How would you describe this look?

This view is one of my favorites. This is a beautiful golden beige balayage with a light chocolate base. This is a great compromise for those who want to go lighter or blonder without going completely blonde.

Maintaining depth at the root/base and throughout creates a much softer appearance and softer shoot. This cut keeps the length intact while adding movement, volume and texture with a modern take on Farrah’s layers.

Any advice for those considering this?

Anyone considering this species must first consider where they are starting. One of the biggest challenges in our industry is getting women to understand that weight loss is a process. We want to maintain the integrity of the hair throughout the entire process to ensure a healthy and beautiful color.

Depending on the starting point, this could take anywhere from one to four or five sessions on my chair. Building ease over time is the best way to go. This requires patience and will cost the full cost of the session.

This is such a low maintenance color when the desired look is achieved. Some of my clients only touch up once or twice a year. Grows without problems. This haircut style is very versatile for daily styling and can be styled, curled or straightened and still showcases movement in layering.

The shorter top layers make it easier to achieve volume if the top tends to be heavy and flat. It’s amazing how to spice up and style fine textured hair. If you have naturally wavy hair, I find a good leave-in product that lets your hair air dry works really well and looks pretty like a beach. Since the color requires minimal maintenance, I suggest a maximum time between shaping your haircut of 12 weeks.

How would you describe this look?

This look is a well balanced mix of modern and classic and that’s what I love about it so much. Imagine that Brigitte Bardot meets a modern man or woman.

We see an ongoing trend towards long hair and incorporating shorter hair around the face and all over the crown is a great way to spice up the hair while maintaining the length that clients love.

With so much going on structurally in a haircut, color choice and placement must be considered. I always try to achieve a complementary, cohesive look between cut and color.

Any advice for those considering this?

This haircut is definitely suitable for all hair types and textures as well as face shapes. The key to emphasizing or reducing facial features is the placement of layers.

Customers love the unfinished “less is more” look. This style is great for those who don’t want to groom themselves in the morning. A great texturizing product that gives hair the life it needs.

The versatility of this cut creates endless possibilities for changing the look depending on how many layers and how short they are. You can go for a more dramatic look by creating more texture on hair of varying lengths, or go for something more conservative by keeping longer layers.

As a stylist, I love it when clients bring photos! When searching for similar cuts, look for words like “shag” or “modern shag”.

How would you describe this look?

A layered long haircut gives you the opportunity to get creative with your hair. You can style your hair in straight or soft curls or very wavy.

This is a haircut for any woman who loves long hair combined with highlights from chestnut to cool blonde.

Any advice for those considering this?

It’s a fresh, youthful sexy look. This is great because the cut can be adjusted to frame any face shape.

On damp hair, I like to use Unite Hair Care’s Seven Second Detangler Leave-In Conditioner, followed by Unite Boosta Volumizing Spray to create root volume.

After drying my hair, I curl it, shake out the curls and finish with a spray of Unite Argon Oil spray for volume, fullness and texture.

How would you describe this look?

I love doing this haircut! This is long hair throughout the layered haircut. It consists of face-framing layers, long layers and short layers.

The styling of this haircut is very simple. It looks great when you iron it, blow it, curl it, or even air dry it. Just make sure you have the right product for the right style.

Any advice for those considering this?

This haircut makes the hair very heavy. For this reason, it is best suited for those with long, thick hair. If you have thin hair, you can get this look but with fewer layers.
