Salon and Spa is all about embracing the southern charm and school spirit that comes with being a part of the Crimson Tide community. If it is your first year moving down here, whether it be for school, a new chapter of life, or just to experience all Tuscaloosa has to offer, we've got the tips and tricks you need. Check out these "Bamafied" hair tips to keep you looking fabulous, no matter where you are.




Game Day Glam


Game days in Tuscaloosa are more than just football; they're a fashion event. Achieve that perfect game day look with these tips:


🔴 Crimson and White Accents:

  • Incorporate Crimson Tide colors into your hairstyle. Think red ribbons, white hair clips, or even a fun headband. 

🔴 Voluminous Curls: 

  • Big, bouncy curls are a staple in Southern style. Use a large barrel curling iron and finish with a strong-hold hairspray to keep your curls intact all day.

🔴 Half-Up Styles: 

  • Keep your hair out of your face while still looking cute with a half-up, half-down style. Add a bow or a scrunchie in Alabama colors for that extra touch.



Everyday Elegance


Even when it's not game day, Tuscaloosa ladies love to look their best. Here are some everyday hair tips to keep you looking polished:


🔴 Silk Press:

  • For a sleek and shiny look, try a silk press. This technique will leave your hair looking smooth and frizz-free.

🔴 Protective Styles:

  • Consider protective styles like braids or twists to keep your hair healthy and low-maintenance.

🔴 Hydration is Key: 

  • The Alabama heat can be tough on hair. Use a hydrating mask once a week to keep your locks moisturized and strong.




Southern Belle Updos


For special occasions, nothing beats a classic Southern updo. Here are some styles to try:


🔴 Classic Chignon:

  • This elegant bun is perfect for weddings, sorority events, or any formal occasion.

🔴 Loose Braided Updo:

  • Add a romantic touch to your look with a loose braided updo. It's soft, feminine, and perfect for any event.

🔴 Ponytail with a Twist:

  • Elevate a simple ponytail by adding a twist or braid. It's a quick way to look chic and put together.



Balayage for a Sun-Kissed Look


Balayage is a popular choice for those looking to add some natural-looking highlights to their hair. Here in Tuscaloosa, we love a sun-kissed look that complements our southern tan.


🔴 Subtle Highlights: 

  • Opt for subtle highlights that blend seamlessly with your natural hair color.

🔴 Face-Framing Pieces: 

  • Add some lighter pieces around your face to brighten your look and enhance your features.
