Academy Awards
A walk-through of an empty backstage prep room being set up for the 2025 Academy Awards styling work. The camera moves through the room — past a single vanity station with its bulb-lit mirror and a Giovanni Professional glossy black tote sitting on the counter, then wider into the full prep space: paired vanity stations on wheeled stands, scattered director's chairs over patterned carpet, and a mix of wall art. The clip closes on a tight, kit-forward beat — the Giovanni Professional tote on a counter alongside the Giovanni Eco Chic Beauty Scalp Massage Shampoo Brush, and a neat row of styling products (Giovanni Men's Hair Styling Gel, an orange-capped finishing spray, a blue clarifying mist, and assorted smaller bottles) staged on the vanity, ready for the day. A calm, before-call look at the room where the Oscars-day work is about to happen.
A reel from a stylist on the Giovanni Eco Chic Beauty Academy Awards team, with the official "OSCARS" gold emblem overlaid throughout. The piece opens on a tight product shot — Giovanni L.A. Hold Styling Gel, Curl Habit Defining Texturing Spray, and the 2chic line staged together — with title text "bts as a HAIRSTYLIST for the OSCAR'S 2025" and a co-branded "OSCARS × GIOVANNI" lockup. From there it cuts into the work: a stylist detailing a guest's hair at a vanity, working a curling iron through long brown waves, holding up a bottle of Giovanni L.A. Hold Hair Spritz against a model's section pinned with a green clip, and finishing a polished look on another guest in a cream sweater. The reel closes on a warm embrace between two members of the team in the empty prep room.
A behind-the-scenes "Watch This" reel from @hairbymyolai, recapping the team's hair work at the 2025 Academy Awards. The piece opens on a relaxed team group photo in a hotel lounge — about a dozen members of the styling crew in coordinated black, gathered together on a low couch with the caption "Bibi told… Watch This." It moves into a close-up of the Giovanni Eco Chic Beauty styling kit — a magenta-pink Giovanni wet brush and a Giovanni paddle brush staged inside the glossy black Giovanni Professional tote — then to lead stylist Myolai posing at the bottom of a deep-red Oscars staircase, peace signs up and credentials around his neck. A warm in-the-moment selfie with a young blonde guest in a tuxedo-style top follows, before the reel lands on the team's headline assignment: the men's line-up in matching black tuxedos and white satin sashes, posed together backstage with the @hairbymyolai tag overlaid.
A behind-the-scenes peek at a polished group of male performers gathering backstage in tuxedos and pink sashes, freshly styled and ready for their awards-show appearance. The camera follows the energy in the room as the cast files past mirrors and wardrobe racks, hair smooth and finished. A glimpse of the kind of high-stakes prep where Giovanni Eco Chic Beauty's salon-quality, naturally derived formulas earn their keep.
A backstage reel from the Giovanni Eco Chic Beauty team at the 2025 Academy Awards, set inside a busy prep room with circular Art-Deco ceiling architecture, vanity lights, mirrors, and costume racks lining the walls. The clip opens on a tight kit shot — a Giovanni Eco Chic Beauty branded duffel, the Giovanni Eco Chic Beauty Scalp Massage Shampoo Brush in its packaging, and a comb staged on the counter — then moves across a packed product spread including Frizz Be Gone Taming Spray, Root 66 Max Volume Directional Hair Root Lifting Spray, styling glue jars, a Giovanni MEN Styling Hair Clay tub, and other Giovanni finishing sprays. From there the camera turns to the work itself: a brunette stylist running her hands through a male guest's hair at the chair, a guest in a black-and-white tracksuit and silver chains getting his blonde-dyed hair touched up, and a hold-up of the Giovanni MEN Strong Hold Hair Styling Gel tube in royal blue with another styling session continuing behind it. The clip closes on another male guest, OSCARS-style credentials around his neck, mid-styling at the vanity. A direct, kit-forward look at the team at work behind one of the night's biggest red carpets.
A TikTok repost from Mario Llamas (@mariollamas0), a stylist on the Giovanni Eco Chic Beauty team at the 2025 Academy Awards. The clip cycles through a series of quick beats: a tight group selfie with members of the styling team in coordinated black inside the backstage prep area; Mario himself on the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre, arms crossed in a black leather jacket and leather pants, posed between two giant golden Oscar statuettes mounted on A.M.P.A.S. pedestals; another moment of him seated in a wooden director's chair backstage, leaning into a phone with wardrobe racks behind; a warm two-up selfie with a colleague in matching black; and a close-up of his working kit on the vanity — a Dyson-style hair dryer on its stand, a large powder/finishing brush, and an array of styling tools laid out across a black perforated mat. The reel closes on Mario taking a mirror selfie at his fully stocked vanity station. A confident, in-the-moment look at the styling artistry behind the night.
A styling reel from the 2025 Academy Awards. The clip opens on a tight close-up of a black baseball cap embroidered with "OSCARS" in the official Academy teal, then cuts into the work itself: a stylist wearing that same OSCARS cap and event credentials moves through a run of clients at a backstage station — a guest with crisp cornrow braids in a Giovanni-style black cape, a guest getting a sideburn detailed with electric clippers, a guest with a sleek slicked-back finish being polished at the chair, and a final shot of a sculpted-twist look from behind, with "LOVE NEVER FAILS" text on the back of the cape. Vanity bulbs, mirrors, and the rest of the prep room sit in the background throughout. A short, focused glimpse of the grooming craft behind the night's red carpet.
A behind-the-scenes repost from @hairbymolai (a.k.a. @hairbymyolai) at the 2025 Academy Awards, rows of their black-and-white tuxedo costumes hang on the wardrobe racks throughout the prep room. The clip opens on the stylist's loaded vanity station with a quick phone mirror selfie, then moves through a run of one-on-one moments: the stylist (in a black shirt and an OSCARS-embroidered cap, with event credentials on a lanyard) using clippers, comb, and a curling iron in turn on a series of male performers seated at the chair. Brushes, a purple Giovanni cup, and the rest of the kit stay staged in the foreground throughout. The clip closes on the stylist himself stepping out from behind the station, smiling at the camera — a clean, end-of-call moment from a long day of grooming work behind one of the night's biggest ensemble looks.
A quick "Backstage touchups!" snapshot from the @hairdepartmentetc team. The vanity lights glow over a styling station laid out for fast work — Giovanni Eco Chic Beauty bottles and tubs in front, hot tools and brushes arranged within reach, and a monitor in the background tracking what's happening on stage. The natural-meets-professional kit at rest, half a second before the next call.
