Caile for Hair.

Jenuine West - Monday, December 21, 2009
On Melrose Place nestled between Oscar de la Renta and Kate Somerville, you can find a quiet pathway to the John Frieda salon. As you pull back the glass door, a peaceful pool with hanging green vines greets your eyes. The smell of Love, Passion, and softly scented Shu Uemura products hits your nose. Greeted by a cheerful receptionist, you are ushered to change into a smock to protect you from the elements. Upon exiting the changing room, you are greeted by Caile, a smiling stylist with tons of talent. Quick hello's and off to be shampooed.


 
It's been about a year since I started seeing Caile and in a world where stylists have made me look like a China Doll, cut my bangs too short or the most terrifying of all - curled my bangs under, he was sent from heaven.

You get to know someone a bit, after sitting in their chair but Caile filled me in on the rest...

Q:        It has been rumored that you were quite the successful motor dirt biker - competing biker to hair stylist is a big leap - what initiated the change over?
 
A:        I had been racing bikes professionally for 6 years and acknowledged that it couldn't last forever. Through a mutual friend I was introduced to a bike enthusiast that happened to be a successful hair stylist and I was intrigued by his profession... Working on beautiful women, being creative and having the freedom to vacation whenever he desired! It sounded to good to be true. After sharing with him that I had been cutting my own hair since the age of 17 and the hair of other racers while traveling on the road- he pushed the idea to check out the Vidal Sassoon academy onto me. He told me that I should go take a tour and when I'm there I would know. So the next week I went and I knew... With a two year contract just renewed I signed up the next day for the following year!

 Q:        Where did you study?

 A:        I attended the Vidal Sassoon Academy and completed the cosmetology program along       with an extensive number of advances courses in creative cutting. I have also attended a   number of advanced courses in NYC at Bumble and Bumble.

Q:        In the realms of your profession - what is your favorite thing to do?
 
A:        Something inspiring! It's all about the art of hair and the creation of beauty is art. It doesn't matter if I'm on and editorial shoot, working backstage for fashion week or giving someone an extremely creative haircut. It's all about looking at the final product and being able to say, "Now that's why I do hair!"

Q:        What do you love about Los Angeles?

 A:        Other then all my favorite restaurants I love that there is more of an individual style in regards to fashion. I love that no matter where you go you can dress it up or down as long as you own it! It's all about the contradiction but then again you only know if you know!
