MIDTOWN — Models aren't the only ones who need to look their best this week.
If you are a spectator at Fashion Week, DNAinfo.com and Alma G. Salon and Spa bring you three quick, easy and fashionable hair styles.
"This is perfect for girls with fine hair, thick hair," said Alma Qeraxhiu, the owner of the salon, located at 38 E. 21st Street, between Broadway and Park Avenue. "You can go to a wedding with these hairstyles, you can have it with jeans."
The veteran hair stylist of 16 years has honed her skills on celebrities such as Ashton Kutcher and Jennifer Missoni. To transform your look from long hair to a bob, a trendy high bun or American Indian inspired ponytails, five minutes is all it takes to add some style to your week, according to Qeraxhiu.
"It's easy," said Qeraxhiu. "You can do this everyday."
Below are step-by-step instructions to complement the instructional video:
Geisha Inspired high bun

7. Add accessories where desired.
1940s Pin-up Bob
