kai conversations... with jessica elbaum

on a recent los angeles press junket i had the pleasure of meeting jessica elbaum and couldn’t have been more pleased! a great person to have in our kai corner came with the added plus that i felt an immediate connection with jessica and thought “we need to be friends”. down to earth, smart, sweet, kind and drop dead gorgeous you would have thought her one of the celebs she works her magic on. but that’s where her star shines. celebrity hair stylist jessica has been working on the beautiful people of modern family for all eight seasons making them even more beautiful.
