No 'Chewed-Up Bubble Gum' Here, Says JFF's PrestonAnthonyX

"Preston" (a.k.a. 'PrestonAnthonyX' on JustFor.Fans) is an L.A. area hairstylist who specializes in silver, lavender pastels, and anything that's hard to obtain color-wise. He has his own private studio and a large clientele that includes a number of celebrities and one famous family (who shall remain nameless). He started coloring his own hair at age nine, and got his own clippers as a Christmas gift from his brother at age ten. His fishing tackle box soon became his coloring kit, but hair remained a hobby, rather than a profession, until he was 24.

"I partied a lot from the time I went to my first rave, I was 14," Preston recounts. "I got a DUI when I was 17, and the judge looked at me and said, 'You seem like you've got a good head on your shoulders. What are you doing?' As I sat with myself in the cell in juvie (juvenile detention center), I thought about what I was going to do with my life. I grew up in a small town, Tucson, AZ and I knew I had to get out of there. I moved to California to study fashion design."

He admits he always wanted to move to L.A. and marry a millionaire, and shortly after starting fashion school, that dream came true – only to end five years later. At that time he was working at the front desk of a hair salon, where he fell in love with the business. "The pieces just snowballed," he said of his career. "I found my groove, what I was meant to do. My career was built seamlessly, and my client list grew pretty easily."

During the COVID-19 lockdown, the successful hairstylist found, courtesy of a hookup with a camera, a new career as JustForFans content creator PrestonAnthonyX.

EDGE recently had the chance to chat with PrestonAnthonyX about life with two very busy careers.

EDGE: How did your career as a content creator begin?

PrestonAnthonyX: I have to admit it probably started way earlier. I've always been a fan of the camera. When we were 16, my best friend and me would invite our classmates over and take pictures of ourselves doing sexual things with each other. My mom actually found my photos, and I was horrified.

EDGE: Were you actually having sex?

PrestonAnthonyX: I was giving head to one of my classmates. He wasn't out. He used to tease me, saying I had the gay accent. One day, my best friend Zoe invited him over. One thing led to another and, next thing, I'd be sucking him off and he'd be going down on her.

EDGE: And this began your foray into film?

PrestonAnthonyX: Even when I was 18 or 19 with my then partner, I would always set up the camera, recording whoever I was with. I think I've recorded every boyfriend I've ever had. I like showing off. I'm a bit of an exhibitionist. I don't know, I like being a slut and I kind of like showing that off to people. It's fun. "Look what I can do!" When I get older I want to be able to look back and be, "Damn I looked good." I just feel everything is so temporary, and I want to enjoy every moment that I get at every age.

EDGE: How did you turn this into online content?

PrestonAnthonyX: I had this hookup over, and he asked if he could record it. Of course, I said yes. It was a really hot session, and all of a sudden, during COVID, I started getting messages from friends saying they came across a video of me on Pornhub. My friend sent me the link, and it had over a million views on that video. I was like, "Heck yeah; I got a million views." I looked at the comments, and everyone was asking, "Who's the bottom? Who's the bottom?" So, I immediately went to OnlyFans, created my page, uploaded content, went back to the page, and wrote, "I'm the bottom, here's my link" on every comment.

Overnight I made six grand and had 18,000 likes. My page shot to the top 1%. It was insane. I had thousands of new subscribers. For the next couple of months I kept adding content that I already had, but just never put out. But then I was going into writing this television show, and I thought I shouldn't have OnlyFans. I cancelled it and deleted everything, only not to go forward with the show. So, I've essentially started again just a few months ago, but I'm already doing the same numbers, subscription-wise, as a friend who's been doing it for three years. I feel good about this, and it's inspired me to continue making content, network a bit more, and help it grow.
