Men’s Grooming Expert… is a Woman?!

If you are a male celebrity and you need to prep for a photo shoot or for a stroll across the red carpet, who do you turn to?... besides ManPossible, of course!  Well, you could go to one of the most trusted and sought after grooming experts (a profession that only a few elitists have heard of 15 years ago).  

One of these experts is Diana Schmidtke, a Los Angeles based freelance stylist who specializes in men’s grooming, style, and hair care.  A Pivot Point Beauty School graduate, Diana got her start by working at the Chicago’s Trio Hair Salon where she trained under Phillip Palmeri, a former head colorist at Vidal Sassoon.  After her training at Trio, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in freelance grooming and as they say, the rest is history.  

Diana has managed to build an impressive grooming resume and clientele of celebrities, including George Clooney, Robert Pattinson, Jon Hamm, Orlando Bloom, Chris and Liam Hemsworth, Viggo Mortensen, and Matt Damon to name a few.  She’s collaborated with top hair care brands like Paul Mitchell, helping them launch their debut men’s line, MITCH.  She’s been featured in Men’s Journal, GQ, People, InStyle, The New York Times among other very popular style/fashion magazines as well as making appearances on Oprah and The Today Show; she was featured as the go to expert for “man-scaping” and “man makeovers”.  So it’s apparent that Diana knows a thing or two about “male grooming” and undoubtedly takes it to the next level… and she means business; big business.

So how did Diana get so good at her man grooming skills?  In an interview with The NY Times, Diana admitted that she studied the history of shaving and stays current by reading men’s fashion and grooming blogs (perhaps ManPossible?).  Despite the fact that Diana solely works on making already “good looking” guys “better looking”, she mentions that she’s pleased to see companies making more grooming solutions for everyday Joes.  As we’ve mentioned it before, getting a guy (even the one who banks on his image) to change his grooming regimen is almost always an uphill battle.  And it appears that Diana couldn’t agree more, “with guys, you have to keep it simple”.  Another reason why Diana may be so good at what she does when it comes to guy’s grooming skills is perhaps because she’s a, woman!  

If you are wondering what it may cost to receive Diana’s grooming tips… well like the old saying goes, if you have to ask how much, then chances are you can’t afford it.  Of course, you can count on ManPossible to deliver those tips at a much better pricing option.  However, if money is no object, you can email Diana directly at [email protected].  Happy grooming!
