Easy Updos with Fox & Boy Salon
Generally speaking, if you ask for an updo at a salon, you risk transforming into Bayside High’s ’98 prom queen.
The safer alternative: a perfectly messy — yet elegant — side bun. In today’s video, stylist Julie Dickson, owner of Fox & Boy in NYC, breaks it down into four easy steps.
We love this look, because it’s simple for everyday wear and polished for fancy events. For more ideas, check out our how-to videos on jazzing up a ponytail, mastering the fresh-from-the-ocean look, and perfecting curls.

Julie Dickson at Fox & Boy Might Be Clairvoyant

Racked Rx, a new feature highlighting the best places in the city to get your shoes repaired, your clothes cleaned, your hair cut, your blender fixed, and all your other material ailments cured. No item is too high maintenance; no appliance is too quirky.
She studied me for about thirty seconds and then said, "I think you should look like a folksinger who lives in the Village in the early '60s. Like someone who cut her hair herself." As it happened, that was exactly what I wanted, only I didn't know it. Later, when I went back for another cut, she amended the description to "A British schoolgirl who is having an affair with one of the Rolling Stones." Again: How did she know?
Granted, these are not the rarest of haircut ambitions (it's not like she somehow guessed my deep-seated desire to look like a Sun Belt mom who's having a midlife crisis, or a longshoreman after a long and difficult winter) but it's still impressive that she was able to size me up immediately. And her skills don't just apply to people who are obsessed with Mad Men; she keeps a preppy friend of mine looking like a natural redhead, and I have a curly-haired friend who loves her.

After earning her chops at a handful of well-regarded salons—Dop Dop, Minardi, Beauty Parlour, and Blackstones—hairstylist Julie Dickson took her accrued clientele and opened this pretty, personalized spot in April 2009 (the name references a game of pretend played by her young daughter and son).
The salon combines the cool factor of her former downtown posts with an air of uptown polish: The four stations face antique mirrors, and dated music cabinets bear styling tools and vases of fresh flowers. Globe pendant lights hang above ornate French parlor chairs in the small waiting area, and the two shampoo sinks are shielded from the rest of the space by an elaborately tiled, curved wall.
Dickson uses Davines, Redken, and L'Oréal products, combining wet and dry cutting methods to observe the natural tendencies of the hair. She tailors her technique according to her diverse clientele, which includes students, stylishly rumpled men, and various downtown creative types. Though Dickson is adept at both classic and sharp, angled cuts, her particular talent lies in fine tresses, which she coaxes into full-bodied, textured styles.

Your last DIY attempt resulted in a hole (okay, tunnel) from the bathroom to the bedroom and a local shortage on caulk.
But before you vow to never try anything by yourself again, check out our new series of how-to videos aptly entitled Easy Does It.
First up: Hairstylist Julie Dickson, owner of Fox & Boy salon in NYC, shows us how to trim our own bangs. We know, we know, taking scissors to your mane seems pretty cray cray, but we promise it’s easier than it seems, not to mention recession friendly.
As an added bonus, Dickson shows us the perfect way to tame our post-ocean coif in a looks-like-a-professional-did-it kind of way.
So prepare to be called a liar.

Play cowboys and Indians as a kid? (Or adult. Whatever.)
Then you might be game for Fox and Boy, a new salon with an active imagination. Julie Dickson (Beauty Parlour at ABC, Blackstones Salon) is the brain behind the quaint Mulberry Street spot (named after a scheme her children invented).
The space has the homey Nolita feeling we have come to love: moss green walls, tons of fresh flowers, framed artwork by Dickson’s daughter. Antique sheet music cabinets serve as stations where Dickson focuses on bone structure, eye color, and complexion before offering up her legendary cuts and color.
As you leave, check out the range of ecofriendly Davines products.
They’ll keep your new style looking foxy (oh, boy).
