Across the Bay Area, holiday hair styling is literally on the rise. As the economy continues to stumble and retail sales plummet ever lower, fashion-forward clients are realizing a higher calling and demanding the updo. By turning to hair as an accessory, women are discovering how to freshen their holiday party wardrobe without breaking the bank.

When a client isn’t sure which style to select, Wagner urges her to consider the first impression she hopes to make. For a look that exudes refined elegance, he recommends a popular style such as the classic chignon; for flashbulb glamour, he urges an open mind.
Tribeca’s resident niche stylists thrive under such creative license. Each focuses primarily on color, cut or hair design, and Tribeca’s resident upstyling “guru” Martin Parsons is reveling in the unique coiffures he’s now commissioned to create. An artistic professional, he sees the main goal of the party hair updos as attracting positive attention. He achieves this aim by manipulating hair into soft waves, flowing curls and creative tousles.
“If your holiday hair does not attract attention, it hasn’t done its job,” he says. “Nothing makes a woman feel sexier than a beautiful updo that elicits countless compliments from friends and strangers.”
Be sure to make your party hair updo appointments now for the upcoming holiday season.
