Quick Tips from Antonio Prieto Take Your Look from Work to Party Chic in 5 Minutes Flat.

Renowned stylist Antonio Prieto offers quick tips to change your look in minutes. Whether going on a date or to a holiday party, these fast, easy tricks will leave you (or at least your hair) ready for anything!

Short Hair: Pomade is key. A look like Victoria Beckham’s may be slightly unkempt during the day but in the evening quickly be made sleek and pieced out with pomade.

Medium Hair: Hot rollers or a curling iron will do the trick. This look on Katherine Heigl can be done before work with either and pulled back to a low bun during the day. When ready to leave the office the bun can be removed and hair can be shaken out, still retaining the curl from the rollers.

Long Hair: Hair accessories are the answer. A simple classic ponytail, such as the look on Ali Larter, can be made more sophisticated for evening with a fancy hair pin or clip. Keep the ponytail low for a more classic and evening look.

The Antonio Prieto Salon is located at 127 West 20th Street, NY. Visit www.antonioprietosalon.com for more details.

Celebrity Stylist Theodore Leaf Tends the Tresses of 90210 Star Jessica Lowndes with BIOLUSTRÉ before her 21st Birthday Bash, November 7, a the The Roosevelt Hotel, Hollywood CA.

The Look: A glamorous, “showgirl” up-do inspired by Moulin Rouge.

To restore healthy shine to her hair and prepare for styling, Jessica used Biolustré’s intense 4-step repair system:

- Release Cleansing Shampoo: A gentle, low PH cleansing shampoo designed to remove excess oils and product build-up.
- Revive Repair Treatment: A unique formula clinically proven to repair hair to a near virgin condition, restoring softness, shine and strength.
- Restore Maintenance Treatment Shampoo: An innovative formula containing Biolustré’s exclusive Lustreloc Technology, which delivers low levels of polymers to provide added strength and shine to hair.

- Renew Daily Conditioning Sealant: A lightweight conditioner formulated with ingredients including mint and tea tree oil for a soothing sensation. Renew is designed to help smooth the hair cuticle and seal in moisture.

One her hair was treated, Theodore Leaf created her style by blow drying the hair with a large round brush, applying a lifting spray at the roots to create some height for the updo. After blow drying, he loosely pinned back sections of curls to maximize body and volume. He then combed the top of the hair with a fine tooth comb to add height. After that, he gently teased at the roots and finished with putty to set the style. Front pieces were pinned back with a festive hair clip.
