Amanda Seyfried’s ribbon curls evoke that perfect old Hollywood glamour that’s always in style. For a look that lasts into the late-late hours, set hair in hot rollers and touch up with a curling iron before gently brushing out into cascading waves.

Sometimes all you need is a sparkly hair accessory to show you’re having fun, like Milla Jovavich. Pull your hair up and slip on a bejeweled clip or barrette—the key is to keep your hair loose and tousled to show you’re in the festive mood.

No one does beachy waves better than Kate Hudson. Here, she shows us how to dress up the surfer style for a night out. After wrapping your hair around a clamp-less iron to get tons of tendrils, twist back a few pieces and pin in place just above your nape. Gather the rest into a low pony and set with a lightweight hairspray.

Blake Lively evokes plenty of hair envy and this glamorous blowout proves the point. It’s simple but striking. To get a similarly bouncy effect, blowdry with a paddle brush to eliminate any frizz, then curl just the ends for movement.

Although Julianne Hough’s intricate ‘do looks complicated, it doesn’t have to require eighty steps. Just braid back a side section of your hair and secure with pins. Gather the rest into a bun.

Take a cue from Gwen Stefani: don’t underestimate the power of a simple blow-out enhanced with major volume. Tease the under section of your hair before smoothing out the top with round brush for that added oomph.

1. Create a side part at the temple sectioning the hair as shown in step 1. This will keep it contained while you move on to step 2.

2. Start a French braid at the opposite temple and work your way around the head as shown.

3. Once you arrive at the back of your shoulder, transition the French braid into a regular braid that will fall in front of your shoulder.

4. Next, take down the clipped section and create a basic fishtail braid. Secure it with a small clear elastic band.

5. Take the fishtail and wrap it around to the back of your head. Tuck it into the French braid and pull the tail through (see photo 5).

6. The end of the fishtail braid that is exposed should be incorporated into the French braid by pinning it into place.

7. Soften and texturize this look by gently tugging on small sections of the braids.

8. For a more romantic look you can also remove a few hairs towards the hairline, finish with a fine mist of flexible hairspray.

 

Antonino Salon stylists have always been held to a high standard of advanced education and professionalism and we are very proud to announce that we’ve raised our own bar once again.

Teaming up with Vivienne Mackinder, one of the world’s finest hairdressers, Antonino Salon stylist’s recently completed a rigorous 17 week advanced hairdressing course. Each week stylists worked together watching web videos detailing very precise classic hairstyling techniques taught by the legendary hairdresser. During this innovative course, our stylists would recreate the “style of the week”, then submit it for review to Vivienne Mackinder herself. She would then personally rate their techniques in both technical and creative categories and offer individual advice.

“The beauty of the course is that it is designed for all stylists, whether they’ve been in the business for 20 years or 20 minutes”, said Anthony Marsalese, owner of Antonino Salon, adding “it pushed us out of our comfort zones and made us all realize that there is always room for improvement”.

Upcoming courses include advanced hair cutting for women and men, advanced hair coloring, additional styling techniques, including Antonino’s signature “French Blow dry” and a course on professionalism.

We are proud that all our stylists understand the importance of staying at the top of their game and they continue to learn the newest trends so they can pass them onto each of our guests.

These are just more reasons why people trust Antonino Salon with their beauty needs and why we continue to be  the best salon in town.
