Frank Barbosa, GoLocalWorcester Style Expert

He was the lead hair stylist on Sex and the City 2, he made Anne Hathaway fabulous on film, and he's GoLocal's style expert. Frank Barbosa, the Newport-based celebrity stylist, brings red carpet perspective to hair, makeup, and overall style.

With mid-summer hazy days at hand, it's time to make your way to your local salon and ask for a glaze to keep your color and natural shine where it belongs: on your head, not down the drain! If your hair just isn't shining as much, your color is fading way too fast, and it is dry to the touch, a glaze is just what you need. Here are my tips for happy glazing:

First thing's first

There are many glazing techniques on the market; my most reliable suggestion is that you discuss them with your stylist. This way you can create the right glaze for you. Usually a translucent color glaze will compliment your hair color best.

Two birds, one stone

A clear glaze will shine up your hair by closing down your cuticle and reflecting light. This method lasts about 4-6 weeks, so when you're ready for a touch-up of your perm, color, or trim, you can refresh your glaze without having to make an extra trip to the salon.

DIY glamour

There are also shampoos and conditioners that help your glaze keep its shine. My favorites are Renne Furter Florvaranti shampoo and conditioner (found at most salons and beauty boutiques) and Rita Hazan (found at your local Sephora), which comes comes in a glazing foam for at-home application once a week. Leave in for 5 minutes, rinse, follow up with a conditioner, and viola, shine for days!

 

From Sex and the City 2 to Rachel Getting Married, from The Sorcerer's Apprentice to Bride Wars, Frank Barbosa has styled some of the biggest celebrities in film, TV, and theater. He's styled on location alongside film stylist Alan D'Angerio on the film, The Odd Life of Timothy Green, starring Jennifer Garner. He's been in the industry for 17 years, moving from hip neighborhoods in Chicago, to Boston's Newbury St, to Bellevue Avenue in Newport. He maintains that his real passion, though, is being behind a salon chair at Frank Antonio Hair and Makeup in Newport.
