Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, known for his work with Kim Kardashian, joined Hulu's The Kardashians on June 29th to help Kim look her best for her driver's license photo. During the episode, Appleton, 40, expressed the importance of a good driver's license picture, mentioning how people often end up with unflattering photos that they have to live with for a long time.
