On Volume Up by The Tease, we are no strangers to industry legends, and this week is no exception. With a celebrity client roster that includes Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Megan Fox, Hailee Steinfeld, and Madonna, Andrew Fitzsimons is undeniably the best of the best.
From his first full-time job at age 13 working at a hair salon in Ireland, Fitzsimons found his “safe space” and community within the industry. His determination and creativity have propelled him from his early days in New York to styling top celebrities and launching a successful product line, solidifying his influence in the beauty industry.
Fitzsimons created his brand with a clear vision to bring a refreshing perspective to the beauty industry while honoring the experiences of women.
“I wanted to be a male in an industry that is predominately for women and be able to take women’s experience as the very first point before anything is even discussed.”
Alongside his own brand, Fitzsimons has teamed up with other brands such as BELLAMI. Fitzsimons has worked with BELLAMI to create his iconic ponytail extension, “The Ponytail.” In the episode, we learn about the process of choosing BELLAMI as a partner and what he wanted the extensions to really do for individuals’ daily lives. The collection is unique and innovative in the world of clip-in ponytails, designed to make people feel confident and beautiful with the incredible colors and quality we are so used to from BELLAMI.
“I always knew that if I was going to do a collection of hair extensions, I would want it to be with BELLAMI just because if I’m putting my name behind it, I want it to be of quality.”
If you want to connect with Fitzsimons personally and hear more stories beyond what he was able to divulge in our hour-long episode, you are in luck. Fitzsimons spills that he will be one of many BELLAMI PROFESSIONALS attending the much anticipated BELLAMI Showcase at the end of September.
Fitzsimons shares, “Meeting so much of the [BELLAMI] team from all around the country is what I’m looking forward to most.”
