" To help contemplative women try out fringes without making a commitment, Butterfly Studio owner and celebrity stylist Kattia Solano has just added a Bangs Bar to her vast Fifth Avenue salon in NYC. Choose from a service menu of clip-in bang styles and colors that you can test with a pro-styling session and then purchase. The faux fringes cost $30 and blow-dries start at $68.  &amp;quot;Around this time of year, people always come into the salon asking for bangs, especially if celebrities have them,&amp;quot; Solano told Elle.com. &amp;quot;Katie Holmes on the cover of ELLE was one of the first this season. People will bring in the pictures and be like, &amp;#039;Will I? Will I not?&amp;#039; [This service] gives you are really good idea if you want to cut a wispy bang or a more blunt bang. If you just want to buy the [faux bang] piece and wear it with a topknot or a ponytail, we shampoo the hair and style it.&amp;quot;  ELLE.com gave three faux fringes and two hairstyles at the Bangs Bar a go. Check out the results, below. Our model&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;before&amp;quot; shot sans bangs.

If you don&amp;#039;t feel like wearing them, just push them over.&amp;quot;   Photo: Shanna Ravindra Look 2: Semi-blunt with wispy edges &amp;quot;As opposed to a very wispy bang, which is more forgiving for everyone, this one involves a bit more commitment,&amp;quot; Solano notes. &amp;quot;The good thing about it is that the angle opens the face, so you get a different look than the first.&amp;quot;   Photo: Shanna Ravindra Look 3: Blunt bangs \u2028 &amp;quot;These are the bangs that require most commitment,&amp;quot; Solano warns. &amp;quot;You would need to have these trimmed every two to three weeks.&amp;quot; Solano recommends these for people with thicker hair, as they will have more weight.   Photo: Shanna Ravindra Look 4: Topknot with bangs \u2028 &amp;quot;Bangs make it easier for people who don&amp;#039;t usually feel comfortable wearing their hair pulled back,&amp;quot; Solano explains. &amp;quot;They feel less exposed with bangs.&amp;quot; When creating a casual updo, she recommends using a wide, stretchy band, which will serve as a base for the bun.  Photo: Shanna Ravindra Look 5: Ponytail with bangs &amp;quot;Ponytails with wispy-edge bangs can be super sexy,&amp;quot; says Solano, who suggests teasing the hair at the crown of the head for volume before tying it up. &amp;quot;Use a pair of chopsticks to increase the volume at the crown of the head after your hair is pulled back,&amp;quot; she notes.
