When clients show you a pic of a celebrity style they’d like you to recreate for them, which celeb is it? I’m wondering if your experiences match those reported by
dailymakeover.com, which operates a makeover site where more than 4 million women each month upload their own photos and “try on” virtual hairstyles worn by pretty much any celebrity they choose. The top celeb choices aren’t necessarily the ones you might have guessed.
This site skews young, so it’s not surprising that Miley Cyrus is among the popular names that come up, and every girl with a square face wants to find out whether she can look like Angelina Jolie. But think about it: what’s been hot so far this year? I’d say beachy waves and chin-skimming casual looks. Between January and March of this year, Daily Makeover’s number one celebrity search was Adrienne Palicki, TV’s
Friday Night Lights dirty-blonde with the very cute, graduated, straight-hair bob. From April to May, it was Brittany Snow, a lighter blonde whose long, flowy hair sometimes takes that beachy turn.
Also among the top picks during the first half of this year were Jennifer Lopez, Ashley Tisdale, Adrienne Bailon, Paris Hilton, Alexis Bledel, Ashley Greene, Janet Jackson, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Tara Reid and Alicia Keys. If you don’t recognize some of those names, maybe it’s time for your
online hair education to include browsing sites like
omg!,
tmz.com,
perezhilton.com and
people.com to prepare for clients who fail to bring in a photo.
This style from Luis Alvarez for Aquage is the type of short cut that women try on in their virtual makeovers.
