In preparation for the summer, this week on Priscilla’s Picks I’ll be sharing with you a three-part Summer Essentials installment!  To kick if off, this Summer Essentials segment is about summer hair trends. The two most popular hair trends this season are the lob, otherwise known as the “long bob,” and balayage highlights.

Many women have been saying goodbye to their long locks and saying hello to the long bob hair trend. This shorter hairstyle is a great way to welcome the warm summer air while looking super stylish. Additionally, in lieu of ombre, consider the more sophisticated and natural look of balayage highlights. Balayage allows you to go for a subtle, lighter hair color shade without the upkeep of foil highlights.

Wondering what salon in Philadelphia specializes in these trendy hairstyles? Well look no further than Andre Richard Salon in Center City! The atmosphere at ARS is both professional and charming. While the whole ARS team was instrumental to my pleasant experience, I was specifically appreciative of Rachid, one of ARS’s master hairstylists who I had the pleasure of seeing. Rachid worked with me to decide on a length and hair color that would look best with my style and skin tone. Rachid, who has been a professional hair stylist for many years, was personable and very accommodating. I was most amazed by his artistic ability to paint on the balayage highlights in such a way that framed my face and gave an almost natural dimensional look to my hairstyle. Check out the before and after photos!
