Everyone is welcome! We spec Unpacking the allure, the stereotype and the magnetism… By Adriana Ermter “I assess that the most important thing a woman can own – next to talent, of course – is her hairdresser.” —Joan Crawford For Crawford, that stylist was Sydney Guilaroff, MGM’s leader hairdresser. If rumour is gospel, in the early 1930s Crawford plucked Guilaroff from a chi-chi salon in New York City and deposited him in Hollywood, where she’d secured his gig at the behemoth studio. Crawford was under contract with MGM at the moment and believed only a male hairstylist, particularly one who was gay, knew how to create her look desirable to men. Guilaroff didn’t disappoint: not Crawford, nor the other MGM starlets, including Claudette Colbert, Lucille Ball and Judy Garland. He defined each of them with their signature styles of baby-doll bangs, fire-engine red waves and Wizard of Oz braids, respectively. Crawford eventually left MGM for Warner Bros. (where she won an Oscar for her performance in Mildred Pierce), but her respect for Guilaroff’s magic touch never wavered.

Good Gay Hairdressers
A: You realize, I was a small hesitant to address this question because as a hairdresser, I have heard this attitude espoused often and I have many non-gay hairdresser friends who take offense to the attitude.
Heck, I even got a job once over an equally skilled candidate because the person hiring for the position felt that more people would want a homosexual hairdresser.
However, since the question you ask doesn’t say that non-gay hairdressers aren’t as good as gay ones, I decided to pose this ask to my gay and non-gay hairdresser colleagues to get their input, Here was what we came up with:
One: It is generally accepted that most gay men hold a stronger creative bent than the general widespread. This creativity lends itself to all forms of artistic expression, and hairdressing is a prime example. If you look at virtually any creative field, you’ll find a nice proportion of the practitioners are gay.
