Welcome to our first edition of Celeb Styles magazine. We have worked hours to
bring you interesting information about hair and beauty – and because we just
love celebrities we’ve added quite a few celeb looks and profiles. Looking back
at some of their styles on pages 44-47 it’s hard to believe that RiRi and Victoria
Beckham have changed their hairstyles so many times. There is no better feeling
than leaving your hairdresser with a brand new hairdo and let’s face it, we look at
celebs for inspiration – which is how Celeb Styles was born. The fabulous talented
team working on Celeb Styles guarantee you an enjoyable read every two months.
We were honoured enough to get local Catherine Grenfell and the gorgeous Fix,
both from 5FM, to share their hair and beauty secrets with us in our first edition.
Until next time....
With love from the
Celeb Styles TEAM!

Angela Bekiaris
After completing a BA Journalism degree, I was ready to start doing what I loved most - writing. With broadcast journalism being
my passion at the time, I was lucky enough to start working as a researcher on a top local talk show. My passion for writing and the
industry in general had me looking for more, and I found where I had to be when I was hired as an entertainment journalist on one
of SA’s top weekly magazines, People. As the years passed, and I made my way up to Deputy Editor, I knew that magazines was where I had to be,
which is why I enjoyed an amazing 10 years with the publication. But the time came to start a family, and now I get to enjoy my passion from home….
being a freelance writer has allowed me to enjoy motherhood and the beauty of journalism. Talking about beauty… this industry has not only taught me
about crazy deadlines and hot, breaking news, but about fashion, hair and beauty – and how important it is, for ourselves, to look good on the outside.
Thanks to our favourite celebs, we have women who inspire us to look and feel better every day... And great magazines like Celeb Styles to showcase it.
After all, the way we look on the outside plays a role on the way we feel on the inside.

After qualifying in Journalism and Print Media, I started my
career working in newspapers and magazines before heading to radio as
the public relations co-ordinator for four top South African stations. I soon
realised that life without writing was like Darth Vader without the mask so
took the plunge five years ago and got back in the game, this time coupling
my love for writing with my love for photography. My claim to fame isn’t my
work ethos though, rather it’s my ability to experiment with hundreds of
different hair colours throughout the years without ever needing a wig.
Hubby calls me ‘the cat lady’, even though I don’t have any felines myself.
I’m a staunch animal lover, determined dreamer, hopeless at parallel
parking, mom, winner of World’s Best Wife Award, balloon phobic and
sugar-coated idealist. I believe true beauty is in the eyes of the beholder but a swig of mascara
and lip gloss never hurt anyone.

I was born and raised in Durban. After moving to the city of gold, I quickly
realised that life was not all about slops, bikinis and how long you surf the
wave. My modeling background saw me develop a love and passion for
magazines and I was lucky to be offered a great opportunity at one of the
biggest media houses in the country. I have the craziest and thickest curly
mop; growing up I hated it but over th
