When people really want to pull of a good Michael Jackson impersonation,
it's about more than the moves. The look is just as critical. It's
about the outfit, the white glove, the hat, and most important, the
hair. Jackson's preferred permanent wave, which he wore during the 80's
and is known as the Care Free Curl, was done for a decade by Los Angeles
cosmetologist Lottie Rose. Being the true Virgo that he was, Michael
always made certain that his hair and appearance were near perfect. Rose
became so noted for her work with Michael that Jackson brothers Marlon
and Randy also had her style their curls. Even singer Rockwell, otown
founder Berry Gordy's son who recorded the song, "Someone's Watching Me"
with Michael, had her work magic an his mane, too.
ON FIRST MEETING MICHAEL JACKSON: It was in August 1981. He was
turning 23 the next day. He had a performance in Pasadena, Calif., and
wanted to look good. At the time, I had my own salon, The Beauty Parlor,
in Torrence, Calif. I put up a partition so those in the salon could
not see him. He walked in and took off his little beanie. I examined his
hair and his scalp. I asked when he had his last permanent. It had been
a long time since his last curl. His hair was kind of matted. He was
very quiet. He didn't ask a lot of questions. I received "yes" and "no"
answers when I asked questions. The partition was up so that he could
have his privacy, although he was constantly trying to look over the
partition to see who was looking at him.
ON HIS FAMOUS HAIRLINE: That was his idea to create the little
hairline that was laying down flat and smooth with the wave. We would
fight about it. It wasn't [to] my liking. When I would finish his hair,
he would get up and comb it into place. He would also pull strands down
where he wanted them placed. He became that comfortable where he would
let me know what he wanted.
ON THE PEPSI ACCIDENT WHERE HIS HAIR CAUGHT FIRE: I was summoned
by a doctor to come and assist him in evaluating the damage that had
been done to Michael's hair. For a while, I traveled with him for some
of his engagements. We had a little hairpiece apparatus to cover that
area until it healed enough for him to be comfortable with his real
hair. [The fire] burned an area in the top of [Michael's] head. Between
the doctor and me, we kind of worked with it until we got it going
again. For several years after that he kept getting the permanent wave.
ON WORKING FOR HIM: He was a fun-loving person who treated me
more or less as a friend. When I traveled with him, he made sure I would
come and meet anyone who was around. The places we would go--every
dinner or performance--he made certain that I attended with him. He
wanted me to be prepared to go. He would not take me away from home and
leave me in the hotel. I was well accomodated when we traveled. After
the scalp burn, he had meetings in New York. I met Brooke Shields, Liza
Minelli, Yul Brynner and his wife, and I was so honored to meet
Jacqueline Onasis.
ON SHARING HIS HOME: After a year, he would call me, "Miss
LottieClaudie." That was his nickname for me. Around this time he also
asked me to start doing his hair at his parents' Encino home. To follow
safety measures, I encouraged them to put a salon in their home. When he
moved to Neverland, I told him to put a salon there, too. Dealing with
chemicals, I wanted to maintain safety measures. He would allow me to
bring my daughter with me. She would stay nights and sleep in Michael's
bed. I would be working on him. At Neverland, because the drive was so
long, I would stay and we would have our own little room.
ON BEING PLAYFUL: He liked to play and pity-pat around. He
thought it was funny to work on me. I was doing his hair and he'd be
rubbing my leg. Or there would be something crawling on me and it would
be something he was doing. While I would be doing Michael's hair,
Bubbles would run by in a diaper and slap me on the leg. Michael thought
that was so funny. He said, "He loves you, Lottie." He thought it was
funny for Bubbles to entertain me. Once in a while Michael would grab my
hand and say, "Let's swing out a little bit." We would dance. He would
hum something and we would dance.
ON THE MICHAEL SHE KNEW: He was very kind and nice. How do you
keep yourself in the media? They don't want to hear anything good. You
gotta let them say something bad and it goes on and on. That's how you
keep your name out there. I wonder about some of the things I have heard
and if they were really true. As I've said, when you are real good, no
one wants to hear anything about you. Most people who know him
personally have said the same thing. He was such a giving person. He was
a fine friend. He treated me as if I was a friend to him. I respect
that.
ON WHAT OTHERS THOUGHT ABOUT HIM: He never complained about how he was being accepted by people. I never heard him wimper or complain about that at all.
