Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ms. Lisa Michelle Dixon:
I have an egg allergy. When I went to Europe I was very sick because of my fitness modeling. French doctors decided to do allergy tests and a few other exams to make sure I didn’t have anything seriously wrong with me. Turned out I am highly allergic to egg, white and yolk. I cannot eat any of it. So I was accidentally making myself really sick, in turn losing all of my muscle because my body needed to feed on something. I think it is more important for everyone to get their own personalized eating regimens after having an allergy test done and speaking with their dietician.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing and secondly what you do to your hair to make them look so stunning?
Ms. Lisa Michelle Dixon:
I have the best hair team in the world! Courtney Greenday is my colorist and Rachel Brumbaugh is my stylist. Both of them are trainers at the Toni & Guy academy in Costa Mesa. I started working with them when I came back from Europe and at that point my hair was so damaged. They have managed to teach me some tips and tricks and never over dye my hair and always cut off what is needed and what works with my face.
I love these women! As for my skin, I don’t drink alcohol and I haven’t fallen into any drugs. I drink a lot of water and tea and I eat my three meals a day. I have tried some face washes but they all make me breakout. So now I don’t use anything.

Ms. Lisa Michelle Dixon:
People will say “you’re not good enough”, “you’re too fat”, “you’re not tall enough”, “you’re too skinny”, “it’s not a real job or career path”, “you’re wasting your time”, etc. It is an industry full of wonderful experience and self question. Maybe it’s because I started so young but I don’t take what people say so personally and you never should either.
People in the industry have a specific look they want for a specific job. People not in the industry will never get it. Don’t let others change your mind. If you’re passionate and driven then don’t give up because the more work you put in the more you will succeed. I’m 28 years old and have been told for the last two years by some people in the industry that I’m “too old”. Truth is, I was only “too old” to them. I have had my national ad campaign for Toni & Guy and their Westside Collection and I’m still being interviewed by Women’s Fitness. The only limitations we have are the ones we create for ourselves.
