“For most high school girls, prom is their red-carpet moment. It is months and sometimes years in the making,from finding the dream dress to choosing the right make up and, of course, perfecting the most important accessory of all—the hair! For the salon the big night is a big opportunity, too!
Make your salon the first stop when guests get ready for their big night out—and remember that moms make many of the prom-spending decisions, so promote prom services to all female clients who have teenage children or grandchildren.”

“This season is all about making hair look perfectly undone. Undone hair is more casual—and at times a whole lot sexier—than more severe or strict styles.”

"Up-styles can be very technical, and clients with long hair often do not feel like themselves when overly styled. Offer styles that build in simple replication with versatility--looks that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion and wardrobe."

"Easy, effortless updos can be found on runways and red carpets-but also on the everyday fashionista. Once reserved for formal events, the updo has transformed to represent easy-to-wear style that takes women from anywhere to everywhere in haute' fashion. Today, dressing up is all about effortless-looking style that transcends time and trends."

"Bright hues are not just for the young; they're for the young-at-heart who want to be noticed! For the client who says the color is too bold, add a simple nail art design on the accent finger. On toes, bright hues look best during sandal season-cheery and fun!"

"A French manicure is always popular for proms and weddings. Today many brides like to use a color to coordinate their French manicure with their bridesmaids' dresses. On-the-go moms like a French manicure in white, because they're always changing into different outfits for their different roles."
Mary Jo Zwirowski,Dashing Diva national education sales consultant trainer Tipz N Toez Naperville,IL |

"An updo with defined curls is perfect for weddings-whether your client is the bride, in the bridal party or a guest! For prom or any springtime formal, incorporate the defined curls into a half-up, half-down look, while beachy curls are great for less formal, but still special, occasions.
