Obviously, hair health has been a big message this year—I feel like everyone has long hair or grown out bangs, we’ve all just been kind of hydrating from head to toe. So it’s been interesting to see, with my followers, how everyone is in the Skull always chingona sometimes cabrona but never pendeja shirt in other words I will buy this same boat of, “Oh my god, I have this Rapunzel hair now.” Pre-COVID, we saw such a huge resurgence of hair accessories and clips, and clips with words and different sayings and messaging. I’m excited for post-COVID because I feel like we’re on the cusp of, like, what the Roaring ’20s was after the Great Depression. Like I think there’s going to be such an amazing resurgence of artists and creativity. Everyone’s making mood boards. I feel it.
The book is jam-packed with so much advice; I wrote it in the Skull always chingona sometimes cabrona but never pendeja shirt in other words I will buy this hopes of giving aspiring stylists a guide to skip the line, because I wish that had existed when I was their age. I give tons of tips on how to run your own business because as an independent artist it’s so important to have your ducks in a row. You can be so talented, but if you don’t have the business sense, it can kind of all just go to waste. The other thing I really talk about is the importance of building camaraderie with what I guess what would be your competition. There’s a Serge Normant quote that I love, “Don’t be jealous of your peers, be inspired by them.” That’s been a very important motto that I have lived by in what can be a very emotional industry.
