Kate and Jeanette weren't the only ones to undergo big changes in their appearance over the course of the three years. Mallory, who started out with "bottle-blond-color hair" with a few pink highlights mixed in, trades it for a sleeker, edgier look by the end. "In '95, she breaks out, cuts her hair into some bangs. She uses a flat iron," Kirkpatrick said. His inspiration was Courtney Love, a former client. "I had a hair piece of Courtney's in my kit that I used on her years ago, a toupee, and put it on Mallory and turned it into her grunge look."
Vince, the other best friend of Jeanette and Mallory, got to try three looks over the course of the show as well. In the first year, he has his natural afro, the second year he wears his hair in twists, and the third year he has locs.
"Those were masterfully created by Mia Atkins, who is one of my hairstylists," Kirkpatrick said. "I asked her to make hair locs for him and it took her about a week and a half to do." Those hair pieces allowed them to transition Vince between the three hairstyles for filming in less than an hour. "He also felt like he looked older with the locs, which was exactly what we wanted."
