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. 

This episode covers: 
Growing up half Italian and food as a love language 
His first Sydney Royal Easter Show baking debut, up against the CWA 
Opening a salon at 28 and the decision to close it a decade later 
Life after the salon: building Academy Privé 
Working with Eva Mendes, Tyra Banks, G Flip and on tour with rising stars 
Teaching the next generation of stylists 
Why he calls social media "a necessary evil" 
AI, soul, and why imperfection is the point 
His dream home: a modern farmhouse with a kitchen garden 
Moving back in with his parents in his 30s 
What makes a home beautiful
