Just where will Michelle Obama \u201cget her hair did\u201d while living in the White House?<\/a> Hair stylists in the Washington D.C. area are already angling to secure the soon-to-be First Lady as a client, reports the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\u201cI\u2019m going to be doing her hair!\u201d says positive thinker Barry Fletcher, the 52-year-old owner of The Hair Palace Salon in Mitchellville, Md. He cites his experience in international hairstyling challenges and working with actress Halle Berry and singer Mya, a D.C. native.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\u201cThis would pretty much validate all of my hard work and effort to get to a level where I could handle a powerful queen like the First Lady,\u201d added Fletcher, who sent Michelle Obama a 17-minute DVD about himself.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Hairdresser Keith Harley of Keith Harley Hair & Scalp Clinic in Arlington, Va. uploaded his resume to President-elect Barack Obama\u2019s Web site a month ago.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\u201cIt would be the highlight of my career. It would be an honor,\u201d said 39-year-old Harley, who styles Black Entertainment Television chief executive Debra Lee. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Nicole Cober-Blake, the 37-year-old lawyer-turned-owner of D.C.\u2019s Soul Day Spa and Salon, plans to get her name in the mix by sending Michelle Obama a welcome basket with bath gels, hair products and a robe. Cober-Blake said she\u2019s excited about the possibility of having Obama experience the services at Soul, where she said they \u201ctreat everyone like a Michelle Obama.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span>For election night, Michael \u201cRahni\u201d Flowers of Van Cleef Hair Studio in Chicago \u2014 Obama\u2019s stylist since she was 18 \u2014 did her hair. And for the Democratic National Convention, Obama turned to Chicago-native Johnny Wright of Frederic Fekkai\u2019s Los Angeles salon.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\u201cThe thing about being the first lady, you\u2019re only as fashionable as your last picture,\u201d said Dennis Roche, 58, of D.C.\u2019s Roche Salon, which has African-American-hair experts he said could style Obama. \u201cThis is kind of risky because of the fact that we all have bad hair days.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
