Celebrity hairstylist and longtime Mathis family friend Lawrence “Ray” Parker II joins the family for a conversation that goes far beyond hair.
Ray shares how he went from studying music at Hampton University to working with major names like 50 Cent, Olivia and Naomi Campbell, and how one unexpected salon client helped open the door to Hollywood. He also gets candid about trust between stylists and clients, being taken advantage of in the entertainment industry, and why he believes “the chair is sacred.”
Plus, Ray breaks down changing hair trends, reveals the secret behind his own hair, and explains how he turned years behind the chair into his own product line and plans for a manufacturing plant in Atlanta.
Then the family pitches Ray their own billion-dollar hair ideas to see which one he thinks could actually work.
