Street Savvy

The up-to-the-minute trends and future forecasts are vital to the fashion and beauty world. It can be said, that fashion designers, magazines, and salons decide on a systematic basis what is hot and what is not. Lately we have seen a shift in this normal process and the industry is seeing more people flaunting their own creativity and originality.  Because of this shift, the magazines, fashion designers, and salons are taking notice about what is stylish on the streets.


Not everyone is a celebrity; most people don’t have hours on end or a dedicated staff to produce their look, which is why at the very least you should find a great salon! Achieving a look you might have seen or want to try might not be the best idea to do on your own. There has been a spike in people coloring and cutting their hair on their own time, followed by a spike of horror stories following the at home tries that flood the internet.












Things as simple as a hair style are also best done by a stylist. Short cuts are tremendously contagious right now. A short cut allows for a variety of looks including: short and sexy, sassy and spikey, funky and punky, glam and gorgeous or cute and care- free. It is great for most face shapes, all ages, and is extremely low in maintenance.



Another titanic trend right now is braids and pony tails. Braids can be tight and slicked back, used as a head band, over the shoulder and messy, wrapped into bun, added in smaller version to sections of the hair, and a great way to throw back your bangs. Some of the styles we are seeing on celebs aren’t as easy as one would think! Certain sections and special pinning must be done to achieve these looks, and most importantly the right products must be used. If you try these at home you could end up spending hours only to result in disaster. Taking a trip to the salon for a simple style can be easy on your coin purse and will teach you how to properly put together your pony.
 
 
















Girls love curls, it’s a known fact, but getting what you want is sometimes unattainable. Curling irons, flat irons, perms, rollers, all can give you a different type of curl; tight tendrils, wavy and whimsical, round and romantic, or crazy and courageous. Knowing how to get each, which products to use, and which tool is best can be confusing and overwhelming. New tools are coming out constantly claiming at home results as seen on celebrities, but the truth is more than one stylist probably worked on that celebrity’s hair. Unless you’re Ursula from the Little Mermaid and have six arms, your look you want can’t be done alone. There are tools you can use at home that do give you some curled looks you love like, Twiddle Stics, but they are best demonstrated by a stylist to show the proper usage and technique.
 











Pucci has stylists with the knowledge and know-how to complete and teach any look you like. Everything from products from Oribe, Bumble and Bumble, and Twiddle Stics are used and available at the salon. Other avenues of beauty are also conducted every day such as: nails, make-up, and skin care procedures.  Street is what savvy, but copying the looks could become a complete mess. Learn the looks before you leap in, and remember a stylist always shows you how to be a show-stopper.
