I've got wrinkles.

And they kind of start tearing themselves apart.

But it's the one time I notice where they're vulnerable enough to sort of open up.

and the possibilities are endless in what you can create.

And I've done that with celebrities now that people know, but also just, you know, women that came in the salon every week, like cancer patients that lost their hair, models on a runway.

And I noticed that when you really see someone and you really get into sort of where they come from, why they look the way they look, and the possibility of like changing that, it was really powerful.

And people really kind of related to that.

All people, not just like rich or famous or,

You know, because hair is like an identity.

Totally.

But you carry it from a child.

Because a lot of the time you're told as a kid who you are.

You're like, you're the quiet one.

Or, you know, your brother's the clever one.

You're the one that's artistic.

Or, you know, or even as a job, like I want you to be a doctor when you're older.

Like people...

go into relationships, jobs, make financial decisions, all based on what they were told to do or what society told them to do.

And then you get to an age where, and I mean, I got to an age where I realized you could change, but not everyone does know they have the power to change that.

And that's kind of what the book is about.
