Richi Grisillo is the hairstylist behind names like Eva Mendes, Tyra Banks and G Flip, and a global ambassador for Moroccanoil. But when he's not backstage at Fashion Week or on tour with musicians, he's baking chocolate cake and preserves for a shot at a ribbon at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.
In this episode of The Edit, Richi chats to Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief (and his real-life client) Elle Lovelock about closing the salon he opened at 28, building a smaller, more private studio in its place, and the surprisingly daunting experience of competing against the Country Women’s Association for the first time.
Plus, Richi opens up on why he moved back home with his parents in his 30s, his dream of a modern farmhouse with a kitchen garden, and why he thinks you should never trust someone who doesn't serve dessert.
