Q & A with Orlando
Me and my hair idol!
In November of last year, we were invited New York City to a once-in-a-lifetime Master Styling Class with Orlando Pita. He has always been an inspiration to me, so the chance to take a class with him was amazing! The class was held at a salon called Butterfly Studio on 5th avenue. It was a very small class, only about 20 people, from all over the country. We got to sit down and ask him any questions we could think of, from hair tips to celebrity client gossip. He was cracking us up with stories about Amy Winehouse being so messed up she could barely function (with some pretty ratty hairpieces) and trying to force him to go crazy with her bouffant (he didn't!), and how Gwyneth Paltrow would never let him cut her hair. She would say, "Oh, I have to keep it long for the film I am working on" and then when he saw the movie, she wore a wig the whole time! (Iron Man, of course) Obviously, she let him cut it and the rest is history! He also talked about how T3 developed a special waving iron because of the way he started styling Madonna's hair. After that, we got to see him demonstrate styles from the Giambattista Valli and Dior runways and then we got to replicate them on models with his one-on-one help. It was the greatest experience! I was so lucky to be a part of it, and I hope to have more experiences like that in the future. I may not really do "runway" hair every day, but I learned some great tricks to use for making "real life" hair fabulous!
Love the idea of your new blog! Count me in as a devote reader.
