Creating the hairdos in Steel Magnolias
Our Steel Magnolia actresses had the help of Hailey Nagel who taught the actors how to fix their hair in a late 80’s style as well as giving Truvy and Annelle a crash course in beautician science. Michael Varnadore and the staff at Stuart Laurence Salon spent hours making sure the hair colors matched the wig pieces used, as well as provided styling. Only her hairdresser knows for sure which Magnolia’s hair had a make-over and whose hair is natural. The ladies know, but mum’s the word.
Also special thanks to the Stuart Lawrence and Bellezza Salons for use of two styling chairs.
Barbara Young, Costumer for Steel Magnolias.
