Ross

Ross Byron is a 30-something guitarist in a rock band. What he doesn't seem to realize is that his slender, young rocker frame now has a 36-inch waist, and his former flowing blonde locks are now severely thinning and balding. Stacy and Clinton need to bring Ross into the 21st century by getting him out of his acid-wash jeans and gold chains and into a more mature, yet stylish look. As for his hair, Nick Arrojo must persuade Ross that less is more (Hair loss is better disguised with a shorter style!), and when he meets makeup artist Carmindy, Ross is in for a close shave.
