    Styling celebrities takes a special kind of person with just the right temperment. It's exciting and stressful all at once, and it's not for everyone. It requires more than just the ability to buy great clothes. Qualities of a good stylist include diplomacy, graciouness, and business acumen. Oh, and a degree in psychology is a plus. ENJOY!

Celebrity Hair Stylist Darico Jackson Gets a Little Help From His Friends

Darico_and_friends

When it came time for Celebrity Hair Stylist Darico Jackson to create a new comp card to market himself, he knew he needed something special. So instead of going the regular route of thumbing through his portfolio to find the right images, he decided to ask for a little help from his friends.

Within a couple of days Darico had managed to do what most magazines can't, get 3 hot celebrities, and one hot celebrity photographer together in the same room for 3 hours to produce a photo shoot for the express purpose of––helping out a friend who wanted to do something a little different.

Tasha Smith, breakout star of "Why Did I Get Married" and Daddy's Little Girls; Michael Ealy, of the hit movie Barbershop, and network TV show Sleeper Cell; and Johawrah Jones of Ugly Betty, all showed up at the studio of celebrity photographer John Russo for a day of fun and photos.

It was a pleasant surprise when Monarch Magazine publisher Will Walters agreed to publish the photos in and on the cover of the Summer 2007 issue.Darico_monarch_001
