Inspiration For Garcelle’s do, Kimble turned to the 1960’s, the aura of The Supremes and their perfectly coiffed, larger-than-life hair that epitomized both glamour and style.

Ted Gibson, owner of New York’s Ted Gibson Salon and creator of his own line of styling products, loves to get his hands into the hair of Paula Jai Parker, who will be starring this spring in the movie musical Idlewild with Andre 3000 and Big Boi of Outkast.

Yusef, who treats tresses at Paul Labrecque Salon in New York, has worked with Michael Michele for about a year. “We’ve experimented with everything from updos to braids,” says the Miami native, who likes to change up Michele’s look when she hits the red carpet. A new mom, Michele is busy at home spoiling her baby. She was last seen as a detective in the CBS TV movie The Hunt for the BTK Killer.
