Braided hairstyles of all complexities have reigned supreme on the runways and red carpets for what seems like forever. Childhood memories aside, the current iteration of braids started around Spring 2010 (thanks Alexander Wang and Oscar de la Renta, to name a few) and the style has continued to grow season after season. This ongoing trend has cued the arrival of braid bars—a special salon that has perfected the art of braiding—in New York and Los Angeles, and now they’re coming to Toronto.

Marc Anthony Salons in Toronto just announced that they will now offer a special braid menu to customers. The styles range from a basic French braid band to more complex plaits such as fishtails, waterfalls and a fully braided halo updo. Meaning, for those without the dexterity or patience to attempt DIY braiding, on-trend holiday party hair just got a whole lot easier. And affordable: Braid bar prices start at $20.

Accessories have been big catwalk news for the past few seasons. Think of the giant statement necklaces introduced two years ago, or last fall’s over-the-knee boots. One of this spring’s most talked-about pieces was a pair of alien-like shoes from Alexander McQueen–though to eyes that hadn’t seen them in a while, the season’s clutch of clogs seems just as outrageous. We’re putting the spotlight on spring’s best extras with our debut Accessories Guide. We?ve got a lineup of clutches, clogs and crystal-clear jewellery, plus we talk to industry insiders about fresh trends, names to watch and more.
