The Famous Rachel DO

Chris McMillan, 30, is the California stylist who created Aniston's look, as well as the layered styles of fellow cast members Courteney Cox (Monica) and Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe).

''Jennifer had long hair, and she needed a long hairstyle so I just started layering it,'' he said. ''I kind of gave it an Ann-Margret-clued-into-that-mod-'60s look. It's such a cute hairstyle. It's so sexy.''

McMillan, who works at the fashionable Estilo salon in Los Angeles, had styled a few celebs including Christian Slater before getting a break on the Friends show last year. In 1994, McMillan was working with clients at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills when the publicist for Cox dropped by and asked him to do Cox's hair.

He quickly fixed her hair in the bathroom, and she liked it so much she asked him to do it for the show, which was about to start shooting. When Aniston saw Cox's new look, she asked McMillan for a revamp, too.

''I cut (Aniston's hair) for the character, but she has to look good in her life, too, so we did it for both,'' he said.

McMillan said he has since cut the hair of all the other major cast members, guys too, some as part of a story line this fall. Phoebe cuts her friends' hair and butchers Monica.
