Prior to meeting Elvis Presley, Larry Geller worked with Jay Sebring, one of the top men's hairstylists and cultural innovators in the US. Together they opened the very first styling salon for men in the country. Some of their clients included Frank Sinatra, Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, Peter Sellers, Roy Orbison, Sam Cook, Marlon Brando; they worked with many of the top celebrities in Hollywood.
On April 30, 1964, Larry received a phone call that would change his life - he was invited to the home of Elvis Presley. After styling Elvis' hair for the first time, Larry and Elvis spent several hours discussing everything from show business to the nature of life.
Larry and Elvis Presley became quick friends, exploring together the great spiritual and philosophical teachings of East and West. Larry remained Elvis' personal hairstylist, working on 10 Elvis Presley movies and hundreds of concert appearances across the country. He had the terrible task of preparing Elvis' hair for his funeral in 1977.
