I once worked with this guy named Edward Morgan.. Edward was obsessed with blondes. He had three goals for every woman that sat in his chair.
1. She should wear her hair long
2. She should have a great blowout
3. She should color her hair blonde
Edward had just come from Beverly Hills, where he played Johnathin Antin’s assistant on the second season of Blow Out. For him there was no other color to have in your hair. Edward and I once flew from LA to Baltimore to attend a class on red hair coloring. Edward spent the entire class telling the world that he didn’t have one red client. When the CEO of the Goldwell Hair color company showed up in the red color class and asked if there were any questions from the stylists attending the class, Edward asked the guy point blank why Goldwell doesn’t make a bleach specially made for baliage blondes. There is a certain kind of woman, who wants a certain kind of blonde. When a woman walks into the salon with a designer handbag and giant Channel sunglasses on and sits in Edward’s chair she will say something like “Edward…..can we go really really blonde?!”
After this Edward might take a stroll over to the color room. If I was in there I would ask him something a typical stylist might say, such as “So, what do you have going on?” That’s when he would bust out his signature phrase “I’m making her party bitch blonde” he would say. “Party bitch blonde” was reserved for the girls that didn’t want any warmth. No gold, No lowlights, just super blonde.
Today I had Robin in my chair. Robin is a self proclaimed “picky bitch”. She told me before I even started “Oh Jeff I’ll tell you if I don’t like it.” Today she wanted to be P.B.B. Edward would have been so proud. I did manage to sneak one small lowlight into the front of her hair. Midway through putting the foil in the front, she called me out. “Are you putting a lowlight in the front?!!!!!!” I told her that I was just putting my personal tag in her fringe. She calmed down after I assured her I would get her really blonde. After I finished the color she wanted to put the big sunglasses on for the blowdry so she could look like Wendy. This week she is working as a fitness model. She will be ready to party when the camera snaps.
