Marco Pelusi Interview - T. Gordon Salon Talks Interview
Celebrity Hairstylist Marco Pelusi Interview With Tony Gordon of Gordon Salons. We discuss the Future of the Hair Industry, What it's like to be a celebrity stylist, and how best to perform under pressure.
How to be a Celebrity stylist-A conversation with Marco Pelusi
Marco Pelusi fits right in the Hollywood scene, effortless cool, velvety voice and loads of beauty cred. Marco does a lot of famous people's hair. He is especially focused on hair color, he is what we call a celebrity colorist. He throws around names like James Brolin and George Clooney as if there all buddies, and he isn't kidding, they are. As a stylist you become quite familiar with your clients, as we all know. I am a little familiar with this special world of celebrity hair styling. The celebrity world has its special considerations.
Celebrity handling are stories of lore at Gordon Salon and in the Gordon household. Like when my father did Tipper Gore’s hair for the Democratic Convention in Chicago or my sister worked on this celebrity and that, for various films, Walk the Line, American Hustle and many more. I like Marco’s philosophy when it comes to celebs, “ Just treat everyone like a celebrity.”
The celebs do need some special consideration, there is no doubt. A Celeb has paparazzi, and an entourage and a current script they are working with. So Marco has a special salon space to keep out the prying eyes; on a second floor and in the back, a special entrance. More than anything, Marco knows how and when to stay quiet, an important attribute in this selectively secret town. Loose lips sink scrips.
Now I know there are so many young stylists who want to break into this star studded world. What does it take? According to Marco Pelusi, no relation to Nancy the California congresswoman, he says-networking. Yep, good old networking, rubbing shoulders, follow up phone calls, who you know, etc.
Now it helps to be a very accomplished practitioner in the art of hair. Marco teaches large classes at big hair shows and has a huge social media following, has a team of stylists, his own product line and a strong legacy of great hair. He is a top stylist.
In regard to his salon, in California, all are hampered and he laments the state of salons in his adopted place. Marco is one of those guys that if he was almost anywhere else in the country he would have a huge salon with lots of staff, yet not here. California has a group of laws that restrict or make it virtually impossible to run a traditional salon. 98% of all salons are booth rental, the bain of the industry. For those of you that aspire to be a superstar like Marco, a celebrity stylist in West Hollywood, just subtract the mega salon you want to own from the equation. Tinsel town has its ups and downs.
Since Donald Trump was a TV star before entering politics I couldn’t help but ask what he would do to the Prez’ hair. Marco advised changing his hair to wheat or beige, basically toning it down. Melania was safe as she fits his aesthetic and high taste level for the perfect locks. As he was saying that Trump's hair should be toned down, I couldn’t help but think “The Donald” could be toned down in all areas.
Marco knows how to create what looks good on camera. A special skill. Marco can teach you, get in touch with him at marcopelusi.com
