Born and raised in Huntington Beach, CA, Jarman has been “hair-obsessed” for as long as she can remember. At the age of 15, she teamed up with her best friend to offer hair and makeup services to her party-bound classmates. Jarman then moved on to beauty school, and after graduating, she immediately began shooting for the stars. Jarman steadily built a loyal client base until she was bit by the entrepreneurial bug in 2005. She purchased a failing salon and immediately re-branded and re-opened it as Hairroin Salon. Hairroin instantly became Tinseltown's newest obsession, garnering Hollywood clientele including Florence Welch, Tommy Lee, Kylie Minogue, Danica Patrick, and Fergie. For many years Jarman was the key stylist and official hairdresser for the world's most successful female pop group, The Pussycat Dolls. Jarman was the creator of their signature look, which led to work with celebrities such as Christina Applegate, Britney Spears, Lil' Kim, and Carmen Electra. Jarman has also been the principal hairstylist for television shows including ”Beauty and the Geek,” “The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for The Next Doll,” endless commercial spots, and live shows like the MTV Movie Awards. In 2010 she burst into the national spotlight as a finalist on the third season of Bravo's hit show “Shear Genius.” Jarman instantly became a favorite among the judges and was voted Fan Favorite of her season, standing out for her fearless hair creations, free spirit, and endless amounts of energy.Having naturally curly hair herself, she leaned into using perms to solve texture issues her clients were facing – but felt the need to reimagine the traditional perm process, odor and environmental impact. This led her to Italy where she conjured up Curl Cult, delivering a simpler, healthier, more sustainable texturizing treatment with at-home curl support products even natural curls will love.Links: https://www.instagram.com/janinejarman/https://www.instagram.com/curlcult/ https://www.instagram.com/hairroinsalon/ https://www.hairroinsalon.com/stylistshttps://www.curlcult.com/salon-locator/ News from TheTease.comhttps://www.thetease.com/celebrity-stylists-spill-the-secrets-to-achieving-the-coolest-halloween-hairstyles/ https://www.thetease.com/olaplex-names-beauty-executive-amanda-baldwin-as-ceo-following-jue-wongs-departure/

After leaving nursing, she began working in the professional beauty industry as a subject matter expert on infection control and public safety. She has written many articles and spoken to audiences large and small on infection control and chemical safety in the work environment and specializes in the salon and barber industry. In 2020, she became the lead grant applicant on the Cosmetology Compact, working with the Department of Defense and Council of State Governments (CSG) to develop model legislation. Leslie currently works with the CSG (Council of State Governments) on behalf of FBIC on enacting the Cosmetology Interstate Licensure Compact, securing true license mobility for cosmetologists. Previously, Leslie worked with cosmetology boards in over 30 states on the revision of infection control rules and required curriculums consistent with current science and occupational trends. Throughout Covid, she assisted states in developing re-opening guidelines and offered education in all virtual formats to help states re-open. She is a national exam item writer and participated in the Safe Nevada project as well as the Department of Labor Occupational Licensing Consortium. Today we're talking about the Cosmetology Interstate Licensure Compact. According to the Professional Beauty Association's website The Cosmetology Compact is an interstate occupational licensure compact. Interstate compacts are constitutionally authorized, legislatively enacted, legally binding agreements among states. The Cosmetology Compact will enable licensed cosmetologists to practice in all states that join the compact, rather than getting an individual license in every state in which they want to practice. Like the compact for a driver's license, each compact member state agrees to mutually recognize the practitioner licenses issued by every other member state.

Frustrated by the lack of grooming options on the market, but inspired by what he recognized as a true need, David founded American Crew® in 1994, bringing his expertise from behind both the barber chair and the camera to develop the brand and its collection of grooming products designed for men and the stylists they trust. American Crew® quickly established itself as the leading manufacturer of quality salon products for men, offering a diverse portfolio including hair care, styling, shave and body products. Today, American Crew® continues to be the leading professional men's grooming brand in the world. David is also an accomplished photographer, contributing his talent in this area across books, magazine covers and rock albums. He has built success through a well-earned reputation for all things relevant, refined and modern. His vision of uncompromised quality is key to his success.

So, she created a NU Standard to ensure no woman ever does. NU Standard is a revolutionary company with a hair wellness approach toward textured hair. The products aren't just for black women because it's a black-owned company, NU Standard's products are designed to help all women with textured hair. It's about setting a NU Standard in the haircare industry and helping women overcome their hair challenges and achieve their hair goalsBut it's not just about hair wellness. Autumn caters to busy women on the go whether they work from home, corporate America or spend the day as CEO of their families. Bottom line: She understands some women have a few minutes not hours to get their hair just right, so they feel confident while avoiding what seems inevitable: hair damage and hair loss. Autumn wanted to create products that made it easy to care for textured hair without damaging or losing it. She was determined to develop a solution for her Busy Queens, especially those with textured hair, to prevent hair loss.Autumn's blessing is that the haircare industry has been part of her life since birth. After all, her grandfather, Comer Cottrell Jr., created a haircare company in the late 60s that became a global company. Her mom created successful brands that still thrive and her father has helped restructure several haircare companies and some have grown into overnight successes. Autumn grew up in the business. She worked on the assembly line as an eight-year-old and dabbled in various departments until she went to college.After graduating from USC, Autumn found success in the world of finance and insurance. But the stress from running her company was starting to affect her hair. The more she thought about it, the more Autumn knew she needed to follow her passion and help those women with textured hair keep it healthy and strong. She initially struggled with changing her career midlife but she wanted to do something that would really affect people's lives.To build her company, Autumn emphasized one of her grandfather's tenets of business:Build a team of people who are smarter than you to make the dream come true. She set her ego aside and asked the best in the industry for help to build a NU Standard.Links: https://nustandardhair.com/https://www.instagram.com/nustandardbeauty/https://www.instagram.com/hydrasilkpro/https://www.instagram.com/autumn_cby/ News from TheTease.com:https://www.thetease.com/we-have-kim-kimble-to-thank-for-zendayas-new-bangs/

Sponsored by milk_shake X Hello Salon Pro https://thetease.shop/products/hello-salon-pro-subscription-box Interview with Andrew EdwardsonAndrew Edwardson is the Global Brand President of Matrix. Matrix is a leading professional brand whose mission is to elevate its users through a unique portfolio of products for all hair types and all humans. Since assuming this role two years ago, Andrew has refocused the vision of the brand itself – harnessing and expanding upon its pioneering 44-year legacy to connect with the next generation of consumers and stylists. Throughout his 15-year international career in the beauty industry, Andrew has been instrumental in unlocking the potential of and turning around brands and the categories within. His expertise in luxury brand management, product development, and communications reinvigorated Kérastase to become the #1 luxury hair brand in the industry with iconic products Blond Absolu, and Genesis. He has also worked on industry legend Maybelline, supporting pillars like Fit Me and reviving the complexion category in the post-pandemic decline with new star products like SuperStay 24H Skin Tint and the recently launched Sunkisser liquid blushes. With Matrix, Andrew has the same ambition: for this iconic institution to take its rightful place as the love brand for the next generation. And with that in mind, he is spearheading the modernization of founder Arnie Miller's vision, celebrating Matrix as a brand to elevate, inspire, and bring joy to both new and existing consumers and stylists. His renewed focus on haircare is highlighted by the launch of star range Food For Soft (already top 10 in hydration in the market), as well as the new Instacure Build-A-Bond repair range that delivers one billion bonds in every bottle to fight damage.Links:https://www.instagram.com/iamandrewedwardson/https://www.matrix.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewedwardson/https://www.instagram.com/matrix/ News from TheTease.com: https://www.thetease.com/dreamsgirls-hair-and-donnas-recipe-rally-to-provide-aid-to-those-affected-by-the-los-angeles-wildfires/https://www.thetease.com/fastfoils-brings-new-innovation-to-the-foil-category-with-launch-of-first-endothermic-pop-up-foil/Help Those Impacted By The California Fires: https://www.thetease.com/a-comprehensive-list-of-gofundme-pages-for-beauty-professionals-impacted-by-la-fires/

Interview with Vernon Francois:Vernon Francois is a world-renowned celebrity hairstylist, as well as an artist and educator on the Ulta Beauty Pro Team. He is also the owner of haircare brand, VERNON FRANCOIS Haircare, an award-winning vegan and certified cruelty-free product line. The brand's design elements are centered around ‘intuitive color coding and visual icons' to simplify the navigation process for consumers, an idea that stemmed from Vernon's journey with dyslexia. Since childhood Vernon has always had a passion for hair and today he specializes in all textures and types. Throughout his career, Vernon has emphasized the importance of embracing your hair texture and has shown this in all of his high-fashion, celebrity red-carpet looks. His passion began while growing up in a Rastafarian family where hair was a symbolic part of his childhood and relationship with his mother. This passion and the lack of inclusion for different hair textures in the UK at the time inspired Vernon to start his brand. Vernon has a wide clientele and has achieved global publicity for a few of his looks, for example, his work with Serena Williams on the cover of Vanity Fair. Although he is a celebrity stylist, Vernon's influence has reached people at home too. His attention to all hair textures has helped individuals feel seen and gives people all over the world a sense of confidence, something that was hard to achieve before you could see someone on the red carpet who had similar features as you. In 2023, Vernon won the Hollywood Beauty Award. Today, Vernon is the newest Global Ambassador for OLAPLEX. Like all of his other projects, Vernon will use this partnership to continue to empower individuals with coily, curly, wavy, or straight hair, and give them tips to style with ease.

However, Traci's big break came when she was working on The Witch and The Lighthouse, both directed by Robert Eggers. Traci's collaboration with Eggers on these productions landed her the position on Nosferatu, Traci's third feature with this director. Traci was not always aware that her passion for makeup would turn into a career. She attended school in a small program and a lot of her experience has come from self-teaching and repetition. Today, Traci's work is multifaceted, from beauty makeup to eerie and grimy special effects makeup as seen in Nosferatu. Traci has been recognized for her work in the past receiving a few Canadian Screen Award nominations and winning the CSA for Best Makeup in 2022 for her work on the film Night Raiders. However, her most prestigious nomination to date has come from her work on Nosferatu, as Traci and her team have been nominated for the Oscar for best makeup and hairstyling. This huge achievement is only one of the exciting things coming up for Traci as she is set to begin working on the set of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Interview with Victoria Lynch:Victoria Lynch's, Founder of Remi Cachet, career began with a passion for styling hair for friends and family at the age of 14. Her journey started as a young teenager with a small “home salon” where she spent afternoons doing hair post-school. She had a six month waiting list at one time, all appointments taking place in a spare bedroom at her parents home. As her passion evolved, Victoria spent years researching, learning and experimenting with extensions—completing training courses in levels 1, 2 & 3 in hairdressing and taking part in business courses at a local university. Shortly after in 2003, Additional Lengths was born – a depiction of her drive and passion to change the extension industry. Years later, Remi Cachet launched in 2013 to offer high-quality haircare & extensions to the marketplace.Remi Cachet was born from Victoria's 30+ years of experience in the hair industry with accessibility, quality, and sustainability in mind, after discovering a gap in the marketplace for quality and integrity in proper care + high-performing extensions. She spent years growing her education in hairdressing fields, and made it her life mission to discover more efficient ways to install extensions, having access to a wide range of shades, while upholding high standards and ethical sourcing practices. Remi Cachet is now an established, ever-growing business offering multi-award-winning professional quality hair extensions, accessories, styling tools, and aftercare products to service everything from the application to ongoing aftercare and replacement. The brand is on a mission to empower hair extensionists (and consumers) with sustainable, valuable hair solutions that feel natural. With a self-taught, determined mindset, Victoria continues to commit her knowledge and vast resources to drive and expand the extensions + haircare market.Links:https://www.instagram.com/victoriaremicachet/https://www.remicachet.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaYdBDPDCYHv-73iyDhJaDO8vdQWKxhV2Sk57VzGlrEG4R-NOvZtyZ2u-zk_aem_JV9-UAtEUeICJqRmqDCJ6A News from TheTease.com: https://www.thetease.com/what-you-dont-expect-from-the-hair-world/https://www.thetease.com/the-naha-2025-finalists-just-dropped/Rate the Look: Jordan Chiles: https://www.instagram.com/p/DGjSBvGx81m/?igsh=MWFrZ2gyeTltYXRoYw== Keke Palmer: https://www.instagram.com/p/DGlXx7VvWD2/?img_index=2 Aisha Dee: https://www.instagram.com/aishtray/p/DGen5qQJOPo/?img_index=1 Florence Pugh: https://www.instagram.com/p/DGWFqWnORNk/?img_index=1 Help Those Impacted By The California Fires:

Throughout her life, Nickie had faced challenges in her own haircare journey. When she hit her breaking point, she decided to transition to natural hair, which came with its own set of difficulties, like chemical-filled products. In 2014, Nickie decided to start crafting her own formulas that she could trust. When she reached results that she felt confident in and that worked on her own hair, Nickie launched Curls Dynasty. A line of premium, chemical-free, curl products. Nickie was born and raised in Haiti but moved to Florida when she was 13 years old. Her Haitian culture and relationships with her family there are a big part of her story. From a young age, Nickie's mother taught her how to fight for what you want and how to be disciplined. Nickie's personal experience with hair relaxers is what ultimately led her to embrace her natural curls. Patterns of chemical scalp burns and peeling were her breaking point, and Nickie knew that other women were facing the same issues. When Nickie started making products in her kitchen, other women expressed interest, which led her to selling her products in retail stores like Target and Walmart. Curls Dynasty uses only organic and natural ingredients in their products and allows users to target their specific frustrations with their line of cleansers, conditioners, masques, and more.

Interview with Nesrin Ismail:Makeup Department Head Nesrin Ismail has spent the last 20 years honing her craft and demonstrating the versatility of her makeup expertise, from full beauty glam to action-driven special effects makeup, across a range of high-profile television shows and films. Nesrin most recently served as the Makeup Department Head of the hit Hulu comedy series "Deli Boys" where the range of her makeup expertise was on full display - from creating vibrant, full glam makeup looks, inspired by '80s Bollywood and Pakistani, Middle East and South Asian cultures, to overseeing extensive sfx blood and prosthetics makeup. Her other recent credits include department heading the Peacock Original series "Mr. Throwback" starring Steph Curry and created by Emmy-nominated Robot Chicken Creators Matthew and Daniel Libman; as well as the drama feature "Love Is_" from NAACP Image Award winner and Emmy-nominated Writer/Director Mara Brock Akil. Originally from Egypt, Nesrin moved to the US to attend makeup and fx school, determined to build a career in film and TV. Early on, she had the opportunity to assist several celebrity makeup artists before she transitioned into the indie film world, where she quickly learned how to handle everything from beauty and full glam makeup, to special effects. Working on independent films required a versatile approach and indie films is where Nesrin sharpened and honed her expertise. Seeking larger-scale opportunities, Nesrin made the leap and moved to Atlanta, where she landed her career-defining break on Season 5 of The Walking Dead.

Interview with Erim Kaur:Erim Kaur is the founder of the hair and beard care brand ByErim and a beauty influencer. Erim's career did not start in the haircare industry. Early in her professional life, Erim worked as a social media consultant for various companies. It wasn't until she founded ByErim that her professional work with hair started. Erim lost her mother at just eight years old to cancer. This life experience and the absence of such a prominent figure in Erim's life is what perpetuated her love for hair. Since then, Erim has looked at hair as a way of preserving the beauty and significance of her mother's hair while holding family traditions close to her heart. Her mother was not the only female figure in her life who cared about hair. Erim's journey began with her Dhadi or grandmother. She was a woman of tradition, with a treasure trove of magical remedies passed down through generations. Erim's relationship with her grandmother is where she learned to create the formulas that would soon be used in her own hair products. It took Erim fifteen years to create the perfect formula but today she is the owner of this luxury hair care brand built on the foundation of love, loss, and a deeply personal journey. ByErim features a variety of hair and beard products, including oils, scrubs, and accessories. On top of her successful business, Erim also uses her social media pages to form online connections. She views herself as an older sister for those who grew up without a mum or sisters. Erim's career has taken off both on social media and behind the scenes. In 2022 she won the Natwest & Telegraph's #1 Female Entrepreneur to Watch award.

Rita Hazan is equal parts colorist/artist/innovator. A NYC native, Rita is recognized as a pioneer, carving her own niche in the beauty field. Known not only for her eponymous Upper East Side salon and for creating the Root Concealer category, Rita's iconic looks on celebrities such as Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, Aubrey Plaza, and Sydney Sweeney have had a lasting impact on worldwide beauty trends.Rita always knew she wanted to work in the beauty industry. She started her career as an assistant at Oribe Salon. After a few years of making sure she knew everything there is to know about color, Rita was promoted to work as a colorist. In November of 2007, Rita had her first public appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show. Rita didn't always plan on starting her own haircare line, but she knew that if she did, it would have to be something necessary and true to herself. That is how the infamous root concealer was born, a way for women to cover their grays in between appointments. From then on, Rita continued to produce products that made it easier for people to take care of their hair from home.
