Event Hair Help (PIP)
I have to attend an awards banquet next Saturday. It's a black tie event, so I should try to look semi-fancy, I s'pose. I am re-wearing a jumpsuit I wore to H's Christmas party last year (see below), but I have no idea what to do with my hair. I called around to a few hair salons, and they're either booked up or charge way more than I'd be willing to pay for a one-night thing.
Anyway, I've had very short hair most of my adult life, and I don't really know what to do with this short bob I've got going on now. Ideally, I'd either figure out how to fake an up-do of some sort (photo below), or I'd figure out how to do lose waves (see below). Do any of you have any tips for either of these hairdos? Would I achieve waves using a curling iron/straightener, or some sort of rollers? I'm clueless, please help.

Re: Event Hair Help (PIP)
I would use a curling iron for the wavy looks, but you could use a flat iron to do it as well.
How much are you willing to pay if you went to a stylist? Do you have a friend who could help you do an updo at home?
Try the Velvet Monkey Salon.. I know theirs are way cheaper than $75.
I like the wavy looks. Those are adorable.

I am sort of feeling like an idiot for posting this now.
I busted out the old curling iron I haven't used in a few years, took like 20 minutes, and wound up with the below (sorry for the poor photo quality). I'll probably amp it up a little and do it with bangs next weekend, but I think it'll suffice.
Agreed!
