For clients with shorter lengths, ponytails can still be a great option, as shown here. The pony is still volumized, and the front pieces give the overall look more depth.

Ah, the ponytail: an age-old answer to second- (or third-...or fourth-) day hair. Many clients and stylists categorize the ponytail as a quick style when they're running out the door, at the gym, or simply want their hair out of their face.

But these 20 stylists have shown that the ponytail can be so much more. From power looks to piece-y textures and intricate bridal ponies, this style has pushed its way to the top tier of updos. We've gathered 20 of our favorite ponytails from Instagram to inspire you to create your own. And when you do, remember to #ModernSalon for a chance to be featured on our page.
