Prom Hair in Boca Raton – Styles That Last All Night

Prom night is one of the most photographed events of your high school years, and your hair should look amazing in every picture. At Sofia Loren Salon in Boca Raton, we help prom-goers create show-stopping hairstyles that last from the first photo to the last dance.

Popular Prom Hairstyles for 2026

Elegant Updos

Classic updo styles remain the most popular prom choice. A well-structured updo keeps hair off your shoulders, shows off your neckline and jewelry, and stays in place through hours of dancing. Our stylists create everything from sleek chignons to romantic, textured updo styles with loose face-framing pieces.

Soft Hollywood Waves

Old Hollywood glamour waves offer a stunning alternative to updos. These flowing, structured curls work beautifully with strapless and one-shoulder dresses. We set the waves with professional techniques so they hold their shape throughout the evening, even in South Florida humidity.

Half-Up, Half-Down

A versatile option that combines the elegance of an updo with the drama of flowing hair. Add braided accents, twists, or a sparkling hair accessory for a personalized touch. This style works with every hair length and face shape.

Braided Styles

From romantic fishtail braids to intricate crown braids, braided prom hair offers a bohemian-chic look that is both beautiful and secure. Braids stay in place better than most styles, making them ideal for an active prom night.

Add Volume With Extensions

Want fuller, longer hair for prom? Clip-in extensions ($45+ per row) are a popular option for adding length and volume just for the event. For a more seamless look, temporary tape-in extensions can be installed a week before prom and removed after. Ask about our extension options during your consultation.

Color Before Prom

Planning a color refresh before prom? Schedule your color appointment or balayage at least 2 weeks before the event. This gives the color time to settle and ensures it looks its best under both natural light and venue lighting.

Tips for Prom Day

• Bring reference photos. Show your stylist 2-3 photos of hairstyles you like so they understand your vision.
• Bring your accessories. If you have a tiara, hair clips, or flowers, bring them to the appointment so they can be incorporated.
• Come with clean, dry hair. Freshly washed and dried hair holds styling products better.
• Bring extra bobby pins and hairspray. For touch-ups during the event.
• Factor in South Florida humidity. Ask your stylist for extra hold and anti-humidity finishing spray. We know how to style hair that lasts in Boca Raton’s climate.
