When she first broke onto the music scene back in 2008, Perry was known for her signature black locks.
Back in 2018, Perry’s longtime colorist Rick Henry of Nine Zero One Salon in L.A.opened up to PEOPLEabout the change he saw in the pop songstress when she chopped her hair into a short platinum pixie cut.
“She definitely felt like a strong powerful woman,” he told PEOPLE exclusively of theAmerican Idoljudge’s reaction to her shorter locks at the time. “It is very scary for a woman to cut off her hair. And once you do, it is liberating. You feel amazing and powerful. It is almost like you’ve transformed into this sexy woman.”
That same year, Perrytold PEOPLEthat cutting her hair also pushed her to change her makeup routine.
“The short hair obviously really puts your face at the forefront — there’s nothing to hide behind!” she said. “I focus on clean, beautiful skin, and then a statement eye or a statement lip.”
