BSG Interview with Nekisa

The lovely Nekisa answered a few questions for BSG. A couple of them might just surprise you.

BSG: How did you feel being in the bottom 2 or 3 so often during the competition? Was it discouraging?

NB: I was shocked to be in the bottom because it's an unfamiliar place for me. I do realize that the show was just a "game" and not based on real salon scenarios. Even so, looking back I would have liked to have been more relaxed and allow my talents to shine through.

BSG: Did Charlie pick on you as much as the editing made it seem?

NB: Charlie and I wanted to make it on the "Soup". I LOVE Joel McHale! But as far as Charlie and his comments about my anatomy go, his breasts are just as big as mine!

BSG Love to Nekisa

Nekisa, the judges were not happy with the way you styled your client's hair and thought that it did not match that of the client's pup. It's been a long seven weeks for you, and you certainly deserve a lot of credit for your perseverance.

Note: Only positive comments on this post, please! Any other thoughts belong in our Reactions post here.

Nekisa’s dream of being a hairstylist was realized at a young age, and she attended beauty school while still in high school and graduated from the International Beauty Academy at the age of 18. She worked as a stylist at various salons in the Bay Area before taking a position at KellyAnn’s Salon and Day Spa in Pleasant Hill, CA where she worked her way up to Master Stylist.
