Oscar James, CLEAR SCALP & HAIR THERAPY Celebrity Stylist was the hair visionary behind Elle Varner‘s sleek look for The Grammy Awards which was inspired by the 70s. “This was Elle’s first time attending the award show and she is a nominated artist so we really wanted to do something different than her usual style,” said […]

Elle Varner is the kinda of girl you totally obsess over. She’s got a pretty awesome set of pipes, a quirky fearless sense of style, and a very crush-worthy head of hair. I got a chance to chat with the Grammy-nominated singer and she dished about her upcoming journey for music’s biggest night, how she styles […]
