Hello, ladies & gents,

I'm going to be attending a semi-formal holiday party in a few weeks and am thinking of having my hair put up/styled at the salon (since it will also coincide with my "time to get it trimmed" visit).  I am looking for some kind of semi-formal (as opposed to formal/prom) updo (with a picture to show the hairstylist), and quite frankly, this is the best place to look. :)

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

P.S. -- Just a reminder, my hair is down to my waist. :)

I'm not sure what a semi-formal hairdo would look like, but I'd imagine that braids fall somewhere between casual and formal.  How about one of the styles from this site:

The Long Hair Loom's styling station central has a lot of different styles you can look at. They're not all semi-formalish, but I'm sure you'll find some inspiration.  :)

You could ask the stylist for a simple French twist when you visit the salon.

This style works great for casual get-togethers, business meetings, all the way up to formal dances. It's classic, so it can be worn for any occasion.  :)

Thanks for the suggestions, everybody!

And Happy Holidays!

Quite welcome, bio_muse. And same to you.  :)
