Johnny Wright

When you're hot, you're hot. Isn't that right, Johnny Wright? According to the Hollywood Reporter, the celebrity hairstylist is about to enter the world of reality TV as star of his own docusoap or makeover series. Miller, who has worked with the likes of Vivica A. Fox, Candace Bushnell, and Rebecca Gayheart, has also styled another high-profile client: First Lady Michelle Obama.

Executive VP of 44 Blue (the production company behind the deal), Stephanie Drachkovitch, told the paper that Wright's personality made an impression on her. He made a good impression on me, too. Check out my interview with the stylist to see more. "We fell in love with him before we knew [that he styled Obama's hair]," Drachkovitch said. "There's a lot of hairstylists out there who do celebrities, but they can't center a show." While details of the show are still in the process of being ironed out, I'm looking forward to seeing what Wright will bring to the table. How about you?

Get ready to know the name Johnny Wright. A stylist at Frederic Fekkai, he's worked with famous beauties such as Anita Baker, Vivica A. Fox, Vanessa Williams, Selita Ebanks — and one very high-profile client, Michelle Obama. I'll share some of his easy hair tips later this week, but for now, read on to find out what's behind Michelle's style.

How did you start working with Michelle Obama?
It kind of happened on a whim, and I’ve been doing her hair now for a year. My agent out in New York booked me for her Ebony magazine shoot, and she liked it so much that she had her people book me. I actually just got a call today from her saying I’m booked with her for August a whole week — I’m going to do her hair in Denver.

Denver! Denver is important.
You know, I was very nervous with that particular booking. I was highly screened before I was even allowed to walk into her room — and I totally understand that. Whatever it took for me to be booked with her, she is a very normal person. She has two young children, and I think that her staying normal keeps them normal too. It’s just great working with her. She’s never picky; she never asks me for things I probably can’t do. She’s very understanding.
