Nick Arrojo Talks about "What Not to Wear"

Описание: http://pixvid.me/WhatNotToWear The Masters of Beauty program is a two day event meant to educate hairdressers and enhance their skills by teaching them cutting edge techniques. The program was brought about by Empire Beauty School and Nick Arrojo, the famous hairdresser. Nick reflects on how he transitioned from being a well-known hairdresser to becoming a full-blown celebrity.

Nick had been doing small TV appearances throughout his career, but on the way back from one show, he received an email asking him to try out for a new show called What Not to Wear. It had already been successful in England, and it seemed like it could be popular in America. Nick figured he had nothing to lose, so he accepted.

The film crew arrived at his small salon which had just launched. They filmed him doing a five minute consultation with a customer. Nick was so busy that the crew and the show really wasn't on his mind. However, he got a phone call the next day confirming a ten-episode pilot season. Nick thought this would be a fun project, but not a life-changing one.

Those ten episodes were filmed and he enjoyed the work. He thought of it as a sort of time capsule - something to look back upon later in life.

But then he got another message: A second season was confirmed, and this one would be 50 episodes. Nick was floored. Part-way through the season, Nick noticed his life was changing. People started asking to take his photograph. He was surprised by the public's interest in him.

By the time the thirds season of What Not to Wear aired, he was being recognized everywhere he went. People started visiting his salon like a tourist attraction, taking photos outside and peeking in through the door and windows.

Nick says the best thing about the show is that he gets to see what the customer does with his or her hair long after they walk out of the salon. Usually, he only gets to see the transformation of his clients from their old hair style to their new one. But thanks to What Not to Wear, he gets to see how the client looks several weeks later.

Nick is grateful to be on the show. He sees it as a great learning experience and a great opportunity. He also thinks it has had a strong impact on the hairdressing industry, heightening people's perception of it and considering it more professional than before.
