Hair Talk With Chris Whitaker


Intrigued with hairstyling since he started to style his sisters hair at age 12, Dallas native Chris Whitaker dreams big and that his hands will lead him to working in Paris and all over the world.


Recent graduate from Ogle school of beauty, and hair Whitaker was motivated to become apart of the hair industry by his Aunt. He's a flexible hairstylist and has been taught to work with Caucasian hair and ethnic hair. "That just makes me more valuable as a hairstylist, I'm very open to anyone" Whitaker said. He provides his clients with tips to maintain their hair until the next appointment with him.


When it comes to maintaining a healthy head of hair Whitaker provides the following:


- Know the right products to use that works best for your hair


- If you decide to bleach your hair and you get a few highlights, or highlights all over prepare your hair by getting it to its most healthiest point.


- Deep condition your hair two weeks in advance since bleach strips the hair of everything.


- After your hair has been bleached deep condition it so it won't look dry and lifeless.


- If you use heat on your hair use a heat protector.


Very product conscious Whitaker recommends Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree shampoo and conditioner. 'It makes my hair feel fresh and clean plus it smells great" Whitaker said.


In the future Whitaker is planning that his skills will lead him to major fashion shows such as Victoria's Secret, and prominent fashion designers during Fashion Week in New York City. Already a major name in Dallas this is only beginning for him.
