And I am sitting here with Dior Saboa. Please tell our readers about your background. Where are you from and who have you styled?&nbsp;<br><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JcH22ONEGXI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br><strong>Dior:&nbsp;<\/strong>So, I&#8217;m originally from DC, but I moved to New York six years ago and in those six years I have built my career to be a celebrity stylist, of course by working hard, you know. So, one of my biggest clients is the Christmas Queen Mariah Carey. And then under her, I would say Donna Brazil, Patti LaBelle, Cicely Tyson, you know, all the major celebrity. I would say they have grace under these hands. These hands are anointed by now.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br><strong>AMPS (Deona):&nbsp;<\/strong>So, we are in special company right now. Okay. So please tell us what does it takes to be a celebrity stylist?&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Dior:&nbsp;<\/strong>To be a celebrity stylist, it takes your ego out the way. It&#8217;s not about you. It&#8217;s about the celebrity. And I see it&#8217;s a lot of these new stylists, they get it wrong. They think it&#8217;s about them. It&#8217;s not about you. It&#8217;s about the celebrity at this point in time, so give it your all. Go for it. It takes time, time, time, time. There&#8217;s going to be many of those people you&#8217;re going to get before you get to that one. Yes. That&#8217;s going to change your life. It&#8217;s been plenty of times that people told me I wasn&#8217;t good enough. Did you think I let that stop me? No. I kept it going and let them know Dior isn\u2019t going no-where.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>AMPS (Deona):<\/strong> Okay. Confidence is what&#8217;s required.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3618 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image2-291x300.jpeg?resize=291%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"291\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image2.jpeg?resize=291%2C300&amp;ssl=1 291w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image2.jpeg?resize=768%2C792&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image2.jpeg?resize=993%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 993w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image2.jpeg?resize=696%2C717&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image2.jpeg?resize=1068%2C1101&amp;ssl=1 1068w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image2.jpeg?resize=407%2C420&amp;ssl=1 407w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image2.jpeg?w=1072&amp;ssl=1 1072w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 291px) 100vw, 291px\" \/>Dior:<\/strong>&nbsp;Exactly. Require confidence in yourself, confidence in yourself. Yeah. Don&#8217;t let nobody steal you from your prayer.&nbsp;<br><br>AMPS (Deona):&nbsp;Yeah. So, who would you like to style that you haven&#8217;t styled?&nbsp;<br>Dior:&nbsp;Ooh, where did you go after you style the Christmas queen? Like where do you go? I would say no. I love touching every celebrity. Anybody that I can put my hands on and show what God&#8217;s gift that I have and can get them under my belt to understand that hair care, I&#8217;m about haircare. Like that&#8217;s my main thing. So, I always wanted my celebrities to know that your hair is going to be taken care of. So, if I can get any celebrity under my belt, I&#8217;m happy about that, like I love doing everybody. I don&#8217;t think anybody is above anybody.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>AMPS (Deona):<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Okay. So, leaves me into a good Segway. What is your specialty? What is the trend that is going on right now? What&#8217;s your vision for 2020? <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3617 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image2-1-e1584054356248-225x300.jpeg?resize=225%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image2-1-e1584054356248.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image2-1-e1584054356248.jpeg?w=240&amp;ssl=1 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dior<\/strong><strong>:&nbsp;<\/strong>My vision for 2020 is more natural hair. I see that it&#8217;s starting to take over a little bit more, but I want to see some different natural hair trends.&nbsp;My biggest thing that I am known for is the texture waves. Everybody knows that when you see my waves walk down the street. Oh, Dior did those. That&#8217;s my look.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>AMPS (Deona):<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Okay, okay, I might have to sit in his chair.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dior<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>&nbsp;Oh, y&#8217;all don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m going to slay her? Oh, we are going to play some of these games. Okay.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>AMPS (Deona):<\/strong>&nbsp;Okay. So, what goals do you have for yourself? Where do you see yourself achieving in 2020?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dior<\/strong><strong>:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;2020? I see myself talking to more of the youth. Um, I definitely want to educate hairstylists on what it takes to deal with celebrities and how to deal with them and to keep going because I see so many kids get stirred away because they think that they&#8217;re not doing a good job and they think they&#8217;re not good enough. And I just want to tell them that you are good enough; like I want to be that role model for those people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>AMPS (Deona): <\/strong>How can someone stay relevant with the trends?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dior<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;Definitely you want to&#8230; this is where social media does come into play. You want to see what is trending by following other celebrity stylist and see what they&#8217;re doing. But I also say create your own trends because you never know. Something I always learned from one of my glam arts is that trends are reoccurring, so you never know what&#8217;s going to come about. So, keep your eyes focused and keep your eyes open to see and make sure that you&#8217;re doing what you&#8217;re supposed to do as a celebrity stylist or as a regular hairstylist. Just know that you need to read up. Always pick up magazines. Guys: always pick up magazines and always read, always read, and, if your hairstyle is state educated by keeping your cosmetology book recurrent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>AMPS (Deona):&nbsp;<\/strong>Okay.&nbsp;Okay, so I understand this is your first time at the Bronner Brothers hair show with the Brown hair experience. <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3616 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image1-300x300.jpeg?resize=263%2C263\" alt=\"\" width=\"263\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image1.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image1.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image1.jpeg?w=320&amp;ssl=1 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 263px) 100vw, 263px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dior<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>&nbsp;It&#8217;s a whole different experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>AMPS (Deona):&nbsp;<\/strong>Yes, Please, please tell the audience the difference between the other hair shows you&#8217;ve attended versus this hair show.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dior<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>&nbsp;At Bronner Bros, I get to see so much of my culture and the creativeness of my peers and not only that, I get to see union hairstylists here that are making a name for their self in the film and TV industry. You don&#8217;t really get to see that many people of color at other places, that&#8217;s in the union because it&#8217;s a hard place for us to get into. So, I&#8217;m excited to see what&#8217;s going on here. I see so many different colors, so many flips, so many bright pink, blue eye shadows, everything you see so much creativeness from our people and I&#8217;m so excited to be here about that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>AMPS (Deona):<\/strong>&nbsp;Okay. Okay. So currently, where are you located?
