In fashion and beauty, everything is cyclical. Hairstyles are no exception. In
beauty school, that is one of the reasons you don’t just study the current trends
but also learn techniques to create a variety of vintage looks that your
clients are sure to request one day. Here are some the retro looks to
practice at your hair design academy so you can deliver these classics
to your clients.
Long Hair with Center Parts
Center parts have fallen out of grace in recent years in favor of deep
side parts, but the center look is making a comeback. The right way to
wear a center part is with long and straight hair in the style of 60s
hippie trendsetters. Focus on removing any frizz and curl from your clients’
hair to give them this look, and be sure to give it a glossy finish. Thanks
to straighteners and other styling tools and products available today,
people wearing this look can get the straight hair the fashion-forward
60s hippies could only dream of.
Micro Bangs
Micro bangs have their roots in the 40s and 50s. They were the favored
look of pin-up girls, and they are sometimes referred to as Bettie Page
cuts, in honor of the pin-up girl who made them famous. These short bangs
are definitely a striking look, so make sure your client is ready to rock
them with confidence. Micro bangs can be worn with bobs, but they look
best with longer hair, which gives them balance.
The Rachel
In the 1990s, the Rachel was one of the most sought-after cuts. They get
their name from Jennifer Aniston’s character on
Friends, who wore this style for many seasons of the show. Once the ultimate in
dated cuts, the Rachel is back with its signature layers. The modern update
to the Rachel usually has softened layers that are less choppy and blunt
than its inspiration.
