Red Carpet Ready for the Oscars at Cristophe Beverly Hills!
(models from Left to Right: Alexis, Lucy, Jamie)
Cristophe salon was asked to forecast and showcase three beautiful red carpet looks for Starsentertainment.com. Stephanie Pratt from MTV’s The Hills talked with Cristophe about three very different and gorgeous red carpet looks. Stylist Sami Eid sculpted a beautiful braided up do on model Lucy, a stunning hair style that would make a statement paired with a simple elegant dress. As braids are a huge trend on the runways and in beauty blogging spheres, Sami really wanted to show how braids don’t just have to be just “a braid”. That braids can look as detailed and intricate as one would like, a look can be created and customized to one’s outfit, and to not be afraid of braids.
Old Hollywood glamour, reminiscent of the elegant Grace Kelly has never gone out of fashion, and is always praised on the red carpet. To capture this timeless look, stylist Jeffrey Jagged set curls in model Alexis’ hair with a one-inch barrel curling iron and lightly brushed the curls out, finishing the hair style with soft face framing finger-waves. On any women, at any age the simple sophistication of 40’s glamour always looks beautiful.
Our last look was sleek, chic, and modern. Pauline, assistant to Cristophe, styled model Jamie’s hair with a clean side front part pulling the hair back into two low set a-symmetrical buns sitting at the nape of her. The a-symmetrical nature of the hair style really added to its modern edge, and is perfect for a dress with high-neckline or heavy embellishments.
All the models were made up for their red carpet looks by makeup artist Thierry Pourtoy and Jermaine. Trusted artist that know how to keep red carpet makeup set and looking lovely under all the photographers flashing bulbs.

A Stylist’s Signature: Glenn Deneve
Every stylist has their own signature, and Cristophe Beverly Hills stylist Glenn Deneve is an expert in cutting hair dry. A unique technique, Glenn Deneve (stylist for New Year, New You Winner Karin) yes cut’s hair when it’s dry. Trained in Europe, Glenn is one of the only stylists at Cristophe Salon, who cuts hair while it’s dry, which is more difficult than when the hair is wet. By cutting the hair when it is dry, he is able to style it by the way the hair falls as it grows. When the hair is wet, it can be manipulated in any direction, but when dry it will fall in the same direction it grows, which might not be the way it was originally cut.

Meet The Cristophe Circle: colorist Rashida Lambert
Colorist Rashida Lambert’s personality is as vibrant as sun-kissed summer highlights! She has a serious passion and love for color. Having been an artist as a child, a canvas could no longer hold her creativity and she began experimenting with coloring her own hair; blue, pink, and platinum blonde. Eventually she took her experimentation to another (professional) level and graduate from color training programs with Wella, Redken, and L’Oreal. A color designer at Cristophe Salon in Washington DC, she has this to say about her experience; “I like to laugh and enjoy my clients and I am grateful to those around me who give me a chance to do my thing. Nothing gives me the excitement, energy or the same freedom as creating for my clients. People make the best canvas.”
Read our Meet The Cristophe Circle Survey with colorist Rashida Lambert;
1. If you could style the hair of any celebrity (dead or alive), who would it be and why?
I love Oprah. I don’t think I’ll be able to pry her from the hands of her stylist or makeup artist. I guess that’s one of the reasons I like her. I would just love the opportunity to have some one on one time. The kind of time I get to spend with my
2. What is the best compliment ever received from a client?
I don’t have one, but I love it when my clients tell me that they couldn’t wait to see me. My clients and I have a great time when they come in and when we’re done they look renewed.
3. If you were a fruit, which one would you be and why?
I would have to say if I were a fruit I would be a purple passion fruit. The deep hue of purple on a Passion fruit is as intense as the flavor. I’m a bubbly, artsy person and have definitely been described as colorful. When it comes to my crafts, people describe me as intense .

Name: Jason Richard
Sign:Capricon, born on Christmas Eve
Favorite:
Color: Yellow- as in blonde
Book:Why is God Laughing, Deepak Chopra and any thing else self-help
Movie: Paper Moon with Ryan and Tatum O’Neal.
I began working as Cristophe’s assistant and then onto stylist/colorist creating the blondes I’m famous for–including the blonde locks that helped to make Pamela Anderson famous. My style is soft, sexy cuts that are inspired by my days at Cristophe Salon and Beverly Hills. I have been in San Francisco for the last 15 years, and have the single most internet presence for a single hairstylist in SF (search Jason Richard) thanks to my recent studies at Academy of Art University SF ( New Media Major). Aside from coloring and cutting, travel is my favorite pastime. I travel the globe (Tel Aviv, Rio de Janeiro, Dublin, Buenos Aires, London, Mexico City, Havana recently) to get a sense of what women are wearing, hair styles, and to pick up style trends in hair to inspire myself. I recently completed advanced training for professionals at Vidal Sassoon and will attend advanced training again in March of 2012.

Totally Transformed! New Year, New You Winner Karin’s Makeover
When we read Karin’s “New Year, New You” entry we all became huge fans! With hard work and dedication to her health and wellbeing, along with the drive to succeed as an entrepreneur we were rooting for her. Looking for an outward transformation to match her inner one, we were enthusiastic about her enthusiasm.
Winning Entry:
2012 will truly be a “New Year, New Me.” In January, I will have met my 30-pound weight loss goal. In February, I am simultaneously launching two businesses. In the midst of pouring all I have, literally and figuratively, into new business ventures, and meeting goals, my hair got neglected. My hair is to my waist (!!) and definitely need to jazz up my look to match how I feel on the inside: empowered & transformed!! In 2011, I transformed body, soul and mind. 2012 is about stepping into my destiny. Calling Cristophe Beverly Hills to the rescue!
We could attempt to explain Karin’s makeover experience at the Cristophe Salon but only she could say it best. Knowing exactly the look she was going for, she came in very well prepared to exceptional professionals
Karin share’s her experience at the Cristophe Salon Beverly Hills:
I was overjoyed upon finding out I was selected for “New Year, New You.” It came at the perfect time. My hair majorly needed TLC and knew I would be in good hands at Cristophe.
My day started with the lovely Lana giving me sunkissed highlights. She gave me a beautiful color perfect for spring. Lana has great insight on application and color for each individual. Even though it was my first time being in her chair, I was at ease the entire time.
Glenn revived my hair with a fabulous cut. Not much direction was needed; he knew exactly what to do. He cut my hair dry and the result was healthy hair with body and style. Thanks for turning me on to Oribe Dry Texturing Spray, Glenn!
While getting my hair cut, I had the pleasure of getting my nails done by Diana. She gave my nails a beautiful shape, and was very gentle – no bloody cuticles here!
Getting my make-up done by Jermaine was like the whipped cream and cherry on top – a hot fudge sundae is not complete without it! It was pure joy to have her do my makeup. She made my eyes pop – I was ready for my night out! I reluctantly washed my face that night as I wanted to keep my “eyes” longer!
Thank you, Cristophe, for the fabulous day of pampering. I truly feel transformed from the inside out!
We still have 3 other New Year, New You winners waiting for their transformations. Continue to follow our blog for their stories and more news from the Cristophe Circle.
