Behind all good celebrity wigs, there is a Black hairstylist who is changing the game‼️
Units full of waves, curls, and kinks without a baby hair in sighthas styled the hair of beauties like Mary J. Blige, Brandy, and Taraji P. Henson. The Chicago-bred stylist initially thought he was going to become a background singer. After graduating high school, he didn't really know what he wanted to do and didn't feel like college was the path for him. Though he had a slight interest in hair, it wasn't something he thought of pursuing professionally.
On his first day of school, he realized hairstyling was his calling. "I felt God just tell me this is what I have you here to do," he shares. "It's been magic ever since." It wasn't entirely smooth sailing — he took every course twice before graduating from cosmetology school. After completing school, he decided to study fashion and take a few other classes while he figured out a way to make a living.
in 2011. His styling stint on the reality TV show got him the chance to work with R&B singer Brandy in 2013. She introduced him to the world of extravagant lace wigs with a $10,000 handmade, custom lace unit. It wasn't Wallace's first time to the wig rodeo — he initially started working with pieces calledmade for orthodox Jewish women. But it was, however, his first time working with a wig of that quality and caliber, which made him extremely nervous.
Since then, Wallace has been a major force in the celebrity hairstyling world, whether he's getting Henson ready for a red carpet event or stylingfor a magazine cover. He knows what it takes to slay a wig, but his approach is a little different than what you may traditionally see — Wallace doesn't style baby hairs on any of the lace frontals he installs. The skillful coiffure is big on making sure the hairlines he creates look natural, so he keeps the swoops to a minimum.
