Textured Chignon with Oribe Educators

If you are attending a wedding this summer, we have the perfect look for you!! Oribe’s textured chignon is simple with a low key elegance that will have everyone’s head turning!

Oribe educators are industry leaders in styling and they definitely did not disappoint! Our stylists had the pleasure of learning from some of Oribe’s finest, Ronnie Stam and Adam Livermore, for this technique. Both are based in New York and have had their work featured in several magazines such as Vanity Fair and Modern Salon to name a couple. Each educator brought their own unique artistry to the textured chignon class. Their different approaches covered all the bases for our learning styles while still being fun and packed full of content. The look is perfect for a bride, a bridesmaid or just a night out with friends. It combines beachy texture and a classic chignon making it seem effortless and elegant all at the same time.

Now, let’s talk products! We all know the perfect look is nothing without the perfect products! For texture and structure our stylists used Oribe Maximista and Matte Waves throughout making it easy to shape and mold the hair. They finished with Oribe Apres Beach to give it a satin finish while leaving the texture intact. The result, effortless perfection! Who doesn’t want that?
