This spring’s street styles are all about a bold new perspective on classic techniques with a deconstructed twist — thinksubtle yet intricate braids, undone curls and feisty ponytails.

Sassoon’s new Blow & Style is not your average blow-dry. Our expertly trained team now offers a full menu of blow-drying and styling services designed to either subtly enhance or totally transform your hair.

You can choose from our extensive blow-dry menu, ranging from the sleek Signature Sassoon blowout or a captivating Glam Wave, to a more deconstructed Disheveled blowout or bohemian-chic Beach Wave.

FESTIVAL BRAID

There’s nothing hotter or chicer this spring than braids: Whether you’re going for a lived-in French braid, a Coachella-inspired fishtail or a multiple braid flair, this style adds intricacy and gorgeous structure to any look. Braids are perfect for the low-maintenance hair devotee; they’re out of the way, and effortlessly festival-chic. To keep the braid modern, tie the last two inches with an invisible band.

Pro tip: For your best braid, work with second-day (or even third-day) hair — the natural oils and texture of your hair will increase the staying power of your braid! Rub the braid between your thumb and forefinger to give it more of a disheveled festival feel.

POLISHED WAVE

Pageant curls are out. All hail the polished wave: With an elegant side part and timeless Veronica Lake-style waves, this look transitions perfectly from the boardroom to dinner, and everywhere in between.

The goal of this hairstyle is to achieve an elegant wave: Take small sections in a medium barrel curling iron, set each curl with a flat clip, and let cool to lock in the wave. Then, brush it out and form the curls into this full, sophisticated style. Pro tip: the lower the part, the better!

DISHEVELED PONY

This isn’t your mother’s ponytail—this classic, pulled-back style has gotten a huge refresh and is no longer just for the gym or running errands. Structured, voluminous ponytails have become a statement that combines city slicker vibe with a downtown edge. With this ponytail, serious volume and texture give your mane a bold new vibe.

The key to this style is texturizing spray: dampen hair from roots to ends with product, then scrunch your hair using your fingers and air-dry. Pull the hair straight back into a loose pony and secure with an invisible band. Lightly tug at the hair in the crown to complete the disheveled look. Pro tip: Avoid a drooping ponytail by looking up and lifting your chin skyward as you tie the ponytail
