A stylist whose work you've seen in countless magazines (on celebrities from Gwyneth Paltrow to Miley Cyrus), Josh (and his team of associates) is giving free styling consultations this Thursday and Friday at Justin Herman Plaza.

He's here to help ...
It's the latest stop on the John Frieda Style On Site Tour, co-sponsored by BCBG Max Azria to help men and women choose which styles and products best suit for their hair and face shape.
Each person gets 15 minutes of professional expertise about how they can have better hair -- whether that means not using conditioner or whether you'd look better with Katy Perry-style bangs. (Hint: Computers will be set up to order an array of John Frieda products, though there's no obligation to buy anything; the line is also available at most drugstores.)
"Most women wear their hair too short," he said during a recent chat here at SFUnzipped HQ. "The soccer mom bob does not need to happen."
He also beseeches women to rethink twisting their back in an elastic band -- what he refers to as the dreaded "gym bun." Instead, he showed me a quick alternative for hair that's on the longer side -- the messy side ballerina bun. It starts with gathering the hair into a low side ponytail and twisting it clockwise until it starts coiling into itself. Then, secure it with a few bobby pins and voila -- instant chic. I have to admit it took me about a dozen tries before I got the hang of it, but it's become my new favorite summer 'do.
His basic message is: a little effort can result in major changes. So if you've been thinking about how to update your 'do, do stop on by and say hello.
Free; 15-minute consultations from 10-6pm Thursday, June 3; 11a-7 Friday, June 4, @ Justin Herman Plaza, SF.
