I read the comments from where this article came from and seems some think she knew what he was. Not sure why people would think that but in some regards when you work with people you do kinda get to know them.
Honestly in some photos of him? His hair looks like crap! I would never have hired him on that alone. A hairdresser who has crappy hair...nope not gonna happen.
You walk into a barbershop (or salon) and see two barbers (stylists). One has a crappy haircut, the other has a great haircut. Most gravitate towards the nicer haircut, but remember, the other frumpy barber is the one who gave him that haircut!
There’s an old joke about two barbers in the same shop, one with a nice haircut and one with a nasty haircut.
The punchline is barbers cut each other’s hair, so the barber with the bad haircut is the one you want.
In a two-barber shop, you go to the one with the worst haircut!
