Okay, this is different for every single icon I make, I usually don't make them exactly alike, so this probably won't work on all icons, but you can try, of course. (:
1. Let's start with the photo; http://i38.tinypic.com/5km35w.jpg . Now crop it so you're pleased. I usually take cropping by impulse, and the feel of it. But now I just cropped her pretty basically. No weird angles or anything - usually the simple is the best. Yeah, keep that in mind throughout the tutorial.
2. Now I do the coloring, which is usually the most important on my icons. The photo I've chosen is pretty plain, so we'll do a simple coloring on it, to make it a little bit more colorful. Start by making a new layer and filling it with #FFDE00, set it to soft light at 100%.
a) layer>>new adjustment layer>>selective color. Match my settings:
reds: -100, 0, +100, +100.
yellows: -30, 0, +20, 0.
whites: +100, 0, -100, 0.
neutrals: +50, 0, -60, +20.
b) Another selective color layer. Match my settings again:
reds: -40, 0, +20, +20.
yellows: -30, 0, -30, -30.
neutrals: +40, 0, -15, +10.
c) layer>>new adjustment layer>>color balance, match my settings:
midtones: +20, +11, -10.
highlights: 0, 0, +35.
shadows: +7, -2, -12.
d) And yet another selective color layer.
reds: -20, 0, +5, -10.
yellows: -30, 0, -30, -20.
whites: +100, 0, -100, 0.
neutrals: +20, 0, -15, 0.
3. That wraps up the coloring, your layers should look something like this.
Now put all these layers in a folder on top of your main image.
4. And then there's the textures. I don't put textures on all of my icons, because sometimes they just look better without it. On this icon though, I feel like we should have a few light textures. Here they are:

3
Now place them so you're happy. Your layers should look like
this now.
My result:
