Essential by Raffel Pages
New touches, surprising effects, and exaggerated lines define this collection of hairstyles that Raffel Pages considers essential. In this collection, he uses classic styles and modernizes them by elongating lines, adding exciting color accents, or wrapping, twisting, and twirling the hair into fairy-tale updos.
He focuses on blonde and brunette shades, as they are the most popular and widespread. Feminine, soft lines with powerful design elements create a modern chic look with a fresh and delightfully extravagant spirit.
Angled Hairstyle
This ingenious update from Raffel Pages pushes the classic A-line beyond its limits. The forward-angled line is accentuated with distinct layering and rounded styling that runs from the upper nape down to the chin.
The longer sub-layer that covers the neck does not detract from the popular shape. The hair is parted on the side and features a smooth fringe with artfully disheveled tips. A smooth blonde color is enhanced with gentle tones of beige and dark blonde, creating a play of light and shadow.
A-Line Bob with Movement
A great way to refresh your bob is to add some curls here and there. It’s not as random as it may seem; every curve and curl has a purpose in its playfulness. Use a curling iron to add accents to long fringes. Asymmetry adds an extra touch of excitement.
This layered A-line bob is styled for volume and movement by blow-drying the hair over a round brush and pulling it forward at the same time. Finish with finger styling and spray for the perfect look!
Rebellious Bangs
Add a touch of rebellion to your fringe and show the world you’re dancing to your own tune. All it takes are a few long strands that disrupt the smooth line of the fringe. Her pageboy-inspired round cut features this effect on one side of her bangs, just off to the side of her nose. The textured, irregular tips are cut at an angle, with the longest part touching the corner of her lips.
Hair color also accentuates the shape and the special effect of this daring look. Highlights in both thin and wide strands are applied in an organized and symmetrical way to emphasize the curve of the round top part.
Diagonal Highlights
With diagonal styling, this unique haircut takes on a new character. The formerly rebellious strands that stood out against the rest of the fringe are now integrated and swept towards the side of the thick, long bangs.
Braid above the Forehead
Braids don’t always have to be in the back or on the sides. A thick braid is especially striking when rolled up like a dreamy snake just above the forehead. The hair is brushed up to the anchor point at the frontal crown area and then braided in a herringbone pattern before being rolled into a loose chignon.
Some thin, unbound hair around the braid softens the look with its fluffy and fuzzy texture. Her natural strawberry blonde hair color complements her light skin tone, making her orange lipstick stand out remarkably.
Frontal Chignon
This fabulous bun requires a little help from the inside out. Unless you have a large amount of hair, you’ll need a foam insert around which the hair is wrapped. First, tie it into a ponytail on one side of the forehead, pull the hair through the hole in the donut shape, and fasten it with small pins. Pull out some loose strands for lightness and charm, and you’re all set.
A glamorous and extravagant evening style is yours. Wear it with anything, but don’t forget a couple of strings of pearls. Forget the "less is more" rule this time!
Braided Finesse
A fairy tale of an upstyle with a refined twist. A touch of braid sits at the lower corner of the billowy creation that hovers over the left side of her face. You can, of course, create it on either side, depending on your preference. It requires some teasing of the hair and minimal smoothing for this frothy effect.
The ends of the hair are slung around each other to create the braid and then tucked under and secured.
Knotted and Tied
Whether you're tying the famous knot or attending a posh party, this hairstyle will ensure you stand out. It features knots, curls, twisted strands, and loose braids, all arranged in a lively display around the center of a thick bun.
A refined and playful style that reflects the deep artistic spirit of Barcelona, home of Raffel Pages' salons. A variety of blonde shades, from vanilla to beige, bring the coloring to life.
Neoclassic Artistry
This modern Medusa wears her hair in an exquisite upstyle that is partially braided. A thick bun structure sits at the center, almost hidden among the exciting movement of long tendrils that are wrapped around each other on her crown and softly fall down the sides. Tucking one or two tendrils behind an ear adds a nice touch, while letting the rest roam free completes the look.
