Khloe Kardashian Cuts Stylist Down to Size

So Khloe Kardashian's people got back to us about her $4,500 haircut ... and they say the name-dropping stylist who fed us the story is as full of crap as he was desperate for attention.

People close to Khloe tell us the Kardashians have never even heard of stylist Roy Arbib or Shampoo salon -- and said, "It is sad that people will go to any length for press ... who lies about doing a bride's hair? Khloe's hairstylist Frankie Payne did her hair for the event."

The salon has yet to get back to us.
