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.
I learn so much on set when working on actresses' tresses, and working with Jennifer Garner and Odeya Rush in The Odd Life of Timothy Green, and Jennifer Ferrin in Sex and the City Two, has put me in touch with a girl's curl. Here are some tips for how to make those angelic ringlets work for you... and how to get them if you want them!
For curly hair girls: Start with wet hair and as your foundation use any one of the hair products from Deva products. It's amazing for curly hair girls; once you use this miracle product you will be amazed at the curls it turns out, but you must start with curly hair. First coat hair with product, then soak up extra wetness. Let air dry as much as you can then blow dry very carefully without ruffing up the hair. Finally, grab curling iron and wrap one-inch sections around the barrel without opening the iron. Hold on to end so that the end doesn't curl... and voila!

For straight hair girls: Blow dry with setting glaze or styling mouse... I love Rene Furterer Volumea Mouse... the best for straight hair. Then use different types of irons on hair and leave set for 20 minutes. Finally, run fingers through hair to break up the curls for that ethereal curly look.
And that's it! Angel or temptress, you've got your perfect curls. Go get 'em. xx
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. He's just finished styling on location alongside film stylist Alan D'Angerio on the film, The Odd Life of Timothy Green, starring Jennifer Garner. He's been in the industry for 17 years, moving from hip neighborhoods in Chicago, to Boston's Newbury St, to Bellevue Avenue in Newport. He maintains that his real passion, though, is being behind a salon chair at Frank Antonio Hair and Makeup in Newport.
