Kyan starred alongside Ted Allen, Thom Filicia, Carson Kressley, and Jai Rodriguez. Queer Eye was revived with a new Fab Five in 2018 when a Netflix reboot released its first season to positive reviews. The 2018 series features Antoni Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness, Bobby Berk, Tan France, and Karamo Brown.

He published Beautified, his own book on grooming for women, and became a spokesman and product advisor for L’Oreal in 2004. In the same year, he was also invited back to speak at his previous school, Loyola University in New Orleans.
He then moved from New York to Los Angeles, California, in 2007. He told the now-inoperative TV show Out in Dallas that he had wished to pursue acting and was taking acting classes. Kyan told Sirius satellite radio channel Out Q in November 2007 that he was in the process of purchasing land in Mexico. He was considering opening a yoga retreat there.
