About Me…
Wife. Mama. Hairstylist
Who is BB? Rapid fire questions with Bridget Brager
Color you see the world through?
My favorite color is Yellow. It’s simple, crisp and happy. When I look at the world, I’m looking through a yellow lens.
Who are your hair heros?
I went to Gene Juarez Academy in Seattle and won this little hair competition and in doing so I was invited to see Luigi Murenu in action on stage. I was blown away watching him with all his assistants and the hair! 8 months later my husband and I moved to NYC with 10 boxes and 2 dogs into a 6 floor walk up studio apartment.
Early on in my career I had my eyes set to Odile Gilbert. She was the first female I was awestruck by.
I knew I wanted to learn as much as possible so I assisted my little heart out! Guido, Orlando Pita, Danilo, Sam Mcknight, Recine, Holly Smith and more! Learning from these artists was life changing and I’m forever grateful for those opportunities.
Person who inspires you?
I’m lucky to have a handful of inspirational people in my life. Right off the top of my head is my Grandmother, for her fortitude and hilarity (she is 106 yrs old and thriving.) My mother for her grit and perseverance and Dolly Parton! But really, because Dolly is so philanthropic, kind hearted, and beautiful, aside from her mega talent- and she has stayed consistent. She is who she is, and she is a force.
Fashion or Hollywood?
Fashion drives Hollywood red carpets completely. So I draw a lot of inspiration from watching show seasons. I look forward to them! I think having a finger on the pulse of fashion in even the smallest capacity and however you perceive it, is key to being successful as an artist in this Hollywood. Fashion informs artists like me. I need both!
Furthest you’ve traveled for work?
Russia actually, Moscow. My favorite places have been Berlin and Japan. So much history and culture.
Daily mantra?
Action behind passion equals results.
What song gets turned up the loudest in your car?
I’m a sucker for a good story and a good beat. Make me cry or make me run. Either way I will turn it up to 25!
Where did you grow up?
I grew up on the Colorado River in AZ, in a little town called Mohave Valley right along the River. I was very much a river girl- a tomboy on a boat or a wakeboard, in the dirt or around a bonfire. I also loved getting dressed up. I’d spend hours in my room alone listening to music and doing my hair and makeup for no reason. I loved my hometown but when I left, I was gone for good!
Favorite way to destress?
RUNNING!
