07.24.10Brit's Weave: Just Like Us?This week people are talking about Britney Spears' extensions. Again. Some more. Things look pretty a-ok from the front, but the back is a big hot mess. I can't exactly figure out what is going on here... It looks like really badly applied extensions on top of a lack of hair, I guess? Ken Paves told People that is wasn't that big of a deal. (Um?) He says it's just, " a case of bed head. Who hasn’t had it?" he asks. "The truth is that this is exactly how these extensions are applied," Ken continues, "however we are not supposed ...

05.08.10Interview With Celebrity Hair Stylist Ken PavesCelebrity Hairstylist Ken Paves is everywhere right now. He popped up on this season of Shear Genius and traveled around the globe with his BFF Jessica Simpson on their new show, The Price of Beauty. Ken also has a super popular line of hairdo Clip-in Extensions with Jessica, and he recently launched a new line of Professional Styling Tools, which includes hair dryers, styling irons, and curling irons. Ken was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to answer some Hair On The Brain questions about his new line! Hair On The Brain: Why did you decide to ...

04.20.10Jessica Simpson HairstylesWhen Jessica Simpson first hit the scene she was just another teen queen, but she's managed to turn her marginal singing career into all kinds of celebrity, including reality TV shows, like The Price of Beauty, fashion lines, and even a line of clip-in hair extensions with her long-time hairstylist, Ken Paves. Even though Jessica is best known for her blonde hair, along with Ken, Jessica has experimented with a wide range of hairstyles. Above, Jessica is the classic all-American beauty with smooth, straight hair. She wore this look with a center part and weird bangs in '03, layers in ...

04.08.10Shear Genius Winner: Brig!Crazy like a fox, Shear Genius Season Three winner Brig Van Osten out played the rest of the contestants. Check out what she had to say for herself in our interview! Hair on the Brain: Congratulations on winning Shear Genius. Were you expecting the win or were you shocked? Brig: I was completely shocked. I thought there was no way the judges were going to appreciate [the runway hair]. I knew Jonathan wouldn’t. But I looked at it and I loved it, because I had never seen anything like it before. I pulled something out that wasn’t inspired by someone else’s hair. ...

03.29.10At What Price?I finally got around to watching Jessica Simpson's new VH1 show, The Price of Beauty last night. It was the second episode of the series, where Jessica, Cacee and Ken Paves go to Paris to check out the fashion world. The show mixes serious and lighthearted content--a trip to the spa to meeting with an anorexic model--pretty decently. I'd expected Jessica to continue her ditsy persona from Newlyweds with Nick Lachey. But here she comes across more grown up, grounded, and likable. Cacee and Ken don't do a whole lot, but they're ok too. Although, I really didn't need to see ...

03.13.10The Price of … Lip GlossHave you guys seen the ads for Jessica Simpson's new VH1 reality show The Price of Beauty? Jessica and her two BFFs, Cacee Cobb and celeb hairstylist Ken Paves, will travel to seven different nations to see what lengths women will go to in the name of beauty. In an interview for Oprah, Ken Paves explained that after exploring the definition of beauty around the world, he and Jessica came home with a new perspective of America's beauty industry. "I actually came back a bit embarrassed and a bit ashamed of the industry that I'm in," Ken said. "Because the industry ...

02.18.10Interview with Shear Genius Eliminated Contestant Faatemah!Did you see last night's Shear Genius? It was a super amazing episode, as always. Ken Paves pops up for the Shortcut Challenge, and the stylists have to give extensions to men--with varying degrees of success. The Elimination Challenge forces the stylists to work in teams, although Brig works alone because no one likes her. They style models for sexhay romance novel covers, and Mathew and Janine's team wins. Yay! With Mathew winning top prize for the night. Sadly, one of my favorites, Faatemah, is sent home, when clearly Adee should have gotten the boot for not even completing the ...

01.06.10GoldielocksJessica Simpson got some new blonde extensions ringlets last night (Jan. 5) from her bestie Ken Paves at his West Hollywood Salon. OK, I swear I saw something on E! News yesterday about how she and Billy Corgan are supposedly still dating, but I can't find anything about it online. Did anyone else see that? Did I dream it? Hmm. Maybe she's just gearing up for publicity stunt part two. Anyway, I came across this video from Ken Paves on Day to Evening 'Do. Check it.

10.28.09The Price of BeautyJessica Simpson just got back from Mumbai, India, yesterday with this cool henna tattoo. Neat-o. She was in India with her creepy father, Joe Simpson, and her BFF and hairstylist Ken Paves to film her new reality TV show The Price of Beauty, which will air on VH1. Of course, I'm wondering why Ken didn't touch up Jessica's roots. Isn't that the bonus of traveling with your hairstylist? But I am not going to bag on Jessica's looks. God knows she gets PLENTY of that already, which is crazy because she's gorgeous. Does it even need to be said that this ...

10.25.09Pull My HeartstringsLast night (October 24) Rag & Bone sponsored “Todd DiCiurcio: Heartstrings” event at Confederacy, hosted by Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick, who was joined by his co-star and real-life girlfriend Jessica Szohr. (By the way, really with that chest hair action, Ed? Button that up or hit the gym/wax.) Also in attendance, Gossip Girl guest star, Hilary Duff. Wearing those same big earrings she had on the other day when leaving Ken Paves Hair Salon in West Hollywood. She looks cute. Those over the knee boots are everywhere. And I guess those black liquid leggings aren't going anywhere... Twilight's Ashley ...
