A celebrity hairstylist was arrested on accusations of preying on a 15-year-old client at a luxury Miami salon on Wednesday (July 30), Local 10 News reports.

Ryan Pearl, 37, a hair colorist and Redken brand ambassador, was charged with cocaine possession, contributing tot he delinquency of a child, using a computer to seduce a child into engaging in sexual conduct, traveling to meet a child after using a computer to lure them, and two counts of transmitting harmful content to a minor electronically. Miami Police began investigating Pearl after the victim's mother discovered money deposits made in her daughter's Apple Wallet account, at which point she found "alarming" texts exchanged between Pearl and the victim.

“During controlled conversations, Pearl made sexual remarks and sent explicit photographs, fully aware he was communicating with a minor,” a detective’s arrest report obtained by Local 10 News states.

Pearl began communicating with the victim two years ago, when she was a 13-year-old client.

“I was furious, I was very upset. I couldn’t believe someone that has a reputation, and works in a very luxury hair salon was capable of doing this,” the victim’s mother said via Local 10 News.

Police took the phone and an undercover detective texted Pearl, who allegedly sent a nude photo from his couch, CBS Miami reports.

“I am very shy please don’t, do U care that I am 15? How old R U? Explain things to me, I only know things from my friends when they talk,” the undercover detective texted back to Pearl after receiving the photo.

Pearl was allegedly found with pink cocaine, condoms and vaping devices at the time of his arrest and booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center Thursday (July 31) morning. The hairstylist's past celebrity clients include Hailey Bieber, Jake Paul and Sophie Turner.
