Bridgett H.

Aspiring to inspiring has become the life story of Bridgett H. Bridgett is a true example that being a product of your environment is no excuse for change not to exist. Limits are only the ones you allow to hold you back. Bridgett was raised by her grandmother due to the fact that both her mother and father were dope feins. Life is definitely what you make it, “my life was not rough, but it certainly wasn’t easy”.

After her grandmother was diagnosed with cancer, Bridgett moved into the Bon Ton Turner Courts/projects with her mother. This made her feel really grateful because she was now surrounded by other children who were going through the same thing with their parents, so she didn’t feel so alone. Still she wasn’t in the best situation, but she continued to make the best out of it.

Around this time Bridgett realized that she had a passion for styling hair. Skyline High School had the best cosmetology program in Dallas, but because Bridgett did not have the grades she was not able to attend the school. This would not deter her from her dreams as soon as she graduated from high school she enrolled into beauty school. This proved that Bridgett had the passion for a greater life. As you cross one hurdle, there is always a few more to get over, Bridgett became pregnant and at the same time she lost her father to murder. Because of his relevance in the drug community Bridgett and her mother feared their lives, so they relocated to Duncanville, TX. This took Bridgett to an all new level in her life, she realized that time was of the essences and if she wanted something she had to seriously work for it now.

In 1996 she had the opportunity to meet the teacher of Spud Beauty Salon, where she was later employed. This environment was a true test to see if Bridgett could adapt to her new surroundings. The salon brought a sense of class that she had not been surrounded by, but the people in the salon did not judge her. Ms. Brenda an employee of the salon took Bridgett under her wing and simply talked to her and explained the appearance that was expected and helped her to grow as an individual. Bridgett would work there for 2 ½ yrs.

After leaving Spud beauty Salon Bridgett was introduced to a guy name Patrick who became her educational trainer in the industry. From this she had the chance to travel all around the United States to conferences that would help better her as a stylist. One day in 2006, once she had returned back to Dallas she was walking out of a Sally’s store and she seen a tall guy walking and approached him and gave him a business card. Little did she know that this was upcoming video director Boomtown. 15 min later after their introduction he gave her a call and offered a gig to style on his video shoot with UGK (Pimp C and Bun B), along with Mike Jones. Now at the time Bridgett was not completely ready as a stylist, but it was an opportunity to learn and something that she just could not pass up. A few months later after not really hearing much from Boomtown she contacted him, and once again he had a job for her and this time she would show up and show out. Those opportunities with Boomtown are the ones that offered a tremendous amount of on hand experience. Not to mention that she had the opportunity to work closely with celebrities. Ever since then Bridgett has been continuously making a name for herself.

Now the proud owner of Artistry Bar Professional Hair stylist/Make-up artist, it’s now time to start “setting trends for the future”. As a Stylist Bridgett’s inspiration is everything color, from the pop of a lip color to a streak of color in your hair. Bridgett’s ultimate goal in styling is for each client to walk into a room and to become center of attention just by their presence. She offers the complete package of image consulting; and can take you from 0-100%.

She has now had the privilege to style acts such as: Angela and Vanessa Simmons, Mya, Keyshia Dior, Rosa Acosta, Rocsi (106&Park), Porsha Coleman…and many more! For Bridgett the journey has just begun. She is proud to say that she has closed the door of the past and opened a new and fresh door to the future, her children. Bridgett is thrilled that her children will never has to suffer like she had to growing up, and they have great opportunities to look forward to because of the door she has opened for them.

This Determined, Outspoken, but yet humbled Wonder Woman has continuously proven that anything is possible if you stay persistent and Praise God. Bridgett is now balancing out being a parent and business owner. In the meantime Bridgett is looking for foundations to become a part of, while in Atlanta, GA a little girl approached Bridget and said, “I want to be a make-up artist” and right there on the spot Bridgett offered her the opportunity to help out on a set that she was working on. These are the things that Bridgett lives for, a chance to inspire those who can appreciate her craft as a Hair Stylist and Make-Up Artist. This is an Artistry that stands out like no other.
