Get the Look: Created by Gregory Alan

Gregory Alan is one of our personal favorite editorial hairstylists here at SARAHPOTEMPA, Inc! He has assisted Sarah for many years on editorial shoots, runway shows, and styling celebrities. He was also part of the styling team for our Sarah Potempa/Sarah Silver shoot (fabulous images below!)
Silver PotempaGregory worked with Sheena Trivedi for her presentation in midtown for Fashion Week FW ’13. He styled the two models using The WRAP UP™ for Sheena’s futuristic inspired collection. He was inspired by the mod cuts of the clothing and wanted a hairstyle to match, so he chose to stack two WRAP UPs™ to achieve this innovative, double halo look.

Summer Ponytails: Stacy Kiebler

Sarah styled Stacy Keibler at these 2 summer events recently and we have a step by step guide for your perfect summer ponytail,… sleek or messy!

sarah

June is here which means hot days and frizzy hair!  What better way to beat the summer heat (and hair-tastrophe’s) than by wearing your hair in a fabulous ponytail?  Whether you want a sleek, chic look or a messy, boho style, we have the perfect solution for you!

Sarah Potempa

Sleek Ponytail:

1.  Use a bit of Aussie Catch the Wave Mousse plus Leave In Conditioner around the hairline and blow dry  all the hair back off the face with the “On Set” Styling Brush.

2.  Once all the hair is dry, use the Darby Clips to section hair and Ceramic Styling Iron to make hair perfectly smooth and sleek.

3.  Spray a flexible hold hairspray onto the “On Set” Styling Brush and  brush hair back into a ponytail in the middle of the head for an easy summer look. SARAH’S SECRET CELEB TIP: To get the underneath smooth, Sarah always says to look up to really brush it in tight.

4.  Once the ponytail is secured with a hair tie, wrap a bit of hair around to cover it and pin it in place for a more polished look.

5.  Use a bit of gel around the ears and hairline to keep flyaways down.  Now you have a perfect sleek ponytail!

Messy Ponytail:

1.  Start with a volumizing spray like Blow Up Thickening Mist at the roots and loosely blow dry hair upwards for maximum texture and volume on top.

2.  Use the “Prep It” Comb to really tease hair on top for a voluminous, messy look.

3. Pull it up to a high ponytail.  SARAH’S SECRET CELEB TIP:  To get your high ponytail at the perfect level, simply follow your jaw line up to the top of your head to give you added height and secure with a hair tie!

4.  Use the BEACHWAVER very loosely on 3-4 pieces of the ponytail to make some messy waves.

5.  Separate the waves with your fingers and brush through with the “On Set” Styling Brush, spray with a texturizing spray and you have the perfect messy ponytail for summer!

DIY Nail Polish Hair Pin Tutorial!

Title Tutorial

Memorial Day is fast approaching which means BBQ, parades and of course red, white and blue!  An easy way to incorporate a little patriotic pride is to make these super easy hair pins using nail polish and bobby pins!

supplies

First gather together all of the items you will need!  To make these pins, you will need bobby pins, a piece of cardboard or card stock, and a red, white and blue nail polish. For some extra fun, use a glitter as well!

Take the bobby pins and slide them onto the piece of cardboard.  This will help keep them in place while you paint them and make it easier.  Make sure the side you want to be painted is facing up!

painted pins

It’s time to take your nail polish and paint the bobby pins!  Get as creative as you like, either doing all once color or mixing it up and making stripes by using small strokes of different shades!  Try to use polishes that will only require one coat so they dry quickly!

Painting Nail Bobby Pin (1)

This step is if you want to add polka dots!  Take one bobby pin (unpainted)  and bend it into a 90 degree angle.  The beaded end is perfect for making a polka dot!  Then use an extra piece of cardboard or scrap paper and put a dot of nail polish on it.  Take the bent bobby pin, dip the end into the dot of polish and dab onto the bobby pins you are painting in any design you like!

Let your newly painted hair pins dry and then style however you like!  Use just one for a little accent or stack up as many as you like for a fun, Memorial Day look!
