Summer marks the season of glamor, glitz and getaways. Whether you’re looking a bridal, wedding guest, prom or graduation look, we’ve got a laid back option that is sure to turn heads. “This is a showstopper for any client looking to turn heads.  It highlights the face while creating body and interest in the back. We love it because it can be dressed up or down and is a quick style to create,” says Anna Peters, Sam Villa ArTeam Member and owner of  re:TREAT Color + Hair Design Studio  @annas_hair_retreat. 

Bridal styles have a long lifecycle than most other trends. As we see a return to grand weddings and intimate affairs, one trend that isn’t going anywhere this season is clean texture. Caralee Pridemore, Sam Villa Ambassador and Founder of Sweetly Pinned @caraleestyles, says, “Whether a bride is going for romantic, dramatic or boho vibe, it’s all about clean texture this spring.”  The key to getting this look and keeping it in place is frizz-free smoothing shampoos and conditioners, thermal round brushes, and curling and straightening irons are key to creating a high polished, smooth texture. “Brides love the high shine, it’s something they don’t usually take the time to do themselves, so it makes them feel exceptional and beautiful…. plus, it looks amazing in photos!” explains Pridemore, who shares how to create a clean textured boho bridal bun.

As we head into a new season, Anna Peters, Sam Villa ArTeam Member and owner of  re:TREAT Color + Hair Design Studio  @annas_hair_retreat inspires us to switch up our routines and find practices that help us grow.
