Gunny Hastings
“My favorite red head has to be Isla Fisher. She’s just one of those magnetic personalities on screen. You can’t take your eyes off of her. She demands your attention but makes you feel at ease all at once. She’s so effortless and glamorous; really such a truly balanced artist. She’s one I truly look up to. So authentically her which is what I think we all strive to be.”
Nikay Higgins
“She’s been my favorite actress since My Best Friend’s Wedding. Love that she’s able to rock any level and intensity of red.”

“Haley Williams is the first person that comes to mind when I think of a fiery red head. She was every emo girls style icon and I love how she has evolved her look, sound, and hairstyle over the years. Always fresh and a boss ass woman if you ask me.”
