Hey, I'm Amanda Champagne and we're here today at the Belle Visage Spa in Studio City.
We're checking in with Grammy nominee Faith Evans to find out the secret to looking good on the red carpet.
Faith, congratulations this is your sixth Grammy nomination.
Who was it that told you? Was it your manager or
one of your daughters? Who came to you with the news?
One of my fans sent me an e mail and they put it up on my fan site
and I'm like is this real cause there's a few of them that I keep in touch with
via e mail and text what have you and I text them like, is that true
what I saw? Am I nominated for a Grammy? Are you serious?
I was like, you're lying. I really must have said
that you're lying for about five minutes.
I'm still kind of surprised, but I do know that it's true.

Is there anyone that really hoping to see take home a Grammy?
Maybe a friend of yours or someone a song or a album
that you think really stood out and you hope they get the award?
I'd like to see Jazmine Sullivan win a Grammy.
You know I think she's a great talent and I'm just really happy to see her
finally gettin' out there and having people knowing her voice.
Young Hollywood has teamed up with Turbo Tax and we're doing the official guide to the Grammys and
we were wondering, did you have someone during your career that kind of guided you along?
Someone that was really inspirational or a turning point in your career that you can share with us.
I'm one who kind of takes situations
you know good and bad and look at all different parts of the spectrum
and try and learn from it, whether I'm sharing that with someone or not or
sayin' I learned this from you or whether their trying to teach it to me.
I'm just kind of, I'm very observant and
I just learn from situations that happen and try
and use it for the better in the future.
Your fans want to know what else is on the horizon for Faith Evans. What projects are you working on?
I did an independent album. just a good feelin' to know that people still appreciate
good music regardless. I may not be the number one selling artist
or you know just constantly coming back with albums every
time you turn your head, but I feel like I'm consistent
and giving my fans what they want from Faith Evans.
I heard there was a movie. Yes, I am due to start production
in a couple of months in the bio pic on Florence Ballard's life.
She is the founder of the Supremes.
I was chosen by her daughters and
the producers to play the lead role in that. Wow. So I'm excited.
We'll let you get in there and get your facial. We're going to check it out and go see how it's done.
You know the drill. Take off your clothes and put your smock on and I'll be right in.
There's a really interesting story behind the salon and how it all
began so do you want to share with us?
I started doing aesthetics since I was sixteen
So when I was twenty, I was just walking my dog and
saw this little space and my dogs names Belle
so I just named the spa Belle Visage.
That's how it started when I was twenty.
You had some pretty big celebrity clientele when you first started.
Kirsten Dunst? Her mom met me at at store
and then she came to get a facial and then she brought
Kirsten in for a facial and she was really really tiny. So
she really didn't need it, to be honest with you, at that age. She was eleven.
And I can relate with that cause that's when I started getting facials.
I think that because she started at such a young age
that she's got amazing skin now. Tell us about the facial that Faith is receiving today.
this is a brand new treatment called the Dermafile and
basically it's diamond pieces crushed on a metal and piece and what I'm going to do
is,I'm going to sluff off all the dead layers and just remove any kind of
discoloration, congestion, everything's just gonna come right off.
When would you suggest that someone get this facial?
About four days before something like a big event.
Three days four days, if it's their first time I would say four days.
If it's their like, Faith has been coming here for years, so I would say probably like two days.
So, Faith have you picked out a dress yet for the Grammys?
I am going to a fitting
There's a designer by the name of David Alexander, from LA, who
has been wanting to make some stuff for me for a while.
We have a few ideas that he's working on.
What kind of color scheme are you going with? What's a curvy woman's favorite
color? Black [laughter]
It's a black. Probably black and silver.
Like a black with a little platinum beading around the neckline.
Off the shoulder dress that he's making.
That I, I loved it in the sketch.
Going to be bringing your daughter with you on the carpet this year?
I am. I promised her she could go with me to
either to the Clive Davis event or to the actual Grammy event.
Thanks again so much for the day at the Belle Visage Spa and sharing your red carpet beauty secrets with us.
Thank you for coming and thanks to Turbo Tax we can do this.
Definitely and now you guys know where to get your Grammy glow.
