Throwback: 3 Fresh Takes On ‘60s Hairstyles

While the Bay Area is currently known for all things modern, thanks to a hotbed of tech activity, it's worth looking back at the era that was a definite force in the smoke-filled streets of Haight-Ashbury, way before our time. The sweet ‘60s — ah yes, when living in S.F. was cheap, loving was easy, and hippie-chic style was a state of mind.

As an ode to our retro roots, we asked Festoon Salon tress temptress Kristy White to show us how to pull off three groovy, '60s-inspired hairstyles that are anything but dated. From a modern bouffant to an over-the-top braided coiff, get ready to pump The Mamas & the Papas and channel your inner love child while attempting these babies at home. And please, in true retro style, it's essential that you leave your inhibitions at the door.
