The weeks following the Oscars or Emmys is always special when you have a
hair design license and know how to use it! Clients come in excited, holding photos of
red-carpet looks and trusting that their favorite hairdresser can create their celebrity hairstyle of choice. When the recent People’s Choice Awards presented canned clips of the winners and the
Golden Globes aired as just a series of live announcements—no stars, no sequined gowns, no updo’s—a little of the snap went out of everyone’s
hair styling certification.
Actors don’t like to cross their writer colleagues’ picket lines in the writers’ months-long strike against the Hollywood production companies. Okay, but that impacts the buzz that salons rely on. So hairdressers have their fingers crossed with new reports of movement in the standoff. Also, an agreement was reached to allow writers to work on the February 10 Grammy Awards show. For the Grammys, at least, there will be celebs, and there will be hair! Still no word on the February 24 Academy Awards, though.
It’s not just the awards shows, either. Having a steady stream of new TV comedy and drama programs creates hair awareness and ever-changing visuals. We all remember how
Jennifer Aniston’s evolving look as Rachel on “Friends” single-handedly drove years’ worth of hair business. Your
hair styling certification gives you permission to glam up your clientele and make them feel like stars. Listen up, writers and production companies—it’s time to settle this skirmish. You’re killing us here!
