How did Diana Schmidtke make it to...

Posted at 2:37 PM • No Comments

For the past 10 years, freelance hairstylist Diana Schmidtke has been responsible for making sure some of our favorite Hollywood guys — including Vin Diesel, George Clooney, Taylor Lautner, Jon Hamm and Ashton Kutcher — look their best on their big days.

Diana Schmidtke is highly regarded for her work in the hair industry among celebrity A-list talent. She brings the glamour and mystique of celebrity hairstyling to you in a down-to-earth, step-by-step manual. Her thinking? “If I can do it, so can you!”

So how did Diana Schmidtke make it to the top?

Her secret of success comprises of hard work, patience and persistence. After her High School, Diana attended Pivot Point International Beauty School and, upon graduation, she worked at Chicago’s Trio Hair Salon where she trained under Phillip Palmeri, a former head colorist at Vidal Sassoon.

After her training at Trio, Diana moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in freelance grooming. Since then Diana has styled clients on film sets and photo shoots, and her work has been featured in Esquire, Men’s Journal, Vogue, GQ, New York Times, W Magazine, and InStyle. Her expertise and popularity is a benchmark for new stylists and proves that there is no substitute for hard work.

Diana Schmidtke was featured on the Cutting Edge Hair Show where she shared valuable tips for becoming a Freelance stylist. In another episode, she had also interviewed Kirby Morris from the National-Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology.

Diana is regularly featured on TV shows where she provides her expert advice on men’s grooming. She has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey show sharing “6 Steps to a Great Shave.” She was also seen on a special Father’s Day episode on the Today Show where she gave two deserving fathers new and much-needed looks.

Diana has also authored a book – SHORTCUTS, offering tips and advice for artists interested in breaking into the business. The book can be purchased by visiting – www.shortcutsthebook.com but you will have to hurry to buy it since the book is on sale for a “limited time only.” Buying “Shortcuts” is your first step to your new, amazing and lucrative career.

Her knowledge and experience in this field is vast and she often travels to various beauty schools as an educator in cosmetology. SHORTCUTS is a very inspirational book and so are the classes she teaches at cosmetology schools which are interactive in nature and provide all the tools to make you an expert and top resource in this exciting arena.
