Holiday Trends 2012 - Eyes, Lips, Blowout, Updo

The holiday season is here again and party invitations are pouring in.  Let the stylists at Bella Bethesda Salon help you add those extra special touches that will be sure to spread holiday cheer! 

Updos aren’t just for proms and weddings.  Treat yourself this holiday season with a special up style or blowout before your holiday party.  Bella’s makeup artists can finalize your festive look with a smoky eye or bold red lip.  Our stylists will give your hair and makeup staying power that’s sure to last all night.

Men's Grooming Lifestyle, Part III

Try a shorter, looser version of the classic pompadour for a modern, wearable style.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Soft style and edges lend themselves to an easy-going feel. This look is perfect for creative types in need of looking a bit more buttoned-up, without wearing a button-down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thick, wavy textures are best managed at shorter lengths. For best results, style with a medium hold gel or pomade while hair is still slightly damp.

Men's Grooming Lifestyle, Part II

The not-too-short sides and top are the perfect balance between college student and professional.  This look is sure to impress at your first job out of college. 

 

You’re never too young to start rocking the latest trends.  Short, rounded sides and a longer top give this style attitude.

 

Leave some length on thick, wavy hair for a casual, laid-back feel.  Style with gel or curl cream to enhance natural texture.   

Men's Grooming Lifestyle

At Bella Bethesda men’s looks are an art. From sporty to spiky, faux hawks to formal we have a team of stylists who excel at precision cuts and contemporary looks. Looking for that perfect gift for the man in your life? Try our Phyto men’s kits, now available during the holiday season!

Closely cropped sides and a slightly longer, textured top make this the quintessential all-American men’s cut.  Experiment with length and texture on top to change things up.

Sun-kissed highlights add dimension to this textured cut.  Style with a matte paste to enhance this slightly disheveled look.

Keep the length you like and make mom happy when you’re home for the holidays with this look. Hair is out of the eyes, but still college approved.

For Those Who Love Long Hair, Part III

If your job demands a conservative look, but you’re more adventurous at heart, try a short and slightly jagged side-swept bang to give long hair a trendy feel.

For a soft, romantic look, keep both texture and style loose. A feminine accessory both enhances delicacy and makes a statement.

 

This sleek up style transitions perfectly from day to night. To achieve, simply gather hair at the nape and secure with an elastic, then twist and pin sections.

Bella Bethesda Knocks it Out of the Ballroom

On Sunday, October 28, 2012, Bella Bethesda Salon attracted over 250 guests at the Ballroom in Bethesda to participate in an evening of celebration in support of Look Good Feel Better. This year, Hair to Heal featured live entertainment, delicious food and drink, a large silent auction, and an exciting raffle! The fabulous Chilli Amar from Mix 107.3 emceed the night.

 

Guests enjoyed the opportunity to mingle with friends and family before viewing the much anticipated hair show from the Bella Bethesda stylists. Runway styles were inspired by the natural elements - earth, air, water and fire.  Check back on our Facebook page this week to see all of the looks.  There was something fun for everyone at this year’s Hair to Heal event and we hope to see you all back at our next bi-annual show in 2014!

A special thank you to all those who participated in and supported this event;  your generosity has contributed to another successful and exciting Bella Bethesda fundraising affair, raising over $3500 towards the charity at hand.

For Those Who Love Long Hair, Part II

Long, bouncy layers add modern style while maintaining a professional feel. Say goodbye to the monotony of pulling your hair back every day at the office!

Adding accent color to your natural tone can add warmth, coolness, lightness or darkness. This look is easily tailored and perfect for the color shy!

 

Pieced out bangs and textured layers give a sultry vibe to this long hairstyle. If your hair is not naturally wavy, wrap large sections around the outside of a curling iron to achieve this loose effect.
