Celebs With Beautiful Braids

Who can resist a beloved childhood hair style brought back to life in adulthood?

French braids and fishtails with bits of hair hanging out will be quite chic this spring.

From the undone and chic look to the structured, more classic style, here are few notable braids spotted on stars recently.

Learn how to get any of these looks at Von Anthony Salon, Frisco. 972-731-7600

KIM KARDASHIAN

A reliable braid with a little flair.

JESSICA ALBA

A few carefully wrapped braids pulled up from the sides and behind to create more dimension and texture.












MILEY CYRUS

Slightly undone and pulled apart side braid offsets her formal attire on the red carpet.

NICOLE RITCHIE

The French braid. An updated, classic look by shifting the braid off to the side and distressing it a bit.

LAUREN CONRAD

Perfect for those who need some relief from grown-out fringe between cuts: a chic and easy-to-do braid.

RIHANNA

Rihanna’s bright ruby red braid is anything but distressed. The fluidity of this style creates the illusion of one braid from the front all the way to the tips of her long locks.

SHAILENE WOODLEY

A “twist” on a great thing: the fishtail braid. The “Descendants” star is a huge proponent of the side braid, as well, but she tends to favor the messier version of a classic fishtail look.

Jennifer Anniston is considered one of Hollywood's most beautiful women with staying power that rivals Madonna in the music industry. So, what keeps her looking hot?

The latest star who loves Kérastase is…the gorgeous Jennifer Aniston. Her hairstylist, Chris McMillan revealed to Allure Magazine: “We pretty much have a formula: I use a Kérastase mousse at the crown and the ends, and a little bit of Kérastase Sérum Oléo-Relax only on the ends—because we love the smell and how it moisturizes her hair”

Additionally, to keep her hair straight and shiny, the blonde actress uses Kerastase Ciment Thermique.

2012 Hair Forecast From Von Anthony Salon

We see 2012 bringing hair trends of a strong feminine woman. Shapes and styles come from many different genres:

• 20's and 30's for strong shapes that are sculpted and command attention.
• 70's inspired styles where one doesn't shy away from size, shapes and textures.
• Dark tones of hair combined with cool red tones take these looks to 2012.

Also shine is very apparent in hair whether it is sculpted or free form.

Blondes, think of incorporating a few pastel tones throughout your hair. Rose-gold and peach hued hair was on all the runways for 2012.

Finally, glamorous, bouncy blowouts with hair color found in nature are still a strong statement: fluid and flowing.

Thank You For Your Support! Fundraiser for Grayson Hughes

Thank you to everyone who helped support our fundraiser for Grayson Hughes.

As we were wrapping up the sales and preparing for the drawing one last client, Mike De La Cruz, bought $200.00 worth of tickets and put Grayson's name on the bulk of them.

With almost 1000 tickets to choose from, Grayson reached into the box and pulled a rare ticket for Mr. De La Cruz.

Mr. De La Cruz was actually still in the salon to receive his reward of over $3,200.00 in gifts that he was able to spread back out for Christmas.

In the true spirit of the Holiday's, Mike's last minute contribution pushed us over the goal of $5,000.00. It was a night filled with tears of joy that was topped off with the news that Grayson had also gone into remission.

It was a very Merry Christmas.

Our thanks to CBS for sharing Grayson's story and how the community of Frisco has rallied to support this family.
