Which New Year's Eve style would you recommend for a Vegas woman? Well, depending on what you're wearing, of course, there are many options. As a general rule of thumb, choose a style that looks effortless. If you're going with your hair up, think Charlize Theron; down, think Gisele waves. You never want to look as if you've spent all day at the "beauty parlor." Any tips for helping a style last throughout the night? If you're wearing a curl or wave, set your hair in that formation right after curling and let it cool; your hair will memorize the shape better and last twice as long. A bit of dry shampoo or styling texture powder added to your style after it's complete will create a gritty texture that lasts all night long. Just be sure to top it off with a light shine spray, because it will dull down your natural shine. What are some of the top hair trends we should be on the lookout for in 2015? Effortless will be in for a long time to come. Short, long, it doesn't matter—just effortless. I can tell you what style will for sure be out, and that's the strong, dip-dyed ombré color you see everywhere. A softer version with some highlights at the top is already taking over, but ombré may become a punch line in 2015. a menu of 16 blow-out styles starting at $35 a pop, as well as a range of makeup services (some with Swarovski accents) that'll be sealed with complimentary layers of topcoat barrier. 6670 S.
