Prom and wedding season is here!  These parties call for a hair upgrade, don’t you think?  If you normally wear your hair down and natural, there’s not better time to kick things UP a notch!  

Our stylists recently celebrated Earth Day by doing an updo styling workshop at Sunlight Studio and Heather Tabacchi photographed the work.  They knocked these looks out of the park!  Special thanks to Mt Lebanon Floral for the gorgeous accessories.  Loose at the nape of the neck with soft curls, or high on the crown with a vintage twist, these looks are perfect for whatever special occasion you’re celebrating!

Low & Soft

Today’s trend is boho chic with effortless style.  These updos might be low on the neck but they bring HIGH drama.  Loose tendrils around the face soften the look from the front, while intricate placement keeps things interesting from the back.  If you’re going for cool and chic, this is the look for you!

Braids are BIG!

The hair style of everyone’s childhood gets a grown up look in this new trend.  Incorporating a braid into an updo will add a whimsical, youthful look while still keeping the style extra special.  Tiffany created this look after adding volume at the crown to frame the face nicely.  The perfect combination of casual and class!

Macie added a french braid at the hairline to create visual interest and finished it off with a few soft tendrils and a floral head piece.

Traditional & Sophisticated

These looks might be traditional but they are anything but boring.  We love putting modern twists on the old status quo, and these styles are two great examples.  Thoughtful layering of the hair under the curls adds an unexpected surprise while an off-center floral headpiece aligns the look with today’s trends.

Throwback Inspired

This isn’t your 1960s beehive but it certainly takes us back to the good ol’ days.  This throwback look is having a resurgence and we’re definitely loving the vintage inspired vibes.  Perfect for those with really long hair, these looks add dimension and romance and were created by our very own Aaron and Angelina.
