It’s that time of year again, West Kelowna! The leaves are falling, pumpkin spice is everywhere, and Halloween is creeping around the corner. While some people focus on finding the perfect costume, we know that real Halloween pros know it’s all about the HAIR! 🎃
At BOTTEGA Salon, we’re all about creating spooktacular styles for all your haunted holiday needs. Whether you want to be ghoulish or glamorous, we’ve got you covered. So, we’re breaking down the top 10 most iconic Halloween hairstyles from the silver screen and showing you how we can recreate them right here in our salon!
Let’s take a look at these wickedly fabulous styles:
1. Morticia Addams – The Addams Family
The Look: Sleek, straight, and silky black hair, Morticia’s look is all about that floor-length shine and smoothness. It’s creepy, it’s kooky, and it’s stunning.
How to Achieve It: Come to BOTTEGA for a Brazilian blowout or keratin treatment to get that flawless, glass-like finish. Add some deep, dramatic middle-parting, and you’ll be Morticia-ready in no time.
Pro Tip: Don’t forget the red lip and an intense stare. Bonus points for a black gown and your very own Gomez.
2. Edward Scissorhands – Edward Scissorhands
The Look: Messy, wild, and just a little… err… dangerous. Edward’s mop is the epitome of chaotic cool.
How to Achieve It: At BOTTEGA, we can channel your inner Edward with some serious texturizing and lots of volumizing mousse. We’ll cut your layers to perfectly imperfect lengths, and we’ll even throw in some styling tips so you can keep that bedhead look going long after Halloween.
Pro Tip: Just don’t try to cut your own hair with scissors for hands. Trust us. Leave the shears to us.
3. Elvira – Mistress of the Dark
The Look: Elvira’s voluminous black beehive is an absolute Halloween classic—think ’80s goth meets bouffant royalty.
How to Achieve It: Teasing and backcombing are your new best friends, and at BOTTEGA, we’ve got the skills (and the hairspray) to create the kind of volume that could touch the heavens… or maybe just the ceiling.
Pro Tip: Pair with smoky eyes, a plunging neckline, and enough sass to own every room you enter.
4. Beetlejuice – Beetlejuice
The Look: Greenish-white hair with a life of its own, Beetlejuice’s chaotic locks match his manic personality.
How to Achieve It: We can recreate this look with the help of temporary white and green hair color sprays, combined with some major texturizing and tousling. Get that mad scientist vibe down with wild, wiry hair, and you’ll be the ghost with the most!
Pro Tip: To make sure you don’t go full Beetlejuice in real life, we’ll give you a solid conditioning treatment afterward.
5. Winnie Sanderson – Hocus Pocus
The Look: Bright red, fiery curls in an updo that says “I’m ready to steal your youth, but make it fashion.”
How to Achieve It: If you’ve got curls, we’ll define and pump them up with some curl-enhancing magic. No curls? No problem! We can create a full, curly updo with hot tools, rollers, and just the right amount of witchy wonder. Red hair dye or wigs will complete your transformation.
Pro Tip: Channel your inner diva. Winnie knows she’s fabulous, and so should you.
6. Bride of Frankenstein – Bride of Frankenstein
The Look: Towering, frizzy hair with those signature white lightning bolt streaks on either side. A classic Halloween go-to.
How to Achieve It: We’ll set you up with an epic updo, teasing your hair to give it that dramatic height. For the iconic streaks, we can use temporary white color, extensions, or clip-ins that will make you the star of the mad scientist’s lab.
Pro Tip: This look screams “drama,” so go big with those streaks and your attitude!
7. Lydia Deetz – Beetlejuice
The Look: Lydia’s spiked bangs and black hair are the definition of goth-chic. Bonus points if you wear a red wedding dress!
How to Achieve It: We’ll cut those sharp, edgy bangs to perfection and give your hair that sleek, straight finish with a bit of punk rock edge. Want to go all in? We can even help with a temporary dark dye job!
Pro Tip: Memorize a few dark, moody lines like “I myself am strange and unusual” to really bring out your inner Lydia.
8. Jack Skellington – The Nightmare Before Christmas
The Look: While Jack’s got no hair (being a skeleton and all), that doesn’t mean we can’t create a hair inspired by his sleek, spooky vibe.
How to Achieve It: For something more avant-garde, we can use bold black and white colors to create a contrast that mirrors Jack’s striped suit. Think sleek bobs with dramatic white highlights or even slicked-back styles with some added Halloween flair.
Pro Tip: Keep it classy yet creepy, just like Jack would!
9. Sally – The Nightmare Before Christmas
The Look: Sally’s long, straight red locks are as iconic as her patchwork dress.
How to Achieve It: We can work some magic with extensions or a bold color job to bring that red shade to life. A flat iron will give you that straight, no-frizz finish Sally pulls off so effortlessly.
Pro Tip: Complete the look with a little stitching (face paint, not real stitches, of course!).
10. Frankenstein’s Monster – Frankenstein
The Look: Flat-topped, boxy, and… let’s call it “ruggedly handsome.” If you’re looking for a look that says “I’ve been through some stuff,” this is it.
How to Achieve It: We’ll get creative with some serious shaping and product to flatten the top and square off the sides. Add some temporary grey or black color, and you’ll be the talk of the Halloween party—just don’t expect anyone to shout “It’s alive!” when you walk in.
Pro Tip: This look is all about attitude. Walk slow, groan often, and don’t forget the bolts!
