Who Styles Tasha Smith's Hair

Who did Tasha Smith's hair? Who does Tasha Smith's hair? Who styles Tasha Smith's hair? These are the questions I get everyday through phone calls, and emails.

Just today a woman in New York emailed me and said, “I'm not a celebrity but I can afford to have my hair done by a celebrity stylist. I am willing to pay what ever it costs to get my hair done by her stylist. Please tell me how I can make an appointment. I have been to every salon in the metropolitan NY area and I cannot find what I am looking for. Money is not a problem but my hair is. I have resorted to wearing a ponytail most of the time because my hair is just not what I want it to be. My hair is shoulder length and I am of mixed heritage so my hair is wavy and thick. My colorist just can't get it right and my hair cut is passable. Please put me in touch with somebody who can make my hair look like Tasha's. I have a plethora of girlfriends who are looking for the same thing.”

I apologize to all the women in the world. I didn’t realize we were keeping it such a secret. The hair stylist is Darico Jackson, also known as Rico. He is based in Los Angeles, California, represented by guess who, and available for photo shoots, fashion shows, commercials, TV and more just by calling 323.906.9600.

If you want to book him for a salon or in home appointment, call us at 323.906.9600 or shoot me an email.

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott Escape L.A. with Crystal Agency

    Tucked away between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains lies the elegant and beautiful Bacara Resort and Spa in Santa Barabara where celebrity couple Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott escaped for some R&R and a photo shoot for Statement Magazines February 2008 issue.
    Our celebrity stylists Melinda Tarbell and Tiffani Rae dressed the couple. Melinda worked with Tori and Tiffani with Dean. The night before the shoot, Melinda swung by Tori’s house to collaborate on her looks. “Tori’s legs are one of her greatest assets, so we showed them off in shorts and dresses” says Melinda. She also showed off Spring 2008’s runway looks using vibrant colors and floral prints.
    For Dean, Tiffani used brands such as Modern Amusement and Bread Denim to stand by his rocker style. “Dean’s strong Scottish heritage inspired him to collect kilts through out his travels. I saw him photographed wearing one in the past, and I had to have him in one!” exclaimed Tiffani.

Up and Coming Musical Phenomenon Jolita Sakmanaite Calls Upon Crystal Agency for a Makeover

   

     Jolita Sakmanaite, a future musical superstar, requested the Crystal Agency to create a few looks for her new website. Hailing from Lithuania, Jolita has a 4-octave vocal-range and is currently working on her new CD filled with R&B, pop, and dance tracks. In deciding on the direction of her musical image, Jolita drew inspiration from present and past pop icons Angelina Jolie, Paris Hilton, and Marilyn Monroe.
    Fashion stylist Tiffani Rae, hair stylist Darico Jackson, and make-up artist Uzmee Krakovszki collaborated on five looks for the beauty. Darico worked miracles on Jolita’s hair. Her mohawk hairstyle was the show stopper, which was picked up by trend blog; “TG Public Image:Beauty-Health-Life”. Darico achieved the rocker look by, “first crimping all of her hair using Sebastian Shaper Plus Hairspray and Sebastian Laminates Concentrate Gel, and then back combing and shaping the hair into a mohawk style”.
Jolita was extremely satisfied with the finished product and had this to say, “I want to thank Crystal Agency for gathering such a great team! I love the pictures, everyone did an awesome job!”
