Wednesday Addams Halloween costume

The gothic style of the Addams Family is great for Halloween costumes because it’s not too scary but spooky enough to get you into the spirit. To create your gothic look at home, I recommend three items: a dress in black or purple with lace detailing around the hemline; a pair of black, comfortable salon shoes; and lastly, some sort of hat- either a beret or witch hat if you want to go more traditional. Last but not least, don’t forget to accessorize this look with 2 braided tails.

You can find a geisha kimono on amazon, accessorize it with a french twist or a bun, and Japanese makeup. And there you are, wearing a very original Halloween costume for hairstylists.

Poker Halloween costume

Here’s a homemade poker Halloween costume idea for hairstylists, perfect for those who want to save some cash. All you need is a few cheap materials and a little creativity.

To start, grab an old t-shirt of yours that won’t be missed if it gets ruined by your Halloween theme. Next, go to the closest office supply store and buy some white paper (or print out an online template) for the headband design of your card. Now take your shirt and lay it flat on the floor, and start painting your shirt. 

If you don’t have the talent to do it your own, you can take your old t-shirt to a print shop and ask them to personalize your poker Halloween costume as you wish.
