Celebrity Hairstyling, The Met Gala & Latino Representation: Cesar Delon Ramirez

AMAABF Season 1 Episode 55

In this episode, Cesar DeLeon Ramirez shares his journey from growing up in a Puerto Rican household and spending his weekends in a hair salon, to becoming one of the most in-demand celebrity hairstylists in the world.

He reflects on the fearless ambition that led him from assisting in New York salons to his first big break with Cassie, preparing for tours with nothing but a Barnes & Noble crash course in makeup. From the Met Gala, where he once cut a wig with eyebrow scissors, to long-term creative partnerships with Ciara, Beyonce, Jenna Ortega & Karol G, Cesar opens up about what it takes to stay at the top while making history as a Latino artist in pop culture.

Cesar also takes us behind the scenes of his personal life: navigating family secrets, meeting his biological father decades later, and the challenges of coming out to his mother. He speaks candidly about independence, love languages, and dating in the LGBTQ+ community, reflecting on how therapy, trust, and resilience shaped both his career and his relationships.

Alongside these stories, Cesar discusses the importance of representation, the weight of stereotypes, and the joy of using his craft not just for beauty, but as a part of cultural legacy.
