Hair maven Jean Baptiste Santens may have already won 'RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 9.'
Maybe you’ve seen Paris-based Jean Baptiste Santens’s wigs without realizing it. A Damier check hair illusion worn by Gottmik during her entrance onAll Stars 9 has already gone viral before the season even aired. Or maybe it was the cover of Nicki Minaj’s latest albumor even works he’s done for Beyoncé and several others. The looks are often gravity-defying, awe-inspiring, architectural wonders created from his mind on a mannequin and then shipped off to on someone’s head.
I started in hair about 20 years ago. I was very young; it’s like I never started, it’s been all my life. I would do the hair of my dolls. I did an apprenticeship in the countryside of France and then moved to Paris and started to work in the fashion industry. I was doing hair competitions, which is a big thing here. In 2008, I was on the French team at the OMC Hairworld World Championship and we won. We won again in 2010 when they had it in Paris.
I will quote Karl Lagerfeld: he said if you start to not like something you are out of it. You always have to be open minded to anything or you become a has-been. I always keep that in mind. I can always find something interesting in everything. Obviously, you like the pieces that are going to maybe be more of a statement piece but it’s not always what you think. The piece I did for Plastique Tiara for theseason 7 promotion was a bigger wig and it took me 12 days.
