We have an AfD nomination for 'List of celebrity hairdressers', on the basis that it is "trivial".

Can't remember the last time that a list article on baseball was nominated for deletion on the basis of triviality. Apparently, stereotypically masculine trivial things are fine but stereotypically feminine trivial things aren't.
Le sigh.

I agree, but isn't such a list OR?

Not particularly. There are celebrities, their livelihood depends quite a lot on their image, so they have stylists and hairdressers. There are sources that discuss their stylists and hairdressers.
As a list writer myself - the best thing is to add citations to the list.
I've been swamped and no time to look at the page yet, but, if it lacks citations - it's in best interest to add them.

I propose an all-male hairdressing edit-a-thon at the next Wikimania. This should be really fun.
