Recently, I had the honor of interviewing my inspiring friend Michael Sparto. Michael is a hair stylist, makeup artist and co-owner of Northside's own Taylor Jameson Hair Design. In my interview with Michael, he earned even more respect from me than ever before. He doesn't simply cut hair or dust on some blush, Michael invests himself wholeheartedly in each client's best interests and makes his best effort to help people feel good about themselves using his artist eye and capable hands. The Taylor Jameson Hair Design staff maintains very high standards with their work. They serve a large demographic of all ages of both male and female.
About halfway through the interview, I found Michael's focus of his work to be quite amazing when asked what his greatest challenge as an artist was. Throughout the interview he mentioned the psychology of the client or person you are working with several times and now was no exception. He response was,
"Distinguishing between art and perfecting something. Makeup is delicate, skin is delicate, and you need a delicate hand. The psychology of the person you are working with is important. You can be working on a model that has a particular view of themselves and they might forget that they are acting as a canvas for the photo shoot. How the person views themselves versus what looks good on paper to the client is key."
I was very impressed at how serious Michael is about the individual's mindset. Personally, it made a lot of sense to me that this is one of the key reasons that he is such a successful artist and business owner. Michael's art is rather unique in the sense that is a part of an individual and must fit to their personality and be cohesive with them as a whole. As I continued to interview Michael, it was evident to me that there is still much to learn about people, being part of the makeup industry and makeup techniques in general.
