‘I’ve always enjoyed messing with hair’
“I’ve always had blonde hair, but there have been times when it’s had some pink or blue in it. I’ve put braids in it and tried other things.
“I’ve always enjoyed messing with hair. When we were kids, I would cut off the hair on my Barbies. My girlfriends and I would dye our hair using Kool-Aid. Sometimes we would lock ourselves in the bathroom and do our hair. We would spray on Sun In and put the blow dryer to it. Or we would go outside, and the sun would lighten it. We did all kinds of stuff.
“My goal was to have my own barbershop by the time I was 30. It didn’t happen until I was 34, but I made it. I just enjoy fixing somebody up and making them feel good about themselves. That makes me feel good, too.”
