Friday Five with Aliyah Adorno

Stylist

CG: 1.) When did you realize that you wanted to work in the beauty industry. Was there something specific that piqued your interest?

AA: Probably when I was a child. My mother has been doing hair her whole life so I was around the industry whether I liked it or not. She was my inspiration.

CG: 2.) What do you specialize in?

AA: In all honesty I love every aspect of my profession. It keeps it interesting day in and day out. But if I had to choose, I'd say blowouts, styles and updos. It's crazy how you can beautify someone with what they already have. 

CG: 3.) What is your favorite product that Calista Grand carries? Why & how do you like to use it? 

AA: I love the Fix 2 hairspray. It's high speed so it sprays into the hair and not just the surface. Although it's a great holding spray it also gives movement. I can use this spray to set, for a long lasting curl or to finish off a beautiful blowout.

CG: 4.) What has been your best advice that you have given or received from someone else?

AA: "If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them."

CG: 5.) Tell us something completely random about yourself that others may not know.

AA: I can squat 215 lbs :)
