Red Carpet Styles at Salon Mario Russo

We know your favorite part of awards shows is the red carpet — from the drop-dead gorgeous gown Anne Hathaway will wear to the Oscars to the fabulous ‘do Lady Gaga will show off at the Grammys. Thanks to Salon Mario Russo on Newbury Street you can get a taste of the fabulous, fashionable life, too. The salon debuts its monthly Beauty Bar Pop-Up series later this month with an award show coifs theme. Come to the salon with your locks washed and ready to be transformed, and stylists will teach you how to replicate tricky Hollywood styles — sleek ponytails, retro curls, and modern chignons, for starters — with ease. Drinks, snacks and music will also be provided to make the night an experience rather than just an appointment, and you’ll leave with an updo fit for the stars. Who can say no to getting professionally dolled up for a Friday night out?

$40, 5-7 p.m., February 22, Salon Mario Russo, 9 Newbury St., Boston, redcarpethair.eventbrite.com.
