Even celebrity hairdressers like Gregory Patterson have had their fair share of bad hair days. The way you’re running for Sally Beauty in a panic hire. During a recent interview with WrapWomen, Patterson recalled a time during beauty school when she dyed her hair red, orange, and yellow to the ombre effect. “I looked like a match – it wasn’t cute,” he said with a laugh.
Patterson – after a few tries – finally passed the state board exam and received his hairdressing license. He took a job at a salon with several celebrity clients, where he formed relationships with agents and Hollywood stalwarts. Most importantly, he was able to develop his own “signature style” that became “big, expensive, great looking hair.” Patterson was now the go-to person for recreating this look.
Patterson became the lead stylist on Heidi Klum’s “Project Runway” and eventually Tim Gunn’s “Under the Gun” series. Over the years, Patterson has worked with clients including Anne Hathaway, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Julianne Moore – just to name a few.
As we enter the fall season, Gregory says the ’90s are back, baby, and the “Rachel Haircut” from “Friends”—yes, the one stylist Chris McMillan made famous on Jennifer Aniston—is making a comeback. going, but with a modern-day twist.
“I want to see [the Rachel hair] Come back a little stronger, but I want to see it change a little bit. Not so hardcore,” Patterson said. “I love those face-framing layers. I think they’re so incredibly flattering on so many face shapes, and the texture we’re playing with has completely changed. It’s so soft Although we’re coming in in big, hair-like amounts.”
