About This Quiz

Certain hairstyles associated with an era are so stylish and flattering that they become timeless. That is if you have the right personality and look to carry it off. Something that would look stunning on your best friend might look drab or slightly lackluster on you, or the other way around.  However, when you find just the right fit, it will seem as though it was made for you. And in a way, it was. It needs a woman like you to make it come alive and shine all over again. 

What we're aiming to do here is find out just what era is the perfect one for you. Are you a '60s or a '70s gal, a '50s lady or a '20s flapper queen? Once you figure that out, you'll be able to don a signature look that will make you look absolutely fabulous, darling. That's what we're here for, to help you pinpoint just what that signature style is. By asking you a few questions, we'll zero in on the era that will best capture your natural style and personality.
