 The Top Three Hairstyles for 2010 Fringe Benefits: Getting bangs is a quick way to update your 'do, but remember that maintaining your new fringe takes time and money.
Bangs need to be trimmed every 2 to 3 weeks, depending on their shape. Mini bangs, for example, will need more frequent trimmings while long, layered bangs allow for more time between visits to your favorite salon.

And for those who want to get bangs but can't bear to commit, try Warren Tricomi's Instant Bangs, clip in bang extensions made of 100% human hair and available in 14 shades (although bangs can also be customized by you colorist to perfectly match your hair hue). Read the article... |
The Inside Scoop: Our Editor gets Fringe and More at Marianne Strokirk
 The exclusive brand and international flare of Marianne Strokirk Salons has been featured in the pages of the hottest magazines from Vogue to Allure. And even though Marianne Strokirk Salon's stylists boast a "who's who" clientele in their little black books, they exude not a hint of elitism. This stylish team is warm and welcoming.
I headed to Marianne Strokirk's River North salon for a total makeover including a Spa Manicure and Spa Pedicure (exclusive services to the River North location), and a Haircut, Hair Color and Style. Tucked inside the Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago, the salon's signature marquee makes it an easy find for anyone seeking cutting-edge style.

New PrettyCity Spot: Ethan James Salon in the West Loop
 In the West Loop we discovered a unique salon that seamlessly combines the best of modern and vintage beauty, Ethan James Salon.
With impeccable taste, owners Linda and Jim designed a space that is chic and crisp; think crystal chandeliers, mosaic tile walls and cabinetry that envelopes the rooms, paired with antique, damask couches and exposed brick walls.
But while the space is gorgeous, it's the services that will really have you feeling pretty; enjoy a mini-facial while receiving a scalp massage and hair masque. Additionally, Ethan James Salon showcases some of Chicago's hottest talent in the hair biz as well as some of the most unique product offerings from Voluspa candles to Philip B. to Unite and Paul Mitchell (The Color) and beyond.
