BSG Interview with Parker - Continued

BSG: Do you keep in touch with any of the stylists?

Parker: I talk to Dee every once in a while. She’s right down the street so to speak (Miami). I just saw Charlie and Nekisa when I was in New York a few weeks ago.

BSG: What was the best thing about being on Shear Genius?

Parker: Shear Genius was a fantastic experiment for me. There is nothing quite like being whisked all over the country doing something you love. I met a lot of really amazing people, and a couple very excellent stylists. It was just great.

BSG: Do you watch Real Housewives of Orange County?

Parker: I have. It’s the only housewives show out of the bunch I have watched. Dramatically magical.

BSG: Are you still in touch with Tammy Knickerbocker? (the OC Housewife whose hair he styled)

Parker: I have actually corresponded with Tammy since the show. She was really sorry to see me get cut. One letter she sent me had the flowing quote: ”You were amazing and I would go to your salon any time and would recommend you to my friends “ – Tammy Knickerbocker She’s a beautiful, and amazing woman.

BSG: Looking back, is there something you would have done differently?

Parker: Well in retrospect, I could have been a bit more vocal about my reason for not lightening Tammy’s hair. The color was essentially nothing more than a touch up on her home haircoloring extravaganza. I listened to her desires and concerns, and gave her exactly what she wanted, and what was agreed upon in the consultation. She loved it, and I’m satisfied.

BSG: What does the future hold for Parker?

Parker: While still living in West Palm Beach, Fl., Much of my time is spent preparing for the opening of theDavidkSpace – A Boutique Salon Experience, as the education director. The Space is going to bring a superior New York style Salon experience to a much in need West Palm Beach, FL.
