WASHINGTON--First Lady Michelle Obama tapped Johnny Wright to be her exclusive hair dresser, the Washington Post reports Thursday in a Style section front headlined "He Dresses Michelle's Tresses."
The subhead: "Chicagoan shapes First Lady's hair--and keeps the details to himself."
Wright grew up on Edbrooke Ave. on the South Side and a few years ago moved to Los Angeles. He coifed Mrs. Obama during the campaign and moved to Washington a few weeks ago.

Of course, she would want to give this job to someone who does her hair well and it is certainly a feather in his cap. His popularity will now zoom out of sight.
Johnny's is already a popular hair dresser. His claim to fame came as Lisa Raye's (actress) hair dresser. He also was the hair dresser for Tamran Hall (Fox News- now on MSNBC). He has done Nia Long, Anita Baker and several other before the first lady. He is a household buzz here in Chicago. She knew who to pick, now her popularity will zoo out of site because he was popular already with the stars before her.
