gURL: Tell us more about working at the salon. We heard you started when you were 13.
Christian: I worked at Orange Julius in the mall for a summer. I used to see these fabulous divas walking by. They would come get smoothies. I used to think they were so amazing and interesting. The guys were all so cool and the girls were like no one's game and had seven-inch stiletto heels.
I remember one of them used to come every day, and she was like, "Come work with us," and I just went in. I was sitting there talking to her and folding towels and the manager was like, "You can work here if you want," so I started working there and slowly but surely, I totally took charge. I became really bossy and worked there for almost eight years on and off. It was great.
