My guest this week is Tinisha Meeks, Department Head of Hair on Grownish. Tinisha’s credits also include Scandal and Blackish.
As a kid, Tinisha had Cabbage Patch dolls, and she used to braid their hair. In fact, a local doll maker even paid her to braid doll hair! From then on, Tinisha decided that she wanted to do hair. She went to cosmetology school while going to high school, and she graduated from both at the same time! She trained at a couple popular salons before transitioning to film & television.
In this episode, Tinisha and I talk about how shows like Blackish and Grownish have revolutionized television by showcasing African-American hair, product sourcing, character building, and the one thing she can’t live without!
Tune in to learn more about:
+ Making the script come to life, even with budget and time restrictions
+ Product placement and sales that happen on set
+ How social media has changed the industry
+ How to push yourself out of your beauty and style comfort zones
