More quotes by Guido Palau
I celebrate every culture. I love the mix of cultures and I'm never going to change that because that's inspiring to me.
Guido Palau
I think now because of this whole social media thing, people obviously felt these things [about cultural appropriation] before, and they comment on everything.
Guido Palau
I didn't do great in school. I didn't have many options. I mean, I'd like to have gone to art college, but I didn't have the grades. I didn't have any qualifications. But I had some friends who were hairdressers, so I just thought, Well, I'll have a go at it.
Guido Palau
Even though the industry is very big and there's lots of money, when it gets down to it, whether it's a photographer or a designer, as well as a stylist or makeup artist, you're really only working with maybe four or five people on a project. It's all quite small and intimate.
Guido Palau
Suddenly it was cool to have your hair lank . . . It was a whole different way of looking at things, and it shook up the whole industry.
Guido Palau
I got into hairdressing and moved from Dorset to London, where I got an apprenticeship at Vidal Sassoon. This was around '83 or '84. I was working on South Molton Street, which was then the epicenter of all the shops. It was like a catwalk. So I did my apprenticeship there, but I wasn't successful.
Guido Palau
I worked in salons, where you do learn the basic sort of thing. But I didn't know anything about the kinds of things I'm doing now. I learned how to put hot-rollers in.
Guido Palau
I didn't know I wanted to be a hairdresser. I was always interested in fashion and imagery in a very naive way, but it was always an attraction, like glitter balls.
Guido Palau
Fashion now is just so confusing. It doesn't feel as easy. Fashion seems to be in a much more eclectic place.
Guido Palau
When I think of the people I've worked with, all of them have great passion, and the passion is what keeps people inspired.
Guido Palau
I must say, Gisele's [Bundhen] got some of the best hair I've ever touched.
Guido Palau
As the older ones, to understand that it is a different time, and young people look at fashion in a different way . . . It's just different. If we harp on about it, they'll feel like we're just old fuddy-duddies, so I just kind of get on with it. I still feel I've got things to say.
Guido Palau
Fashion was a very insider industry then - it was very closed. So I didn't really know what I wanted to do.
Guido Palau
I like hair that's been 'worn in' because it's much easier to deal with.... I actually don't like it when [models] come in with this beautiful, thick, glossy hair. I think, Oh, no! I can't do a thing with this!
Guido Palau
When you work with great people, you learn - about film, about clothing, about life, about sex.
Guido Palau
Every culture to me - be it Asian, African, be it whatever - is a source of reference. I don't think I'm 'stealing' it or anything.
Guido Palau
I think to many people, textured curls still signify 'difference.' And kids like to pick on what's different.
Guido Palau
I have a total complex [because of my curls], though, because I got teased a lot as a kid.
Guido Palau
Fashion is emotional, and the way women look at it is emotional, so it's very important to try to connect with a woman's idea of how she might feel.
Guido Palau
I'm not giving up on my work. I'm still trying to challenge people's aesthetics and myself.
