Debutantes Turn To Misha Belfer For The Ideal Introductory Hair Style

It€™s a debutante€™s duty to practice being prim and perfect on her big day. Part of that perfection is her tireless search to pick out the perfect princess white gown€”elaborate enough to make a bride jealous. Besides the dress, a deb€™s hairstyle is a big decision.

Historically, debutants were considered to be of a marriageable age. The debutante ball held in cities across this country and Europe were to introduce young women to eligible young men. Denver, Colorado€™s premier debutante ball is held the Friday prior to Christmas each year. For more than 50 years, eligible young women across Denver waited anxiously to be named to the deb roles. Not everyone was so lucky. The choice depended on a number of factors that made the family as a whole €œsocially acceptable.€

The pressure was on the young debs to ready themselves to curtsey in the spotlight under the atrium at the historic Brown Palace in Denver. Each deb then and now in 2008 is expected to display an air of sophistication and elegance. In recent years, most debs refused to completely forego their fresh, youthful style even when it came to their hair.

The pin curls of junior prom were not sophisticated enough. Helmet hair in a French roll simply looked too antiquated. Enter Misha Belfer, stylist known for his exceptional up-dos.

Belfer, who owns a salon called Salon Misha at One Broadway in the heart of Denver, Colorado knows debs. He has wowed debs and their mothers with up-dos over the last six debutante balls.

Given his background, it makes huge sense that he€™d own a knack for up-dos that€™s more honed than other stylists. Belfer€™s background was in ballroom dancing and hairstyling for the ballroom dancers. Up-dos for brides and fashion shows are his specialty. He€™s also expert in color, cuts and everyday styling.

The hair style a deb chooses for her big event is very personal and is often the piece de resistance of a deb€™s overall look. In order to achieve the perfect up-do for the celebrated social introduction, Belfer meets with a deb to do a hair styling run-through before the big night. He makes recommendations regarding the most appropriate style based on the shape of one€™s face, the texture and thickness of one€™s hair, and, yes, even the style of the dress the deb has chosen to wear for her introduction to society.
