When it comes to hair, everyone knows, women don't play. And stereotypes make it just about black women; but just like that chicken myth, that's a narrow minded lie. Mostly, ALL women, despite their ethnicities, make a big deal about their hair...and hell, we should. It is, after all, the attribute that could either make or break us in terms of appearance, and for our hair, we'll go all out.
From dye jobs, to 15 inch extensions to going bald and wearing a lace front, women are known for spending the time and money and taking the risk on their hair. Some of us go natural, go blonde, get dreaded up...the styles are endless. But, here's the catch... not just any ole body is allowed up in our hair...it's like the golden rule. And when we find that one person, and try them out for at least three appointments, oh that, that's something special.
That's why Emmy Award winning Oscar James has made such a great name for himself. He is Hollywood's leading man when it comes to whipping up some hair. And he's damn good. His client list includes Beyonce, Tyra Banks, Iman, Rick Fox, Vanessa Williams, Deborah Cox, Luther Vandross...the list is endless. Point blank, the man has it going on.
Supermodel Iman says that she does not trust anyone else in her hair but Oscar James. And that speaks volumes about Oscar and the work that he does.
"I think Iman and other celebs choose me first because I'm very versatile," he said.
He's great friends and colleagues with Sam Fine, celebrity makeup artist (he was featured one of my previous love letters, Loving What I See in the Mirror). He considers their work as teamwork and says that he enjoys working with Sam.
Oscar's success is amazing and he remains to be modest and humble. Tyra Banks said that when she's in his chair, people walk in and ask for his autograph, not hers.
"It's funny because very few people recognized me off sight," he explained. "But usually when they hear my name they know me"
Again, and I may just say this every letter, passion should be the vehicle that drives you. And Oscar's passion is hair and beauty. He said, "I enjoy making people look good. It makes me happy."
We love you Oscar James! You are quite an inspiration... Keep whipping up that hair!
Love,
Vee
