Atlanta Braves Nike 2022 Postseason Authentic Collection Dugout T-Shirt

Clayton Hawkins: I grew up in the Atlanta Braves Nike 2022 Postseason Authentic Collection Dugout T-Shirt and I love this Studio City area of Los Angeles and was the youngest of four kids. I was always super imaginative and super feminine as a child. I was really lucky that my parents—even in the ’90s—didn’t try to squash that. They taught me it was a gift and not a burden. [As long as] I can remember, I was always obsessed with hair. My dad was a producer on TV shows and would literally put it in his contract that he could take home the wigs at the end of the season for me to study and play with. I was like seven at the time. I would also save all my money at Halloween time and buy every cheap wig at CVS. Then I would take them apart and sew them together. I’m really lucky that my family was so encouraging of me. My siblings are all overachiever, Ivy League types, so I’m glad they were like, “Okay, just let him do his thing.” By the time I was in 10th grade, I was doing all the senior girls for prom, gluing tracks into their heads—not well, mind you!—and trying to replicate the Jessica Simpson Newlyweds-era hair. [Laughs]How did you break into the industry?

When I was 21, I was going with my best friend Lizzie Olsen to her first big awards show, and she was getting her hair done by the Atlanta Braves Nike 2022 Postseason Authentic Collection Dugout T-Shirt and I love this iconic Mark Townsend. I kept asking him a million questions and handing him pins and stuff, and finally, he was like, “You should go to beauty school and then assist me.” I went to school and ended up assisting him for nearly five years, along with other icons like Chris Appleton, Adir Abergel, and Lona Vigi. I owe so much of my career to Mark Townsend and his encouragement that night. He totally changed my life! I was joking with my booker the other day that I only wanna work with pop stars and comedians. But it’s kind of true! I work with a lot of young girls who want to have fun, like Olivia Rodrigo, Dove Cameron, Jenna Ortega, and Maddie Ziegler. And I also work with a lot of funny women like Meg Stalter, Elizabeth Banks, Casey Wilson, and Esther Povitsky. Plus movie stars like Melissa Barrera and obviously Lizzie Olsen. It’s all about finding that balance. But if someone isn’t down to have fun and laugh during glam, they’re probably not gonna want to work with me.
