Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I so enjoy working with new clients helping them look and feel their very best. I find it important to get to know the client. First I ask what a client likes and doesn't like about their hair and makeup. Second, I ask how long the client truly wants to spend on doing their hair and makeup. This will help me pin down the the perfect haircut and color; as well as the amount of makeup they prefer.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Many of the most powerful men and women in politics, business, entertainment, and sports have called on Christian Iles to prepare them for their biggest national interviews, events and performances. Such notables as Mike Modano, Mark Cuban, Ambassador Nancy Brinker, Cindy Brinker Simmons, Former First Lady. Laura Bush, Former Sec. of State, Condoleezza Rice, LeAnn Rimes, Star Jones, Patricia Cornwell, Trish McEvoy, and Liz Smith used Iles' services. Who wouldn't want to sit in the chair of the man who tamed Janice Dickinson for her close up on E! Television interview or who coiffed the fiery tresses of Naomi Judd and contoured her infamous eyes and cheekbones? Iles prides himself on his southern hospitality and the fact he treats all his clients as good as a friend. There is no limits to the lengths he will go to brighten their day, uplift their spirits and their look. He goes to events and travels with his clients maintaining their look, and more importantly, keeps them lauphing. Christian's keen style awareness comes from his experiences beyond the chair.
