Easter Brunch Hair: Palm Beach's Prettiest Sunday, Styled

Easter Sunday is Palm Beach County's gentlest dress-up holiday — pastels on Worth Avenue, garden hats at the Breakers brunch, three generations at one table looking their best. It isn't a wedding, but I style families for Easter every year, one of my favorite spring traditions. Here's how the county's prettiest Sunday gets styled.

The hat problem, solved in advance: Easter is the last great hat holiday, and hats flatten what they sit on. The styling answer is a set engineered for recovery: root volume built into the crown before the hat goes on, waves set to fall back into shape with a shake, low styles that look deliberate whether the hat's on or off. Your grandmother knew this — it's why the Easter hat and the salon set went together all last century.

The brunch register: soft, spring, unfussy — not gala architecture. Loose waves with a pinned half-up, low twisted chignons that let the hat sit, blowouts with a bend in them. Pastels carry the color; the hair carries polish and shine, which photographs best in the morning light on a terrace.

The family styling session, the tradition worth starting: three generations at one brunch means three generations wanting to look their best — and on-location styling at $225 per person per service means the whole table arrives finished together. Grandmothers, mothers, daughters, everyone styled before the eggs: the sweetest sessions on my calendar, and Easter the way Palm Beach does it.

The spring hair-care note: Easter sits at the start of sun season — a gloss treatment or color refresh timed before the holiday makes hair read luminous in the brunch photographs, the same prep I put brides on eight weeks out.
