Aurelio Salon Updo Featured in 4 Hair Industry Publications
We are proud to share that a creative updo created at Aurelio Salon & Spa in Howell, NJ was featured in four leading hair industry publications — a meaningful recognition of the technical artistry and creative vision our team brings to every service.
The style — described as a “hip-do” — was highlighted for its ability to appeal to trend-conscious clients while remaining elegant enough for special occasions like weddings and prom. The look combined easy-to-do braids in a wispy, whimsical fashion to create an edgy yet refined updo that stands apart from more traditional pinned styles. When paired with bold fashion color, the style makes an even stronger statement.
How to Achieve This Look
The technique begins on dry hair by determining the face-framing pieces — typically the hair that falls in front of the ears — and sectioning them away to be left out or styled separately. A small amount of professional shine crème is worked through the mid-lengths to ends to add shimmer and soft hold to fine or flyaway strands.
The crown is lightly teased for height — the amount of teasing determines how much volume the updo will have, so this step is adjusted based on the desired result. The remaining hair is smoothed back and divided into three sections. Each section is individually braided and secured. The left braid is pulled over to the right and tucked behind the base of the right braid, secured with bobby pins. The right braid repeats in the opposite direction. The middle braid is worked underneath both and secured at the nape, with the ends tucked in and pinned. A firm-hold finishing spray locks everything in place and keeps the style looking clean throughout the event.
