Career

Geller's career began when he joined forces with famed hairdresser Jay Sebring, opening the first men's hair salon in America in 1959. This salon provided services like women's hair styling salons as opposed to the traditional barber shops.[1]

Their salon, Sebring International, attracted Hollywood's A-list. Film stars, TV and recording artists such as Frank Sinatra, Paul Newman, Sammy Davis, Jr., Kirk Douglas, Marlon Brando, Peter Sellers, Steve McQueen, Henry Fonda, Robert Wagner, Glen Campbell, James Garner, Bobby Darin, Tony Bennett, Rock Hudson, Roy Orbison, Sam Cooke, and Jackie Gleason were among their clientele.[1]

Personal hairstylist to Elvis Presley

Beginning in 1964, Geller left Sebring to accompany Elvis and style his hair[6] for entertainment engagements, including film productions,[6] concert performances,[6] and reception of guests at Graceland.[1] Their relationship went far deeper than hairstylist and client. Geller was Elvis’ confidant and friend. He brought Elvis many new age ideas on "[r]eligion, philosophy, ... life, and anything else you can think of",[6] and books which contained them, which helped Elvis in his search for identity and purpose.[1]

Geller styled Elvis’ hair for nearly a dozen movies: Roustabout, Girl Happy, Double Trouble, Easy Come, Easy Go, Frankie and Johnny, Harum Scarum, Paradise, Hawaiian Style, Tickle Me, Clambake, and Spinout. Geller prepared Elvis’ hair for the last time for his funeral in August, 1977.[1]

Personal life

Geller was first married to Stevie,[7] from 1963 to 1972. Geller remarried in 1995. He and his wife Shira lived in Los Angeles,[1] and now live in Sedona, Arizona.[11] He has twin sisters.[8] Elvis studied with him for years.[7]

Notable appearances

In November 2010, Geller appeared on the Elvis Cruise 2010, which sailed from Jacksonville to Nassau, Bahama on a Carnival Cruise Lines ship named the Carnival Fascination.[2]
