He was the lead hair stylist on Sex and the City 2, he made Anne Hathaway fabulous on film, and he's GoLocalProv's weekly style expert. Frank Barbosa, the Newport-based celebrity stylist, brings red carpet perspective to hair, makeup, and overall style.
Getting ready for spring? We know that this means for many a highlight upgrade. Here are three great highlighting choices and how to ask for them when chatting with your stylist.
1. The LA splice
Think surfer girl, California girl, or good ol' Narragansett Beach girl. Get this more dramatic highlight by asking for splices of color in strategic placement... along with some weaving, this can make your look a carefree, beachy one.

Think Sarah Jessica Parker or Jessica Biel. Ask for dipped ends in some places and midshaft down-weaving, only two or three levels lighter than your root color (or it could look like you need a retouch). Remember: pictures speak volumes.
3. The good girl foil
This is achieved by a very fine weave... not much... just to add a hint of natural highlight (about three to four levels of lift). Think Jennifer Garner, Anne Hathaway, and the American sweethearts of the world who unite in the good girl foil.
Now welcome spring and those sun-kissed tones, no matter which girl you feel most like being!
From Sex and the City 2 to Rachel Getting Married, from The Sorcerer's Apprentice to Bride Wars, Frank Barbosa has styled some of the biggest celebrities in film, TV, and theater.
