Britney Spears has made a longtime dream come true for celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, who recently made headlines after revealing that he once charged $200,000 for a haircut. Appleton, 42, shared a photo with the 44 year pop icon on Instagram on Monday, June 1, with a heartfelt caption reflecting on working with a star whose music shaped much of his childhood."As a kid growing up in England, Britney Spears was the soundtrack to so many moments. Never in a million years did I think I'd one day be standing behind the chair (or in this case her standing behind mine, lol) styling her hair," the celebrity hairstylist began the caption."Some moments really do come full circle," he continued. "She is not only an icon, but one of the most genuinely kind and gentle souls I've ever met." The message accompanied a selfie featuring Appleton and Spears. In the photo, the singer playfully held several curling tools behind the hairstylist while sticking out her tongue for the camera. Appleton smiled alongside her.Spears sported her signature blonde hair, styled straight and parted down the middle. Appleton wore his dirty blonde hair in a relaxed, windswept style.The collaboration comes just weeks after Appleton opened up about the highest amount he has ever been paid for a haircut during an appearance on the "Great Company with Jamie Long" podcast, published on May 6. The celebrity hairstylist, whose client list includes Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian, admitted he had previously understated the figure.The celebrity hairstylist previously claimed his highest fee was $100,000, but he was lying. “It was $200,000,” he revealed on the “Great Company with Jamie Long” podcast published on May 6. “But I said 100 because I was afraid of what everyone would say. I said it, and then I was scared.”"Appleton defended the headline-grabbing amount, explaining that the figure does not reflect most of his work. “there’s plenty of times I do work for free. There’s plenty of times I don’t get paid that amount of money.”
