Bobs with a Bang

One huge look this year are precisely cut bobs paired with super shiny, smooth, sleek styling and a blunt cut fringe. Your bob can be individually designed to accentuate your unique facial structure. This hairstyle can range in length from hitting at the ear or grazing your shoulders but generally work best in straight hair or hair with minimal wave, with hair that has too much curl the outcome may be more of a triangular look that gains width at the bottom which isn't necessarily flattering. Bangs are optional with the bob and only choose bangs if they flatter your facial structure. And if you feel like you want to take more of a leap into your new look to think about a more mod style...

Mad For Mod

By adding a heavy, side-swept bang with the blunt lines of this cut make it all the more mod. By adding texture and direction to a bob give it the mod feel. This type of cut has encompasses lots of texturizing and slicing of the hair to lighten up the bluntness of a classic bob. This type of trendy mod hairstyle is best styled with a swooping motion to frame the face. Products can be used to add more texture such as waxes, clays and mud's which will add a grungy-punk look to a mod style.

Asymmetry in Action

Another edgy look that will be showing up big this season is a more extreme asymmetric look. If you are a bold individual who wants your hair to exemplify your personality consider experimenting with unexpected texture and length differences. An asymmetrical look can be incorporated into a variety of hair styles from short cuts, bobs or longer, layered looks. The asymmetric aspect of this style can range from a subtle, soft slope to and extreme plunge. A huge look this year is asymmetrical bangs, they can be cut blunt. Wispy or anywhere in between. Slanted bangs can highlight your best facial features and add interest to any cut.

Layering Strategically

When it comes to cutting techniques there have been so many new advances and hair styling itself has become more unique to each client instead of a universal one-size-fits-most approach to styling. Layers can be carved within the interior of your hair bringing movement to your head of hair. Classic layered looks such as "the Rachael" are a thing of the past, cutting and styling today is about capitalizing what your hair's potential is. We strive to offer styles unique to the individual by encompassing techniques that will work best with your hairs own texture and density while best accentuating your features.

Swirls, Spikes and Waves

It may not sound like we are talking about, but there are daring, edgy and funky styles out there that are fun and hot this season. These styles tend to offer the most room for individuality, every head of hair is absolutely one of a kind and this type of styling lets you flaunt it. Texturizing your cut and using the appropriate styling products can make a huge difference to shorter cuts. Using clays, waxes, or anything with a little stick to it can help you make your look truly your own. Put a little product in your hands and emulsify it till there is a thin layer all over your hands fingers and all. Then get to it! Dive right in and shake things up a bit, stay aware of the shape you are making to make sure it's most appealing to your shape. Do what you got to do, swoop, swirl, spike have fun. There are no rules! Perfection is unnecessary in these styles just have fun with it and show your true artsy side. How much can you make your hair say about you?

Color can add Character

Color can drastically change the overall look of any hairstyle. Ultra rich dark colors are all the rage this season, lightly highlight a deep dark color or add flashes of color peeking out from underneath. Adding chunks of color to the underneath is huge now, rich reds such as burgundy, eggplant and mahogany work well with dark brown and black colors. By strategically placing highlights, lowlights or panels of color you can add dimension, character and fun to your style. Pick colors that flatter your skin tone and eye color and you can bring your cut/color into the New Year with the hottest style.
