AN INTERVIEW WITH NATALI MARIE
Written by Jessica Tellez, Hairstylist at Urban Betty
Natali came to Urban Betty in August of 2019. We were all so excited to hear her take on things! She’s been in the industry for a long time and it’s always exciting when we can learn through another person’s perspective. She exudes everything yoga and it’s clear that she loves being outdoors!
CREATING BEAUTIFUL NATURAL LIVED-IN BLONDES
JT: What is your favorite part about doing hair?
NM: The relationships I build, definitely. And a creative outlet. There is nothing more gratifying than seeing that smile and confidence boost when a client leaves the salon.
JT: Is there a specialty you have? What drew you to that?
NM: Natural long blonde hair. Visually, they are the closest to what I like, which is nature. There is so much dimension! They remind me of Summer, sand, and sunshine! All my favorite things.
FASHION COLORS
JT: Is there another “thing” you are excited about, but wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s your “thing”?
NM: Fashion colors. I think they are creative, fun, and unique. My spirit animal is a unicorn, and they remind me so much of them. All unique! So bold!
JT: Are there any classes you’re looking forward to this year? In house, or out?
NM: Lauren Hagen from Redken!
JT: When you were in cosmetology school, is this the sort of hair you thought you’d be doing? Has this always been what you wanted to do?
NM: No, I thought I’d be doing more fashion colors. I had funky, short purples, reds, and darks with blondes. Changing trends!
JT: Is there something you’d like to share with your audience concerning hair that you’d like people to know?
NM: Hair can be your greatest accessory if you’re using the “right products,” spending time on it, and caring for it as though it is your finest silk sheets; needs lots of love!
