Irish hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons said he "laughs all day every day" when working with Khloe Kardashian.

The 32-year-old Dubliner works regularly with the Kardashian-Jenner family and said that while he likes to keep his work and private life separate, he has great fun working with them.

"When I work with Khloe we're just laughing the whole time, like all day every day, but work is work and I have my friends and I have my private life because I need to, I'm an introvert," he told Ryan Tubridy on the Late Late Show.

"I generally don't try to become friends with clients because I like to work and then get out of there and go home."

Fitzsimons has also counted Mariah Carey and Adele among his clients, and said energy is a big priority for him when working with people.

"I take my work very seriously but I also like to have fun everyday and enjoy myself every day, and I can only really work with people when I enjoy their energy so every day is fun," he said.

Fitzsimons grew up in Ballinteer and started his career at the age of 13 with a summer job in a hair salon. He then moved to Paris a couple of years later to pursue his passion, before ending up in New York. 

Speaking on 2FM with Louise McSharry, Fitzsimons revealed that the most pivotal moment for his father  appreciating his talent was when he told him he had styled former news presenter Anne Doyle's hair.
