With an ever flowing request for hair and makeup Gomez-Duplessis supplied glamour and her fabulous personality to all that graced her chair by day, while still catching a few screenings at night. Booked again to groom Robert Redford for hair and makeup on press day is always an honor, Gomez-Duplessis said.
