Derek J, the Atlanta based celebrity hairstylist (Real Housewives of Atlanta among others) and spokesperson for Brazilian Heat, is also a superstar to his many fans in the salon world. I am also a HUGE fan of Derek J. Although he is known for his signature heels and fashion, I know him best for his incredible hairdressing and finishing talent.

I caught up with him at the Premiere Show in Orlando, Florida, where he was offering his styling techniques on the Brazilian Heat stage. He granted a mini interview on the floor of the show and managed to throw in a little branding advice as well.
