Special occasions are-well-special.  They usually involve getting to see plenty of people, and of course getting dressed up!  Equally as fun, however, is dressing up your hair.  More often than not, special occasions are well documented with tons of photos so you have no choice but to look your best.  Whether it’s a formal dance, a wedding, or a family reunion, your hair should make a statement! You don’t know the importance of the perfect hair style to compliment your dress until your hair dresser creates a 10 inch bow out of your hair and calls it a day.  Sound like personal experience? You are correct.  Shout-out to my senior prom hair massacre….

Regardless, your hair can transform your entire appearance and compliment any look you are going for- sophisticated, flirty, romantic, vintage- you name it! One of Verve 360′s best services include styling hair for important or formal events.

Here are two of the hottest special occasion hair styles; though dramatically different, they both act as the perfect accessory to any outfit.

1.  Faux-bob

This is one style where you can have the best of both worlds.  Many girls crave a short style from time to time but can’t muster the guts to give their locks the ultimate hack job.  This ‘do is the solution.  A faux bob gives the illusion of a whimsical and completely vintage inspired look without making you sacrifice your length permanently.  Think of it as a temporary alter ego for your tresses.

2. Down and Curly

Interestingly enough, more and more people are opting for just the opposite of an up-do.  Many ladies are rocking free-flowing, loose, romantic curls instead.  If your hair doesn’t hold a curl from a hot iron well, this probably isn’t your best bet.  However, if your mane has been cooperative in the past, this is a great look for a multitude of events.  It instantly brings class and sophistication to any style without looking too done up.
