00:00Hey guys, it's Alana from Page Six Style, and I am here with Melissa Perizzo, owner and stylist at IGK Salon.
00:07She's famous for her five-month wait list and for cutting the locks of folks like Sophia Ritchie Grange,
00:12Hailey Bieber, Paige DeSorbo, Brooks Nader. The list really goes on.
00:17We met through IGK. One of my partners set us up, and I had all these grand ideas of things that I wanted to do to her hair.
00:25And I gave her the blow-dry that I'm probably most known for, and she, the entire weekend, was like,
00:34no, we're just going to go back to the blow-dry. I had all these ideas to showcase what I wanted to, what I thought my best work was,
00:42and I realized that my best work is doing really simple things, leaning into simplicity. It works for me.
00:51Yeah, and it's such a key part of her look, too, I feel like. It's why people love her.
00:55Most people want to feel beautiful.
00:58I saw you also did Bad Bunny for the Met Gala.
01:00Oh my God.
01:00That must have been so much fun.
01:02Yeah, so I helped one of my friends, Mariah, do that, and that was a full-circle moment because I am Puerto Rican.
01:09My mom is Puerto Rican.
01:10Oh, really?
01:10And so doing hair for, I feel like, sometimes my family at home isn't quite sure why I'm never available or never at the family event.
01:20And then you do something like that, and it was really, really incredible to be a part of, like, such a fun, big moment.
01:28Okay, so in my research, I also saw that you were the first stylist to take Hailey Bieber's short and give her that really cute bob that she's kind of become synonymous with.
01:37It's funny because at the time, she wasn't Hailey Bieber, she was Hailey Baldwin, and now to see, like, who she is is incredible.
