Halloween is fast-approaching, and if you are looking for a last minute Halloween costume, Hairstylist and re:TREAT Color + Hair Design and Studio Owner Anna Peters (@annas_hair_retreat) has you covered with this 1960s-inspired twist.
The look takes inspiration from "Apartment 7A," a new Paramount+ original movie that is a prequel to the 1968 horror classic "Rosemary's Baby." Set in New York City in 1965, the psychological thriller stars Julia Garner as Terry Gionoffrio, a young struggling dancer that gets injured and drawn in by dark forces who promise her fame.
The hairstyle Peters created is an iconic look from the decade and creates the perfect Halloween costume when paired with dance attire or thrifted '60s clothing (of course, you can always rock the style on its own).
“This '60s Broadway-style look is from the final dance scene and is telling of today’s modern messy twists with volume coming back to the top of the head and around the face,” explains Peters.
