Giuseppe Franco

MICKEY ROURKE: THAT’S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR

Mickey Rourke and hairdresser Giuseppe Franco have been friends for decades – in fact Mickey helped Franco get celebrity clients when he was starting out in Beverly Hills. For the past few years, however, Mickey has been experimenting with wigs in various colors with limited success. For some reason Giuseppe doesn’t step in and improve Mickey’s hairpieces, but maybe that’s why they’re still friends…Mickey and Giuseppe hang out at Mulberry Street Pizzeria in Beverly Hills – Mickey likes to read the New York Post there.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Giuseppe Franco Hairdresser

COLOR CHALLENGED: ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER AND HIS HAIRDRESSER

Former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is living like a single guy- he drove his military green Hummer (it runs on eco-friendly vegetable oil) to visit his buddy, hairdresser Giuseppe Franco in Beverly Hills. Franco has been responsible for Arnold’s hair for almost 30 years – Arnold comes to the salon twice a month for color and hair treatments etc . Giuseppe also travels with Schwarzenegger when necessary. It’s nice that Arnold is loyal to his old friends, but Giuseppe is no genius when it comes to natural looking color – for himself OR Arnold. Franco’s hair is shoe polish black, and Arnold’s is faintly orange.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Giuseppe Franco Hair! Patrick Schwarzenegger

HEY ARNOLD, TIME FOR A TALK WITH YOUR HAIRDRESSER

#arnoldschwarzenegger #patrickschwarzenegger #janetcharlton

We don’t know who to blame for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s new look, but we don’t like it. Arnold is sporting a grey beard in contrast with his obviously dyed brown hair. We’re thinking it’s time for his hairdresser Giuseppe Franco to step up and tell Arnold this is not a natural look. A man his age should have some grey in his hair. Franco told us the beard is for a movie Arnold is doing – so fortunately, it’s not permanent. If he ends up being single, Arnold will want to look his best. He was photographed having lunch with his handsome son Patrick.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER WANTS HIS OLD LIFE BACK

Arnold Schwarzenegger hasn’t changed his habits all that much since the housekeeper’s baby scandal broke up his marriage. He and his son Patrick spent time shopping in Barneys and had lunch upstairs. He left alone and went to Giuseppe Franco for a haircut and they had coffee at Caffe Roma. Afterward Arnold and his male companion drove down to Ralph Lauren where he enjoyed more retail therapy. Typical Saturday. Arnold had hoped to ditch the bodyguards when he left office, but found that he still needs at least one.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is loyal to his old friends. And no one’s happier about that than his hairdresser of over twenty years, Giuseppe Franco. Giuseppe’s shop was buried behind Cafe Roma on Canon Drive for years, and now he’s moved up to the choice location facing the street with his chairs in huge windows – although why anyone would want to sit in the window with foil on their head is a mystery. Arnold certainly gets his hair done in a very private room somewhere in the back. And despite comments about Arnold’s slightly unnatural hair color, Giuseppe remains a close friend. The Guv didn’t forget his pal’s birthday – he brought him an autographed photo of them together inscribed “to my best looking friend.” Sweet.

Here’s Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger strolling in Beverly Hills, – he has an eclectic group of friends, including Giuseppe “Born to be Wild” Franco, on the left. Does anyone remember Giuseppe’s haircutting TV infomercials featuring him on a motorcycle? He’s been doing Arnold’s hair for at least 25 years. We have to admire Arnold, who has always been loyal to his old friends and associates, but we’ve never been overly fond of Giuseppe’s hair coloring technique for men.
