It’s hot out and the last thing you want to be doing is blasting your hair with a blowdrier in the mornings. Summer is one of the best times to experiment with a variety of updos, chignons, brains and other summer hairstyles that keep hair out of your face and still look ultra chic pool side, beach side and during summer date nights.

At Zone Hair Gallery, we can’t help but love these ultra stylish, youthful and easy to do summer hairstyles — from short to long hair updos, we have you covered to beat the heat!

Messy and Chic Braided Chignon

This look really adds elegance to any outfit you will wear — paired with a bold lip or smokey eyes and you are done! And the best thing? It takes about five minutes to do. This stylish chignon spices up a boring old bun by adding some height at the crown and incorporating a braid, like Hilary Duff did.

The Headband — Styled to Perfection

Turn a two-second look into something more elegant with the right headband and the right amount of messiness.

The Confident High Braid

This is not a look for wall-flowers — only the bold need apply for this head-turning look. To pull it off, don’t focus on the braid being perfect. Braid the entire tail, then loosen it in the middle by tugging on the sides.

Zone Hair Gallery is a highly rated Vancouver hair salon located at 528 Homer Street, in the heart of the downtown area and close to Gastown.
