I recently interviewed the fabulous celebrity hair stylist Ken Paves for Beauty Interviews.com.

I know Ken Paves was attacked by the paparazzi after dining at Madeo on Beverly Boulevard on Saturday night with Jessica Simpson, so I really hope Ken is doing well.

Ken Paves was dubbed by the media as “the hottest hairdressers in Hollywood”. Ken Paves is often recognized as Jessica Simpson’s hair stylist and for his work with a variety of other high profile clients, such as: Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria Parker, Fergie, and Jessica Alba to name a few. In this interview, Ken Paves talks about his beginning as a professional hair stylist doing several international magazine covers with Nikki Taylor, how did his business relationship with Jessica Simpson evolve, how did the concept for Hairdo a line of clip-in-hair extensions come about, his must-have hair styling tools and products, and why using self-expression is so important when it comes to hair.

Marta Walsh: When did your interest in hair design begin?
Ken Paves: I grew up with my father working 7 days a week in the auto industry. My mom worked part time jobs and raised 3 boys. I would sit outside of my mom’s bathroom as a “spectator” whenever she would do her hair and make up. This was only usually during the holidays or family functions. I was in awe at how these rare moments of self made her feel. My mom is my muse and has also appeared in the media with me. When my father retired from the auto industry after 32 years, he made me promise him I would choose a job that I would love to do after 32 years. It’s been 14 years and I still love it. I love to help women recognize their own beauty and to feel confident about themselves – that is beautiful.

The hot new hairstyle that celebrities are sporting is the modernized, layered bob as seen on Anne Hathaway, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Garner. Formerly forbidden since the 70s, this cut is making a strong comeback this season celebs are growing out their layered bobs to hit just above the collarbone. This cut creates beautiful lines by emphasizing your neck and shoulders.

This is how to get Anne Hathaway’s modernized bob by Frederic Fekkai’s Adir Abergel:

To get this modern day bob look, you need a good volumizer like Frederic Fekkai’s Fekkai Coiff Bouffant to use all over the roots and dry hair upside down to create fullness.  Adir then wrapped hair around a 1″ curling iron, making sure to leave the ends out to create a relaxed curl. To soften this look you can add a slight wave by using Frederic Fekkai’s Coiff Oceanique Tousled Wave Spray to modernize texture and take it away from soccer mom territories.

“Clients should ask for a choppier bob so it’s not so blunt, but rather has texture on the ends with longer layers that frame the face for body,” says Adir. “The long bob can become soccer mom-esque if it is too blunt, so make sure your stylist removes some bulk from hair by chops into the ends.”

THE PRODUCTS ALL BY FEKKAI: Coiff Oceanique Tousled Wave Spray, Coiff Bouffant.
