Lady Gaga honors Frederic Aspiras

In March 2019, Frederic was honored with the Hair Artist of the Year award. Lady Gaga was there to present him with this prestigious award. Gaga said:

“I’ve been through many highs and lows, consistently throughout my career, and Freddie has been there for it all. [He] has picked me up off the floor and told me I’m strong, I can persevere, more times than I could ever count. If I was on the floor, he was right there with me.”

She added:

“Even saying his full name, as the rockstar he’s become, I find myself thinking, ‘No, he’s not just in my eyes, the greatest hair artist in the world, he’s the brother I never had,’”

Frederic Aspiras and his family and childhood days

Frederic was born on 13 July but the year of birth is not known. He had hair in his roots….his mother was a hairdresser. She had migrated from Vietnam to the USA in the mid-1970s. Frederic said:

“I grew up in hair salons my whole life. She owned her own business in San Francisco and was a good role model. She’s very independent and strong, with a great business mind. As a kid, I actually didn’t want to do hair — I grew up wanting to do theater. I was a child actor in local plays.”

He used to assist his mother in the salon after school and did hair washing and roller setting. He thus learned many of the skills of hair-doing from his mother even though he was not keen initially to take it up as a career.

Frederic Aspiras and his career start and its advancement

Frederic started with photo shoots when he was 20. He did not know about any opportunities outside the salon but his life changed when he met Kevyn Aucoin at a book signing at Rizzoli in San Francisco. Recalling those days, Frederic said:

“He spent 15 minutes talking to me about my career goals and my family. He was open about everything and very encouraging.”

Talking about his initial career, this is what Frederic has to say:

“I had done a lot of commercial work in San Francisco, and I had a friend who lived in L.A. and worked in film. I came here in 2003 with about $1,000 to take a risk and just do it. But I was really afraid of taking the leap. I didn’t know anyone here, and I had to go back to working retail because I was basically homeless. Hence I lived in a hotel in Downtown L.A. because I was too ashamed to go back home. I didn’t want to look like I had failed. Nothing happened for three months. Eventually, I started meeting photographers and other hairstylists. It took about four or five years before I started getting paid gigs. I had no option but to be here. I tell my younger fans or people starting out that you have to give it all you’ve got and know that even if you fail, you keep trying. Those experiences of failure taught me a lot about what I know today and made me stronger.”
