Boyfriend Lets His Quarantined Hairstylist GF Experiment With His Hair And Here’s What She’s Done So Far
The coronavirus has made Heidi Lee Oley from Atlanta, Georgia temporarily shut down her hair salon. This has forced her employees out of work, along with thousands of other stylists.
During the pandemic, she and her boyfriend Geoff have been staying at her family’s cabin in north Georgia to escape the city. “We haven’t been leaving the house, only for food, which is a shock from city life but it’s what has to be done to flatten the [coronavirus] curve,” she told Bored Panda.
Heidi misses not only the people she works with, but her clients as well. However, she’s still working with one of them: Geoff. The woman is doing his hair each day they are quarantined and, honestly, it’s the definition of couple goals.

Princess Geoffrey & Baby Yoda
Geoff is a software engineer and his hair is actually what caught Heidi’s attention when they first met 2 years ago. Now, it’s clear the two of them really fit.
After Heidi uploaded a picture of their fun little experiment to the Internet, it immediately went viral. “I knew I’d be out of work for weeks, possibly months, so when he was on the computer I started curling it and was like ‘I’m going to make you look like George Washington.’ I posted it to a few hair forums on Facebook and they loved it.”
“I kept up with it because the responses were so uplifting,” she added. “Our industry, among others, is in limbo, we don’t have clients, we don’t get paid, many are self-employed. The love we received is why we kept the series going. I wanted to be a little glimmer of light during the shadows of the uncertainty of our industry.”
Geoffrey channeling his inner Winehouse
Heidi has always braided Geoff’s hair when he’s working on the computer. “It’s fun for me, he likes his hair played with, win-win,” she said. “He has a heart of gold for letting me do this and post it.”
“His hair is the best! It’s very curly,” the stylist said. “When we came to the cabin, I only [had] my curling iron, I left all my tools at my salon, so I’m using tools from the grocery store.”
The couple get so many requests online that Heidi doesn’t think she’ll run out of ideas for the series anytime soon.
Geoff’s first prom
Heidi specializes in hair coloring, so she thinks doing updos isn’t really her forte. “It’s fun to step out of your comfort zone and learn some new techniques that I will definitely be using when I’m back behind the chair.” Geoff, on the other hand, says he lets her do this to keep her sane because he knows how much she loves doing hair.

People absolutely adore Geoff’s new looks
He is without a doubt the sweetest guy in the whole world. And raving cute too.
I second giving him a Farrah Fawcett do. But then I'm a 70s kick lately.
Amazing pictures. It's really cool to see how people are keeping things happy during this time.
He's is an awesome boyfriend and she is a really talented hairdresser. I never thought of Cindy Lou Who drinking beer. That would be interesting.
What an adorable couple, I hope you do well together. I love that a lot of the younger generation (still surprised every time I say that, my parents said that!) of men are over the macho thing that was still prevalent in my generation, I’m 62. Many men wouldn’t have allowed her to even mess with their hair, let alone post pics. At 70 my husband had hair to his waist, beautiful shiny gray. He let the grandkids style it all the time. I got lucky with him. LOL. He passed two years ago.
Thanks for posting, we all needed the laughs. And thank you, Geoff, for being so supportive and being such a good sport!
Omg...even the way he was posed for the prom pics was spot on! Loved them all.
Heidi and Geoff, you are a gorgeous couple,and have a wonderful sense of humor! Thanks for sharing!
That man has beautiful hair and a lot of self confidence. She has a winner!
He must be awesome with kids -- they love to paint fingernails, apply makeup, do hair, style "outfits." They go nuts if Dad wears it in public.
I Love This Couple!!!! This is One COOL GUY 😎 This Just Made my Day!!!! Lol 😂 Thanks for Sharing!!!
I don't want to sound alarming but the prom hairstyle rather suited him. Lol
All through WWII My Dads best friend, My Best X Old Friend, was a hair dresser. Loved each other for life. Go Figure.
He's practically a saint to let her do this! His hair IS gorgeous and she's VERY talented...and I'm sure both things help!
In WWII my Dad's, Best X Old Friend / Life Long Buddy, was a hair dresser. Go Figure?
How did you get his hair to stand straight up in the air? I'm so curious! You are very talented!
I used a soda can for the top of his head and then i used pipe cleaners for the braids to make them stick out =]
