| Sexy Hair’s Kardel at the Emmy's Outstanding Achievement in Hairstyling for a Drama Series for her work on the ABC soap opera One Life to Live. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kardel has been working behind the chair for Sexy Hair since 2001, but was red-carpet gorgeous for the event in a Jovani gown and styled by Paul Thompson IV for the ceremony. Legend has it that the “One Life to Live” style-monger took destiny into her own hands by pursuing a variety of looks for the cast. “Soap opera hair tends to be conservative,” Kardel says, “but sometimes we get to be super creative for fantasy or dream segments. Once we made wigs for a drag queen show, and we’ve done period hair from the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s — that’s the kind of thing that gets us notice and nominated for Emmys. I love when I get to do something really out-of-the-box like that or make a big change on one of the actors.” “It’s exciting to turn on the TV and see your work on the screen,” she says, “and the show is fun. Depending on the day, I work with 10 to 20 actors, and we have to move fast, cutting, coloring and styling their hair, or taking a wig that’s not the right color and making it work. We don’t finish until everything’s done, and sometimes that’s midnight.” Kardel is used to long hours and jet lag because she also travels worldwide for Sexy Hair and puts in hours at Classique Salon & Spa in Staten Island, NY as well. “When I was in beauty school, I didn’t know what I could do as a hairdresser. I thought you were behind the chair and that’s it. Sexy Hair taught me that the sky’s the limit. I tell my students to chase after their dreams… that’s what I did — literally.” |
