Glamorous Waves

Channel your inner Hollywood with glamorous waves. This look is achieved by our hairstylists using a curling iron to create loose, voluminous waves, then they are brushed out gently for that signature Hollywood glam. Complete with a middle or deep side part and a touch of shine spray to finish the look!

Chic Braided Crown

For a look that’s effortlessly chic, consider a braided crown hairstyle. This involves braiding sections of hair along the sides of your head and securing them at the back to create a crown-like effect. You can choose a simple Dutch braid or incorporate fishtail braids for added texture and uniqueness. Finish off the look with loose waves framing your face for a soft vibe that’s perfect for prom night.

Sophisticated Ponytail

Elevate the classic ponytail into a sophisticated prom hairstyle. For an extra touch, wrap a section of hair around the base of the ponytail to conceal the elastic. This hairstyle is not only chic but also ensures you dance the night away without any hair in the way.
