'It's fun': Man holds two world records for sky-high mohawk, credits salon for his success
The Guinness World Record holder for the tallest mohawk credits his salon for his sky-high hairstyle.
Joe Grisamore of Minnesota has trusted Family Hair Affair and Day Spa and hairstylist Kay Jettmann with his 50-inch-long locks for years.
"Kay and I had worked together for a long time," Grisamore told KARE. "We just do it without ratting it, laying on the floor. It was a big trial and error."
Grisamore's wife, Laura, has also become a pro at perfecting the style.
Grisamore explained that his world record title is specifically for the tallest spike mohawk. His mohawk measures at 50.9 inches, to be exact.
In 2019, he also won the title for tallest mohican, or fan mohawk, in the world.
"Of the two titles that exist, I now hold them both," Grisamore said. "Laura wanted me to be humble and not do the second one, I figured if it's out there and it exists, let's make it happen."
Grisamore's reason for all the effort that goes into the titles? It's fun.
"Yeah, that's what it's all about," he said. "I don't have a good answer as to really why. Good goal, good news and it's fun."
