Up the ’Do and Down the Aisle

What’s the last thing a bride needs? A bad hair day, or even worse — a boring hair day. Luckily, the stylists at Changing Heads Salon in Tappan are up to the challenge. “We love to take a risk, take a chance — to be unconventional,” states owner Bob Press. “Anything is possible. We’re here to give our brides options, something other than that typical updo or French twist.” The salon’s stylists specialize in hair designs that are versatile, wearable, and fresh. “This isn’t your everyday bridal hair,” Press notes. “It’s very modern, and yet personalized for what fits you.” So what’s in style for marriage-ready manes in 2010? “Look out for more height, texture, and geometric shapes rolled into one,” says Press.
