ABOUT ME

BRANDON CORBITT

JOICO TECHNICAL DIRECTOR

Brandon was born for the beauty world. Beginning at the age of 8, he has been in the hair industry. Since starting in theater over 30 years ago, Brandon has been on the stage and behind the hair chair. Brandon has devoted over 2 decades to being an international hair dresser and educator. Brandon has an intense passion for the hair industry, therefore, immersing himself into almost every aspect of the business from “paying his dues” as an assistant, owning a salon in Pennsylvania, working in salons in Florida and California, and now working in his current home city – fabulous Las Vegas. Brandon’s passion for hairdressing has led him to many career paths over the past 20 years: being a platform artist, educator, trainer, corporate digital education manager, product tester, and master artist for the global brand Joico for the past 13 years.

He continues to inspire, educate, and train hair dressers globally for Joico while working behind the chair. His top accolades include Guinness World Record holder for longest hair education stream, published work in multiple industry publishing’s like behindthechair.com, brand largest digital training, and – the largest accomplishment – doing hair and wigs for Lady Gaga’s “Stupid Love” music video. Brandon doesn’t specialize in just one area of hair but in all facets of hair including but not limited to color corrections, color intensity fantasy, multidimensional reds/violets/ brunettes, extensions, wigs, blonding, cutting, and styling for all genders. In his down town, he loves to cook from scratch and show his love through food to friends and family, travel the world experiencing different cultures and experiences, and continue adding to his massive Lego collection. One of the biggest loves of his life is his pittbull Dexter. Brandon continues to grow and learn from the incredible artists the hair industry has while sharing his heart and soul and knowledge he has for the beauty industry and Joico. ~ “As hair dressers, we touch more hearts than hair.

HOW WOULD YOU BEST DESCRIBE THE TECHNIQUES OR SERVICES THAT YOU SPECIALIZE IN AND ARE BEST KNOWN FOR?

I’m best known for reds, texture and color corrections. I absolutely love creating texture and is the reason I stayed in hair at 8 years old. My reds and color corrections are what I’m best known for. Reds are fierce and have their own attitude—red is a statement!

HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY AWARDS, ACCOLADES, OR SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGMENTS IN THE INDUSTRY? IF SO, LIST THEM HERE.

I’m in the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest continuous nonstop live education event that happened in 2020.

ONE PRO TIP EVERY STYLIST SHOULD KNOW

Color fearlessly; not out of fear! Trust the formula and trust the process.

CAREER HIGHLIGHT OR PROUDEST MOMENT

One of my top career highlights was doing hair on set for the music video for Lady Gaga’s Stupid Love. It was an incredible honor to be a part of the hair team for that. Meeting her, working with Freddie and taking care of the dancers (who I still take care of and am friends with) has been a top highlight. The proudest moments are seeing other educators I have trained reach their goals and dreams and being a part of their journey. It’s a complete honor and something I don’t take for granted. It’s a privilege to be a trainer and leader.

IF YOU WEREN’T A HAIRSTYLIST, WHAT WOULD YOU BE?

A forensics pathologist or marine biologist. I love science and animals. Figuring out the puzzle of a crime scene or being in the ocean helping the planet are two things I’m obsessed with.

ONE PLACE IN THE WORLD YOU’D LOVE TO DO HAIR FOR A DAY

I would love to do hair on set for a fantasy movie on location. Creating wigs for a fantasy feature film would be a dream.
