Elvis Kept His Mother’s Hairdresser
Taking care of Elvis’s iconic hairstyle was a big responsibility with which he trusted none other than his beloved mother’s hairdresser. The hairdresser, Homer Gilleland, was even given an airline pass so that he could fly to wherever his client was at a moment’s notice.
In this way, Elvis kept his appearance impeccable for his performances. Rumor has it that Homer saved some of the tresses he cut, which wouldn’t surprise us at all. Jars of Elvis’s mane trimmings have sold for over $20,000 at auctions. Some fans will take anything they can get.
