And I really 47 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: first met you when Kim Kardashian and Chris were launching 48 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: the Nike camp here on Fifth Avenue in New York City, 49 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: not scar from here, the Skims campaign, and there you are. 50 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: They were doing their hair and you came over and 51 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: you kind of judged up my hair and I felt, 52 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: oh my god, he's touching my head. It's so great. 53 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: But really, and truly you have. You have helped transform 54 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: so many people and changing their entire appearance. You were 55 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: a true artist. 56 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 2: It's been it's been quite a journey. And it started young. 57 00:02:58,639 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: I was only nine years old when I used to 58 00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: do really yeah, very young. But where did you grow up? 59 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: Midlands in the UK. It was a place called Leicester, 60 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 2: so relatively small town. 61 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: You know. 62 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: My mom and dad come from very humble beginnings. They 63 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 2: didn't have great childhood, so we were poor. I was 64 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 2: one of five kids and life just looked pretty great. 65 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 2: It felt pretty gloom and I used to try and 66 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 2: do my mom's hair because I found a way of, 67 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: I guess, using my hands and being creative. And when 68 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: she stood up and looked in the mirror. I found 69 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 2: it probably be powerful because she just had a different ambiance, you. 70 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: Know, and she made pretty. 71 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, she felt something she had never felt before, which 72 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: is pretty, you know, and something that I felt was 73 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 2: very infectious. And I was like, Wow, this feels like 74 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: a superpower. You get to make people feel something, and 75 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: you get to change the way they feel and change 76 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 2: the way they see. Yeah. Absolutely, So at nine years old, 77 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: I got very into something which has now been my 78 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 2: whole career. But I think at school I was told 79 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: because I was dyslexic that I wasn't very good. I 80 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: was told that I was stupid or put in a box. 81 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: And now we maybe understand more about that now, or 82 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 2: I hope so. But at the time I felt, I 83 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 2: guess just misunderstood. And I felt like when I found 84 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: something that was good at, I was like, I'm going 85 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: to be the best at this. So I got very 86 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: fixated on being good at something. I'm proving everyone wrong, 87 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: proving that you know, it could be something you've. 88 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: Worked now, I mean, did Jlo for the Golden Globes 89 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: just recently? 90 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 2: It was nice to be reading. She look great, she 91 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: looked the money that little sculpted up to to some time. 92 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 2: She's such a fun person to work with. I mean, 93 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 2: working in Hollywood, you people say you're gett nervous, you know, 94 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 2: working with stars. But it's funny because I think when 95 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: I do one I don't know, doing hair, it feels 96 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 2: like I when I did my mom's hair. I just 97 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: I'm there to help people look and feel their absolute best, Okay, 98 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 2: so I just kind of step into that role. It 99 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: doesn't feel like she's Jay Low. I probably wouldn't be 100 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: able to do with my job if I did, but 101 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 2: you know, or even with you, it was like, how 102 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 2: can I give you, you know, a better version of what 103 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 2: you've got, and how can I help? 104 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: That's the nice part. You want to make people better 105 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: than they are, and when they're Jlo, who's already pretty 106 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: damn good. Yeah, you made her look phenomenal and that 107 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: Ariana Grande. You have done the covers, the models on 108 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: the covers of all the major magazines around the world. 109 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: Your viral social posts are extraordinary. People just flocked you. 110 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: You have millions of followers and people are really impressed 111 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: with the variety and the expansiveness of your work, which 112 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: is pretty phenomenal. 113 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 2: You know why I decided to do this book, though, 114 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 2: is because there was a very different book. Originally. I 115 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 2: actually wrote a book and it was very different. We 116 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 2: scrapped it because it was a very kind of surface level, 117 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 2: polished idea of Chris Appleton, the people I work with, 118 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: the celebrity stuff. 119 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: You get really into hair here, yeah, we do. I 120 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: tried to read that chapter on banks. I want some illustrations. 121 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 2: Because we need pictures. 122 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: Fringe bangs, straight bank bangs, microbangs made up? Those names? 123 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: Are those just those hairdresser terms? I had never heard of. 124 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: All those kinds of bang introduced you to the banks? 125 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: Oh boy, no, I've never had I've never had banks. 126 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: Really once when I was a young child, And do 127 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 1: you remember hair hair irons that you put in the fire, 128 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: in the gas flame, and you curled your hair with 129 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: these irons you it's supposed to do it on paper. 130 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: While I was in a big rush and I wanted 131 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: to curl my front the front hair, and I went 132 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: like this with a right straight up thross right close 133 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: to my scalp to curl, and my hair completely fell off, 134 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: just dropped probably ten wow.

And he did my 175 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: hair for years after that because we kind of got 176 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: along very well. And he was like the hairdresser in 177 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: that movie with Warren Batty. You know to the iconic 178 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: Oh yes, that introduced me to big time hair. 179 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, but also I guess, I mean, I don't know how. 180 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: You're the big time here now you are. 181 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 2: It well, But I think what's funny about your story 182 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 2: is you know he caught your hair off and how 183 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 2: your husband recognize you. Hair really is a big part 184 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 2: of your identity and it can change so much about 185 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 2: how people perceive you, what people you know think of you, 186 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 2: and also how you act and how you behave you know, 187 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 2: I'm sure you felt very different walking out with that. 188 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: Short I felt great, liberated with those long, long locks 189 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: of mys so absolutely shorn of them. 190 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 2: But so many people get stuck. They get stuck and 191 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 2: they get defined by something you know in their past 192 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: that they were once told, like their mum once said 193 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 2: to them that you're the shy one, or you know 194 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 2: your sister's the outgoing one, or you know you need bangs, 195 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 2: you have a big forehead, and we carry it with her. 196 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 2: I guess our whole lives we carry these stories. And 197 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 2: I think my job, when someone sits in my chair, 198 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 2: has been fun to be able to break those kind 199 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 2: of barriers down a little bit and say, well, why 200 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 2: can't you change?

It's also I think 227 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 2: so many people get stuck in a row, and I 228 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 2: do think it's really interesting. I don't know if I 229 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 2: should mention this not, but I watched your documentary on Netflix, 230 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 2: you know, and I didn't really know a lot about 231 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 2: your story, and I learned so much and then I 232 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 2: thought it was so funny after hearing you talk about it. 233 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 2: But I think what's so funny is you've evolved so 234 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 2: much about your life. You're not the same person. You know, 235 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 2: you're in the same place you were twenty years ago. 236 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 2: You've evolved, You've moved, you've moved on with business, you've 237 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 2: moved on with who you are as a person, and 238 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 2: like not everyone knows they can do that. 239 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I encourage people to do that all the time. 240 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: My little saying, when you're through changing, you're through. 241 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 2: I mean it totally. 242 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,359 Speaker 1: I mean it. I think we all have to continue 243 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: to change, to evolve, not reinvent. No, because it's not 244 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: about that. It's about evolved. Yeah, and you were You 245 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: really talk about that in your book, and I think 246 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: that's a very powerful message to get across to your readers. 247 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 2: But I think people like you, Christ Janna, you guys 248 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 2: are doing amazing jobs have also doing that and showing 249 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 2: that you can do it at any age. 250 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: There is no Chris Jenner seventy years old. She looks amaze. Yeah, 251 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: and so I've talked about energy. There's a woman with 252 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: a true tremendous amount of energy and all those daughters, 253 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: all those children, just succeeding in so many different fields. 254 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 2: You know. I called her the other day. We were 255 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 2: talking about something and there I said, twenty twenty five 256 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 2: was really good for you, Chris. She says, yeah, right, 257 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 2: you know, she got the new face. And I remember 258 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 2: when she first sat in my chair. It's funny, you know, 259 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 2: I've never done Chris's hair, so I've always done Kim's hair. 260 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 2: I've done Chloe's hair, done Kylie's hair, I've done Courtney's. 261 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 2: I think I've done them all. I'd never done Chris, 262 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 2: and I'll be honest with you, I was a little 263 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 2: nervous because she's she's a matriarch, she's a you know, 264 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 2: from a distance, you know, she's the boss, you know. 265 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 2: So I was in Paris with Kim. I've been doing 266 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 2: Kim's hair for ten years now, and Kim said, oh, 267 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 2: could you do my mom's hair whilst we're here? And 268 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 2: I said, yeah, sure on no problem. So I remember 269 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 2: Graham started with Chris at five in the morning and 270 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 2: everyone said, don't be late because she's on time. So 271 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 2: I got there at four forty five. I mean, who 272 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 2: gets up at that time in the morning. But anyways, 273 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 2: there at four forty five, and I thought, oh earlier, 274 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 2: this is great. I'm the head of the game. Walked 275 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 2: in and she's in the chair. 276 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: She's dealing with California time. 277 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she's like morning, you know, almost like I'm late. 278 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 2: So I get in there. She said, just blow it out. 279 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 2: I said, for a second, I thought, I'll just do 280 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 2: what she says, and I thought, actual fact, like, you 281 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 2: didn't wait ten years for this to happen for me 282 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 2: to blow it out. And also, you just got a 283 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 2: brand new face, like this face is new, you look fabulous. 284 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: Let's catch your hair up like you've had this pixie 285 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 2: cut your whole life. It looks great, it's very iconic. 286 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 2: But as you know, you change shows for your identity 287 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 2: and your hair is a huge part of that. So 288 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: we did this sort of slightly longer Bob. I think 289 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 2: how it was at the Skims event in New York. 290 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 2: She had that kind of you know, took behind. It 291 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 2: was kind of sleek and a little slick, and I 292 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 2: did a hair and she said, oh, okay, you know, 293 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 2: and she I sort of did it, and after she 294 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 2: was like, oh, you know, I think she was really 295 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 2: the feeling herself. And we did an event a little 296 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 2: while later and she actually got quite emotional. She said, 297 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 2: I'm so grateful for what you did. She says, because 298 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 2: you saw me as something different, whereas everyone always just 299 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 2: saw me with that pixie haircut. Where you encouraged me 300 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 2: to embrace something different and they did, and now there's 301 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 2: no looking back because it's fun to do different things. 302 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: So that's another thing that Chris Appleton does. He gives 303 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: you a versatility of looks that really make you happy. Yeah, 304 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: And I think that that's really important for people to 305 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: understand that you can wear your hair slicked back, you 306 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: can wear your hair fluffy, you can wear your hair long, 307 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: you can wear your hair with pieces, you can wear everything, 308 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: and you're telling the story look different right totally. You 309 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: change your outfit every day, Why shouldn't you change your 310 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: hair exactly. It's just an expression of how you feel 311 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: that day. And I always encourage people and I tell 312 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: people a lot in the book. A lot of people 313 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: look in the mirror, maybe ten or fifteen times a day. 314 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: You know, you just glance. 315 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 2: You're brushing your tee, if you're putting your lipstick on, 316 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 2: you doing whatever you're doing. Not many people really stop 317 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 2: and look and take a look and sort of see 318 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 2: if their outside image is really aligned with how they 319 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 2: feel on the inside. There is a time people do it, 320 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 2: and it's when they sit in the stylish chair because 321 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 2: they're looking in the mirror and the mirrors looking back 322 00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 2: at them. And it's usually a time where you have 323 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 2: that hater voice and you think, God, is this like 324 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 2: mad looking old? And the amount of women that do this, 325 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 2: oh really, you know, like is this one eye is small? 326 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 2: I'm looking a bit heavy. I've really put some weight 327 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 2: on it, you know, all the voices inside her head. 328 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 2: And it's interesting because I think in the book it 329 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 2: gives you techniques to be able to turn that hater 330 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 2: voice back down and be able to come back to 331 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 2: yourself and just show ways to be able to evolve 332 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 2: from where you're at and break through some of those 333 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 2: preconceived ideas and things. You've carried a whole life where 334 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 2: you are defined by a relationship or by something that 335 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 2: happened in your past, and you've carried it your whole time. 336 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 2: That's why they say the breakup hair cup. I mean, 337 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: for me, it's a big red flag when someone comes 338 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 2: in and then like, just come for a breakup. I 339 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 2: want to cut all my hair off. It's usually they 340 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 2: want to change their identity because they don't want to 341 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 2: see that reflection or they don't want to carry like 342 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 2: hair holds memories, you know, they don't want to see 343 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 2: that relationship on them. They want to see something different. 344 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 2: So it's definitely a time of you know, intense change. 345 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 2: So for people to say like, you know, I don't 346 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 2: care about my hair, well, you're also saying something when 347 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 2: you when you have that approach, you know, well. 348 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: Where did you get your training? Did you get your training? 349 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 2: Yeah? I did. I really went hard at just learning 350 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 2: every I was like a sponge. I just watched anyone 351 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 2: that I saw that was doing something that I spied 352 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 2: to do. I was just like a sponge and I 353 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 2: just was watching them. I watched them how they talk, 354 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 2: how they walk, how they If I was at a 355 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 2: fashion show passing pins, I would watch the head style list. 356 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 2: I was like, what makes him so special? How's he 357 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 2: talking to the women, how's he talking to the designer? 358 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 2: What is his hands doing that might not wear his eyes? 359 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 2: Even working with someone like Kim, I'd watch her create skims, 360 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 2: be a lawyer, be an actress. You know, I've always 361 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 2: kind of watched the people around me and been like 362 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 2: a sponge and absorbed it just because I find it fascinating. 363 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 2: I love to learn. I've always just asked. 364 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: Kim is an actress. I think she's a great guy. 365 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 2: I love it. 366 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: Did you work on the Ryan Murphy stuff? 367 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 2: I didn't.

I'm not very good at repetitive stuff. I 370 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 2: like to change it and keep it evolving. So we'd 371 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 2: go back and they'd say, oh, we need the ponytail 372 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 2: that we had last week, and I'd be like, oh, 373 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 2: and it had to be exactly the same, and I'm like, 374 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 2: can't we revolt and they're like, no, it has you know, 375 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 2: it's very strict. 376 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: So training was by watching did you work with any 377 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: of the great. 378 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 2: Great Soon a lot.

He had beautiful blonde, curly hair. And my 413 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: brothers all had brown, straight hair, and one had wiry hair, 414 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 1: and he had wiry hair. I didn't do very well 415 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: with that. And then I made a terrible mistake when 416 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 1: my little grandchild, he's a tough thirteen year old now, 417 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: I cut his He had hair really always hanging in 418 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: his eyes. And I just went like I did the bang, 419 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: and he did not like he's against me. 420 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 2: Oh the village, I don't know. 421 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: It was instead of dragging, why do. 422 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 2: You always go straight across? I don't like dumb and dumber. 423 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: I don't know It's just I was just trying to 424 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: get it out of his eyes. 425 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 2: Wellhy was that such a thing? It was like in 426 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 2: the night, it was like, get it out my. 427 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: Ruin your eyes. I know, it's so stupid. 428 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 2: And I think we've all I think we're all young guys. 429 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: You have a namesake salon. No. 430 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 2: I used to work on a salon for many years, 431 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 2: but then it just got difficult with doing clients and traveled. 432 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 2: I moved. I moved to America for my career, and 433 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 2: I guess I'm just on the go styleist. 434 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: You know, So do you live out of the suitcase? 435 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 2: I mean there's always four suitcases that follow us around full. 436 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,959 Speaker 1: Of all the little all the tricks. 437 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 2: Magic you need at any given time because you never 438 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 2: really know what you're going to do. You know, sometimes 439 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 2: you have an idea, but last minute, before you know 440 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 2: they get dressed, the dress rips or something. You have 441 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 2: to change your So I think also now there's such 442 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 2: an expectation on a look. So if you go to 443 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 2: a red carpet like the met Ball, people expect to 444 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 2: see something. They want to be wowed. You know, we're 445 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 2: and then people now also want to know how you 446 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 2: do it. You know then when I watch out how 447 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 2: you do it.

Like I said, I did 510 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 2: it to my mom when I was a kid. I 511 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 2: loved it. But I think because I did hair at school, 512 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 2: guys would always the people will say I'm gay. And 513 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 2: that's kind of before I even got time to discover 514 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 2: who I was or where I was at. And I 515 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 2: very quickly thought, well, I don't want to be that. 516 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: So you didn't know you were gay? 517 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 2: No, because it very quickly got pushed on me. There 518 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 2: was a terrible thing, you know, and men die of HIV, 519 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 2: and it just was this. It seemed just a terrible 520 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 2: thing that I didn't want to be. I also didn't 521 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 2: really see many examples of gay men around me that 522 00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 2: I felt like I could relate to. I don't know, 523 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 2: I just thought I'm not that got so headstrong on 524 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 2: just being normal, doing the right thing. I didn't look 525 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 2: left or right. I think like the first time I 526 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 2: saw myself was like probably a when I was twenty 527 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 2: six and I came out, and that was the one 528 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 2: time I kind of looked. And once you see yourself 529 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 2: and you truly see you're not aligned with the life 530 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 2: you're living in. How you feel when something early? 531 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: How old were you? 532 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 2: We never got married. I was with Kate for nine years. 533 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 2: She's a mother with my kids. We were still best 534 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 2: friends now, we still speak every day. We just spent 535 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 2: Christmas together with the kids, and we're really close and 536 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: that's like an unconditional kind of love, you know. We've 537 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 2: always had that bond and the most important thing to 538 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 2: us was the kids that they had. 539 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: How old are the kids now? 540 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 2: Oh god, my kids are twenty one and twenty three. 541 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 2: Kitty Blue she's my daughter, my son Billy he's twenty 542 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 2: three and they are live in La Now. Yeah, you know, 543 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 2: it wasn't pressure, but I said, come and see what 544 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 2: you think. And I think sometimes the best thing you 545 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 2: can do as a kid is leave the town you 546 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 2: were brought up in just to see what's out there 547 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 2: in the world and. 548 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: Live very good to explore and very good to move around. Yeah, yeah, 549 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: I think you're doing the right thing for them, totally. 550 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean that's my out. It's achievement. 551 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: So back to hair. Yes, since you were one of 552 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: the most sought after hair professionals in the world, we 553 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: need to ask you a few questions. Okay about hair care. 554 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: How often should women wash their hair? 555 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 2: This is always such a big debate. There's not one 556 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 2: rule because everyone's hair is different. Some people have fine, 557 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 2: flat hairs, they need to wash it more often. Some 558 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 2: people have very oily hair so it gets greasy so 559 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 2: they need to wash it. But some people will have 560 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 2: curly textured hair and it may be dry and it 561 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 2: doesn't get oily very often. So I mean, I think 562 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 2: the rule is more find out your hair type and 563 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 2: your hair texture and what suits it. But I mean 564 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 2: I would say every two days maybe, you know, but 565 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 2: then if you've got like texture that doesn't get oily. 566 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 2: Maybe once a week. I think everyone's different. It's personalized. 567 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 2: But there's also things you can do in between to 568 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 2: refresh it now, like dry shampoos and. 569 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: Never use that. I'm afraid of dry really Yeah. 570 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 2: Well, color I work with have a great new one. 571 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 2: It actually shampoo grade technology, so there's no like white 572 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 2: mask or dry chalky feel. And it actually it's like 573 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,479 Speaker 2: a shampoo grade clean so you spray on in. It 574 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 2: actually shampoos the hair whilst it's saying and takes the 575 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 2: oil away rather than masks it. So technology has become 576 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 2: so advanced. 577 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: Now you should wash it as much as you think 578 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: you have to wash it, yeah, as you need it. 579 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: And blow drying the same thing. I mean, can you 580 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: blow dry your hair every day? 581 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 2: I mean yeah, if you deed tail me, just use 582 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 2: heat protection. Yeah, but you know most of us do. 583 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 2: How often do you watch your hair? 584 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: Well? This week? I go to the hairdresser three times 585 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 1: day Wednesday Friday because I have events and appearances and 586 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: stuff that I have to you know, look nice. 587 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 2: Can you blow it out yourself? Oh? 588 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't like you. 589 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 2: No, why should you with this? I don't want you. 590 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 2: I wouldn't And if I was marfased you, I wouldn't 591 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 2: bow dramma. 592 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: And I love having my head massage in the sink, 593 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: so sort of a luxury to go down. We have 594 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: two very nice salons in my little town, right, I 595 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 1: live like in the Cotswolds of New York. I live 596 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: in Bedford. Gorgeous and Bedford is a little tiny town 597 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: and we have one little street that has two salons 598 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: on it, and I alternate, you know, yeah, reckon for 599 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 1: whoever's available. But I also have to do it real 600 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: early in the morning, like seven thirty, so they have 601 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: to come in early. 602 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 603 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: Is it different for men or men wash their hair 604 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: much more often? 605 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 2: I think a lot of guys probably just wash their 606 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 2: every morning when the shower, especially when it's short, you know, 607 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 2: or forget to shampoo the hair and just kind of, 608 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 2: you know, put water on it. But it's important to 609 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 2: shampoo you hair because you need to remove the build 610 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 2: up and the oils because you know, after a while 611 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 2: that can can jeal and that causes hell. 612 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: You use heat protection before you blow dry people's hair. 613 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 2: Absolutely, always, like what I use color oil, dream coat, 614 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 2: I mean, all the products have heat protection. In any 615 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 2: decent products should have heat protection just built in. Now 616 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 2: that's just kind of given. Now it's not a special 617 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 2: thing anymore. 618 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: And coloring your hair, yea. I mean I remember when 619 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: I was in high school, I was modeling and I 620 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: must have been fifteen, and I was doing a clear 621 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: role commercial. Wow yeah wow, And Richard Avedon was shooting. 622 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: Of course I can't and I uh, And then they said, 623 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 1: are going to make you a a gorgeous grayish blonde. 624 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: It's like black but beautiful. It stripped my hair, they 625 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: to strip it. 626 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, stripped people's hair. I mean bleach. They say, bleach 627 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 2: and grow, don't go. I mean, I think there's something 628 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 2: to be said. I mean, obviously bleach. It's got so 629 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 2: much better than that. I mean, I work with Schwartz Coough, 630 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 2: So I use a product called Blonde Me nine plus 631 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 2: and it's great because it enables you to get maximum 632 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 2: results and really push the hair without pushing the integrity, 633 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 2: which is really important. 634 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 1: Because there's nothing right here. I paid for it for 635 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: like years. 636 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you really stuff that? 637 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's stripping it. Then your roots come in darker. Oh, 638 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: it's horrible. 639 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 2: You're never going to look good. 640 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: And I was just a young girl at the time, 641 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: so I was like baffled. Yeah, but look in the picture. 642 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, apparently blonde really good. 643 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: So what about protecting your hair from the sun. 644 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 2: I think there is many ways. I mean, hairstyling obviously 645 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 2: is a big thing, like being able to put it 646 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 2: back and put how and it's obviously great. But there's 647 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 2: also sudden screen for hair now, so there's different products 648 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 2: that do offer sudden screen for hair. But son is 649 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 2: a real terror for bleaching the hair out, you know, 650 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 2: really stripping the color out. 651 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: Put lemon juice in our hair. We wanted streaks, you know, 652 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: we wanted to do that. We went to the beach 653 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 1: and no, I don't want that. 654 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 2: It was like a spray. And people used to go 655 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 2: out in the sun and if you were blonde, it 656 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 2: kind of brightened it. But if you were dark, people 657 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 2: in your hair would ginger, you know, around terrible. 658 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: For how does hair care change as you age? 659 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 2: Oh, I think my skin care, you know, I always 660 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 2: think of as this is a good representation. But if 661 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 2: you think about a rose, like a rose grows and 662 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 2: then it's got this really beautiful, juicy blood when we're 663 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 2: bud when we're in our teens, and then the twenties 664 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 2: is that gorgeous fresh rose. But then as we age, 665 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 2: it kind of spreads and it wilts a little bit, 666 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 2: get a few brown bits and bits drop off, and 667 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 2: you know, that's kind of what happens with the skin, 668 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 2: happens with the hair. We lose some of the density, 669 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 2: we lose, the thickness we lose. You know, great hair 670 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 2: tends to be coarser and drier, So I think going 671 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 2: towards more hydrating, more strengthening, but also sometimes thickening products. 672 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: Conditioning is really important. 673 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, and well I tend to use that more 674 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 2: of a product in a shampoo and conditioner. I honestly 675 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 2: tend to recommend people staying more towards shampoos that don't 676 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 2: contain lots and lots of ingredients because people use these 677 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 2: things like OH volumizing, OH antiphraz but it has all 678 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 2: these ingredients that sit behind on the scalp and that 679 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 2: can cause hair loss. So a lot of people notice 680 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 2: their hairs thinning, and it's because they're putting their shampooing 681 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 2: all of these ingredients into their scalp and they sit 682 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 2: there so it's better to get your volume and your smoothness, 683 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 2: et cetera from starting products. 684 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: Do we need to be doing hair masks? Oh? 685 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 2: I love a good hair mask. Yeah, I have made one. 686 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 2: I love it so much. I have a hair mask 687 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 2: called a money hair mask. Like hair masks, it's called money. 688 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 2: The reason we called it money is because it gives 689 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 2: you very hydrated, rich kind of looking hair. 690 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: But the molecule listener's money hair mask money by and. 691 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 2: The molecules are tiny, so basically the absorbing to the hand. 692 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 2: They don't weigh it down. So you know, even if 693 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 2: you have fine hair, it's not going to make it 694 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 2: flat to your head, still gonna have volumes, it's gonna 695 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 2: have sexist books and have that beautiful showe. 696 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: I've heard hair experts say that they can see changes 697 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: to a person's health in their hair. 698 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 2: Is that true? 699 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: Yeah? 700 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 2: I mean a lot of people when they lose weight dramatically, 701 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 2: Like the first thing that happens is the hair goes thin. 702 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 2: So when you're lacking nutrients, it reflects in your hair. 703 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,959 Speaker 1: Like what about taking the ozempics and the mondurros, what happens? 704 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people notice hair loss with 705 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 2: it when they're losing weight. But hair is just usually 706 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 2: the thing that gets affected the most A lot of 707 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 2: the time. It balances out over time, but I think 708 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 2: sometimes when you are cutting short your body of the 709 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 2: nutrients and ingredients it needs, it's obviously going to reflect 710 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 2: in your hand, in your nails. So you can take 711 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 2: supplements to help. Those supplements are great. 712 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: I have a lot of friends with hair is really 713 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: getting thin. Yeah, what can they do anything? 714 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 2: Scalp treatments are really important now. I think a lot 715 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 2: of people kind of didn't ever look after their scalp, 716 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 2: so they put the moisturizer on the face and all 717 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 2: of the creams. But the scalp is an extension of that. 718 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 2: So if the scalp not in great condition, the hair 719 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 2: is not going to be. So I would There's a 720 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 2: product called youth juice. You put it through the hair 721 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 2: and it adds collage into the scalp. Because juice youth juice, 722 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 2: we lose one percent collagen every year after the age 723 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 2: of twenty five, so slowly the scalp is not as 724 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 2: good conditions. So you need to really treat that because 725 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 2: the hair then will grow through, will grow through. It's 726 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 2: like you know, a plant growing through you know, rich 727 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 2: healthy nutrous soil or just dried out dead. So you know, 728 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 2: you've got to keep the scalp really healthy. 729 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: So scalp gere blow drying hair bad good. 730 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,719 Speaker 2: I think it's just necessary. And you know, use heat protection. 731 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 2: But as long as you're not going crazy with the heat, 732 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 2: turn the heat down. If you have fine hair. Those 733 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 2: little tricks just make a big difference. 734 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,479 Speaker 1: And in the book too, you offer an awful lot 735 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: of advice about taking care of one's here. Yeah, and changing, 736 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: changing the styles and being bald and curious about all 737 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: of that. 738 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. 739 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: Do you find it hard to tell celebrity clients that 740 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: they have to change? 741 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 2: No? I love it you do. Yeah, I'll be like 742 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 2: j Loo's do something different or like do we we 743 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 2: do something different than long? I don't know, Like, but 744 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 2: I'm always very I think the thing is with me 745 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 2: is it's never forceful. It's always just like, well what 746 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 2: about you know, you were thinking of doing this, but 747 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 2: we could do this, and that's just a little tweak. 748 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 2: But it makes it a little different, you know, and 749 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 2: it makes it a little bit you know, evolve. And 750 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 2: I think most people are kind of open to that. 751 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 2: I'm never like, let's shave one side off to us 752 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 2: to be dramatic. It's just small changes to sort of 753 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 2: suit the mood where and the story you're telling, you know, yeah, 754 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 2: storytelling with your hair. 755 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: In the book, you do touch on different people that 756 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: you've taken care of. 757 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 2: Yea, did you think. 758 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: About that a lot about who you were going to 759 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: talk about. 760 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 2: I think it just kind of became organic and part 761 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 2: of the people I've worked with and been fortunate enough 762 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 2: to spend time with and I've learned from, and they 763 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 2: kind of, I guess organically just came up in the 764 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 2: book and spoke about some really fun stories. People look 765 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 2: the behind the scenes of it all. You know, you 766 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 2: can post the cover of a magazine, but people want 767 00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 2: to know what happened behind the scenes of it all. 768 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 2: Like our TikTok was fun, but if people are saw 769 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 2: how we were laughing and trying to get it right 770 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 2: and the tower kept flipping off your head, and you know, 771 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 2: that's kind exactly right. 772 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: How did you fill up your style?

I think my style I realized at a 777 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 2: young age it was important to have a brand, you know, 778 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 2: and something that makes you you. And I think the 779 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 2: type of work Kim actually, Kim Kardashian was actually the 780 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 2: one that kind of pointed out to me. She said, 781 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 2: I can always tell when you've done j Loo's hair, 782 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 2: because you know, sometimes I'm not available to other people 783 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 2: do it.

I can't see what reflects back 802 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 2: to me in the mirror. And because their identity on 803 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 2: with their hair, they were like, I can't, who am I? 804 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 2: I look sick And they'd say to me they'd rather 805 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 2: lose their breast and their hair. You know. They found 806 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 2: it incredibly emotionally draining. So I used to work on 807 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 2: these weeks to make them look natural. I'd add a 808 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 2: little route or pluck the hairline, and they would go 809 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 2: out feeling like I saw that thing that I did 810 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 2: to my mum, but on a bigger level of like 811 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 2: they could face the day and try and beat this, 812 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 2: you know, cancer. Now, obviously I do it with celebrities 813 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 2: and it's just such a fun way to change up looks, 814 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 2: you know, in a fast way without too much commitment. 815 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: I know, the transformation in the movies of people is 816 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: a straordinary with hair, yeah, just extraordinary. I mean sometimes 817 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 1: when when I see some of your clients with tiny, 818 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 1: very short hair cuts, I know it's. 819 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 2: A wik Kim's Pixie with Harris? 820 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 1: Is that a wig?
