New York stylist Orlando Pita explains his technique for styling hair and why it's worth it to spend extra money on a good hairstyle. Pita charges $800 for a haircut. "Your hair is one of the first things people notice about you," he said. "You can spend a lot on clothes, but you wear your hair every day."
Pita discusses hairstyle options with CBSNews.com's Melissa Castellanos.
Pita styles hair for celebrities including Madonna, Janet Jackson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Julianne Moore.

The tools Pita uses to create styles which have graced magazine covers such as the Italian, French, British, and American editions of Vogue, W, Harper's Bazaar, and Allure.
Style #1: Wavy -- Pita wraps sections of hair around the styling tool to create soft curls.
Pita loosens the curls and voila! -- bouncy waves.
Wavy locks are a good basic hairstyle to start with.
Style #2: Half-Up -- Pita says not to pull back too much hair so there is still length on the shoulders.
Finish with a little bit of hairspray.
Style #3: Pony Tail -- Pita teases the hair underneath to add some lift.
Then secures the hair with an elastic and wraps a section of hair around to mask it.
