“I’ve been a hair dresser all my life. It’s what I do. It’s what I love.” ~Oribe
Recently, me and some of the DNA crew got the opportunity to participate in Oribe backstage in Las Vegas. For those of you who don’t know who Oribe is you might just want to google him! On the real though- He is a distinguished and renowned hairstylist and has been lauded as one of the top hairdressers in the US and perhaps the world, by key fashion designers and editors. Oribe’s combination of session, and salon work spans over three decades, and he has defined the notion of fashion over the course of a career of unprecedented longevity and scope. He is absolutely AMAZING! He created a luxury hair product line that is out of control!
I must tell you the odds were against Amy and I when we were out numbered by the DNA boys… One of them had this fabulous idea to ride roller coasters on top of the tallest building on the Vegas strip!! Don’t worry Alfie I wont tell anyone that you paid to NOT ride any of the rides
Long story short I pretty much lost my life when I was hanging over the edge of the building!!! As if that wasn’t enough, we then got on this thing that decided we weren’t already high enough so it shot us straight up into the sky…. and then dropped us!! I’m assuming the only point in entertaining yourself in such a way is to make sure you still know how to scream or cry???
Thankfully we are all still alive…..
The actual Oribe event took place in a club! Which all made complete sense when he came out… Cause he is a freaking rock star! That guy has mad steez! I never thought i would say this of a man his age but he is is sexy!!! Oribe inspires me in so many ways. He has an amazing ability to captivate any audience. Even people who don’t do hair couldn’t help but be inspired by Oribe. He believes there is beauty in everything even the grotesque. He had over 300 creative directors and salon owners from all over the world rethinking there entire approach to something they’ve done on a daily basis!
This was a very inspiring weekend and I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to hang out with some of the most brilliant stylist out there! Everyone was seriously on it!!! I will never miss an event the Oribe crew puts on
