Prom Hairstyles: 1920?s Inspired Glam

Prom will be here before you know it so you?d better plan your prom hairstyle before it?s too late. If you plan on doing your own hair you?ll need to make sure you have all the supplies you need and if you?re booking with a stylist make sure you?ve already made the appointment to avoid disappointment. You also need to actually find a prom hairstyle?but not just any hairstyle! You need the perfect hairstyle for your special night.

Today I want to show you a video I found that demonstates how to create an incredible 1920?s inspired prom hairstyle. It was apparently inspired by Katherine Heigl and is the perfect prom updo if you?re looking to go glam.

Pay close attention to how the stylist uses the curling iron if you plan on doing this style yourself or are having a friend help (have them watch the video too!) If a stylist is doing your hair tell them you want Katherine Heigl?s chignon?and print off the picture below.

Cheap Blowouts

If you like to regularly get your hair blown out, or just need it styled for a special event but don?t want to shell out a wad of cash for a blow out try looking for cosmetology schools in your area.

Get Your Hair Cut by Top Salons for Free

I came across this great idea from stylist Louis Lacari at his blog. He suggests checking with top end salons in your area for their class nights. These nights are dedicated to giving the assistant stylists the practice to hone their skills. All the cutting is overseen by the salon?s experienced stylists so you needn?t worry about getting a shabby cut.

This is an awesome idea if you?ve been dying to score a hot hair cut from a star stylist but can?t afford their price tag. Many salon assistants extend their training by a year or longer under the tutelage of a specific stylist so getting your hair cut by their assistant is the next best thing to the real thing.
