Hair Today, Hair Tomorrow
Stylists are drawing inspiration from the past while making their cuts feel entirely new.
WHAT'S IN: Fashion designers aren't the only ones mixing vintage with modern for fall. Hairstylists are combing the archives for inspiration, updating dos from the 1960s and 1970s with the latest cutting and coloring techniques. The result? Glamorous layered locks with amazing versatility. Vidal Sassoon salons are getting back to their roots with asymmetric cuts that go from pin-straight edgy to that just-rolled-out-of-bed look. For working women, Salon Luiz stylist Liz Ouadani suggests a chin-length chunky bob with layered color highlights. It can look well-groomed by day and flipped or teased for come-hither nights.
HOW TO WEAR IT: Thickening spray, volumizing mousse, and lifter spray gel can completely transform these cuts to suit the occasion. But don't leave the salon without a lesson to make sure you create a hair do instead of a hair don't.
WHERE TO GET IT: For a rad hair day, try Vidal Sassoon Hair Salon, 14 Newbury Street, Boston, 617-536-5496. Salon Luiz is a favorite of working women, 115 Newbury Street, 617-262-5840. Or just walk down memory lane with your favorite stylist.
