BLRock Pictures - Ken Paves walking to his hair salon at Robertson Blvd in Beverly Hills.
Ken Pavés (pronounced PAY-ves) is a hair stylist known for his work with Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Lopez, and a variety of other high profile clients.
Paves was born in the Detroit suburb of New Baltimore, Michigan as the youngest of three children of Helen (who is of Portuguese and Filipino descent and Gary Paves. Pavés credits his mother Helen for his entry into the world of hair and fashion, saying that when she dressed up "she turned almost into a superhero. He came out of the closet to his parents before going to school.[citation needed] He graduated in 1994 from a cosmetology school in St. Clair Shores.
After school, he pleaded to be the assistant star stylist Oribe in Miami — a job that paid USD$75 a week — and relocated there with longtime partner Fred Geiger. He would moonlight doing strippers' hair until 4 A.M. When these clients showed up in Oribe's shop during regular business hours, Oribe learned that Pavés could do "big, beautiful hair".

Pavés studied hair design at Vidal Sassoon Academy and Toni & Guy Institute. He traveled with other celebrity hair stylists during tours of Europe where Pavés created hairstyles in conjunction with couture collections for Versace, Valentino and others. However, he met his most regular client, Jessica Simpson, in 1998 when she hired him as the stylist for her imminent album cover.
