ReStyled:
Modern, Refreshed Looks

Get out of that time warp and become brand new. If it’s been ages since you last changed up your hairstyle, it’s surely time for a change. No matter the decade your hair is stuck in, it’s never too late modernize your look. You may think, “There is nothing I can do about my unmanageable hair.” or, “My hair is easy to maintain, so why deal with the hassle of changing it up.” Sadly, there is no quick fix, but with the aid of a hair professional, you can surely obtain a nearly maintenance-free new look. Give one of the FANTASTIC, highly educated stylist at House of Hair Salon and Spa a chance, and we will make sure to give you a style that reflect your inner beauty, and bring your mane into 2016.

Forgo the hot rollers, and transition to the modernized rollerset technique, which rolls the hair out instead of inward. This version allows for more volume and a longer lasting revamped style. Another option is the rodset, which is similar in many ways, but utilizes differentiating sizes of rods depending upon the tightness of curl you desire. But if straight hair is more your style, get your hair professionally relaxed. When a relaxer is not optional, employ a flat iron. With any style change make sure to get a trim with any straightening treatment to keep it growing effectively and prevent breakage to give it a bouncier texture. Add a light highlighter to bring out your skin tone, which will brighten up your all around appearance.

During the 1960’s and ‘70’s extremely long, flat hair was rampant, but today’s stylings can offer much more variety and dimension.  A barrel iron is perfect to complete the process with a little wave, and rid you of that rough, brittle consistency. Layers are key to provide the illusion of fullness. For mature locks make sure to use a product like Aveda Color Conserve Shampoo and Conditioner to bring out the natural shades and a natural bristle brush to keep your natural oils flowing; otherwise, your color may appear flat and aged..


The ‘80’s were a spectacular time of exploration, which revolutionized the capabilities of hair design, but it could be time to revisit your look. Everybody loves a little volume, but to pull off a more professional, casual appearance a new cut and style may be in store. A short cut should give you that edge that you are seeking. Leave a modest amount of length on the bangs to allow for a little diversity in style. Shorter hair is always better with some texture, so grab a box of Aveda Texturizing Crème or Shaping Wax. For better results reverse your natural hair flow, which will restrict it from laying flat. Choose a bright color to further emphasize your style characteristics.

The braid was big in the 1990’s and is still going strong today. The more braids the better! Big braids with smaller ones in between quickly reinvent your braid styling. Or, leave a bit of slack in your braids to allow for more mobility for a loose bun. The side braid is, also, growing in popularity, as well as horizontal side braids with a French braid done the middle, which both expand on the concept of braiding. For an even more creative look do the horizontal braid or middle interlocked braids, which give you similar hair fashion. Use a bottle of Aveda Smooth Infusion Style-Prep Straightener or any one of the other softening Smooth Infusion products.
