Longtime celebrity hairstylist Rhonda O’Neal believes there’s no excuse for hair and makeup artists whose skills are limited to working with actors of their own race.
Because she understands the challenges — namely the lack of training opportunities and connections in the industry — that make it difficult for BIPOC to enter the union, she organized theto educate the next generation of stylists. The inaugural four-day intensive and three masterclasses will cover styling textured hair, correcting darker skin tones, as well as crafting hair & makeup for period shows.
With over 100 credits to her name, O’Neal has styled the casts of TV shows like “How to Get Away With Murder” and “Modern Family,” while her film resume includes “Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood,” “Star Trek” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: At the World’s End.” She was also nominated for a Primetime Emmy in 2019 for her work on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.”
“Every morning, three, four or five days a week at 4 a.m., 5 a.m. in the morning, I run up there. We’re on location,” she recalls. “Just about 30 hair stylists, 30 makeup artists and maybe four or five barbers. But I was the only Black person, besides the barbers. About 60 hair stylists [and makeup artists], and you only hire one of us? That’s crazy.”
