Nice 'n Easy

She's GiGi: everyone's favorite Guardian Girlfriend

The exclusive interview

Tell us, how'd you become a Guardian Girlfriend?: Oh, it was a long process. I am not lying. There were interviews, and my resume—I lied a little bit on my resume—I said I was good with magic. I don't know if you've seen some of my work; I sort of bump into things, but you know, I get there. And I know hair.
Is there training?: Is there training for being a Guardian Girlfriend? Yes! There is! There's, um, the GiGi bootcamp. Um, my favorite part of it was we got matching sweatsuits, but um, no, it's hardcore. You learn all about hair color, dimension, depth. It's serious stuff.
Your favorite part of the job?: My favorite Guardian Girlfriend moments? After getting you your right color? Popping out (snaps and literally pops out, leaving her empty chair) and popping in (we hear her snap, but she doesn't come back) and then I'm back. (here's where she comes back in) And then sometimes I'm not. Because I don't get it right always.
Ever "popped" into the wrong place?: What's the weirdest place I popped up in? Oh my goodness, one time, I popped up during a wedding ceremony and I was like "Ta-da!" and the bride was like "What?" and the groom was like "Who are you?" and I was like "Your hair color's all wrong!" Aha! But I caught the bouquet.
What does the phrase "right color" mean to you?: What does the right hair color mean to me? It's that hair color with the perfect depth and dimension and shine—you know, that color with a little bit of zush.
Do you take action when a woman's color is wrong?: What's the first thing I do when I see a woman with the wrong hair color? I wrestle her to the ground. No, I'm kidding! I say "Don't go outside with that color; let's get your right color!" And I help her. It's what I do, 'cause I'm a Guardian Girlfriend.
Your least favorite hair…ever?: What's the worst hair-tastrophe I've ever seen? Ooh, a hair-tastrophe. I'll tell you what. In the '80s—wall bangs. You know 'em, you saw 'em. Hairspray 'em up, curl the top. Why?
Where should a woman go for hair advice when she's home alone?: Who can you turn to if you're home alone and your color needs help? Go to Clairol.com! We have a live chat that can help you or you can call 1-800-Clairol. It's a snap!
Why do you like Nice 'n Easy?: Why do I like Nice 'n Easy? Because it is so easy to get your right color. There's these three tones; you know, you blend highlights and lowlights and shine. It's such a breeze! And you can do it at home and it's affordable and it beats the leading brand.
Anything you'd never do?: What should a guardian girlfriend never do? Uh, butt in! Are you kidding? We butt in all the time; that's what we do. Like, poof!—here I am; what are you doing with your hair? Stop it!
Favorite 4-letter word?: My favorite four-letter word would be—ooh, hair. Oh! Maybe ta-da. No, zush. No, hair. No, yes.
Any advice for aspiring GiGis?: My advice to aspiring—Guardian Girlfriends? Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear. Hello! Depth perception. Tricky, tricky, tricky.
