Bright Confidence
Sarah @seolahair

Adventurous hair color requires a certain level of daring (or so it seems). The secret is that everyone has inner colors just waiting to be shared with the world!

The second we let this brightness out to shine, the confidence takes over, and confidence is the best thing we can wear.


Timeless (Youth)
Sal @salsalhair + Beverly @beverlyfamous

The Timeless vision captures the carefree essence of being and full embodiment, the sensation of coolness and feeling youthful.

Wherever and whenever you place the ‘timeless’ muse is right at home.

As if a light breeze is always surrounding her, the haircut is full throughout; with layers that run longer and a flowy face frame which allows flexibility to go any way it likes. Internal layers add built in movement that invigorates the shape.

A color that stands the test of time is nothing but your own. Using a technique emulating the perfect placement of sun kissed hair and working with the raw lift of the natural hair, we embrace an enduring allure that never fades.

The vision for this Haircut was to capture the freeing nature of being & feeling young, the sense of feeling cool and fully embodied, therefore it doesn’t matter where you place the person the look is timeless.


BOWQUETTE

coquette maximalism, an updated interpretation of Japan's Lolita fashion 

Bowquette is a tribute to the nostalgia of girlhood. Bows inspired by Simone Rocha's haute couture debut at Jean Paul Gaultier SS24 harken to coquette maximalism, an updated interpretation of Japan's Lolita fashion subculture near the turn of the century. There is a soft juxtaposition of kawaii and moodiness that perfectly captures the spirit of growing up.


 

STINGING FAIRIE
Cindi @ipaintyellow + Sean @cutsbysen

The color block represents the duality of personality

An ode to a faerie that stings, inspired by the fairytale antihero archetype. The color block represents the duality of personality -- beauty and femininity with a sharp edge, the shimmering aura armed with grit. Delicate and soft, with a foreboding plot that thickens when a princess bites back.


ANCESTRAL NOSTALGIA

honor your core self and reinvent your identity

Ancestral Nostalgia invites you take the long way home, to be both understated and bold. This look pulls from the present while politely rejecting transhumanism. It asks you to honor your core self and reinvent your identity. It varies on each individual, majorly defined by being a unique crown to wear in any setting, as an accessory to any silhouette.


LAYERS OF FREEDOM

layers symbolize freedom and is manifested in the liberty of hair movement and texture

 

Freedom is found in layers. Whoever you are -- with short hair or long, feminine or rebellious

Each layer cuts away the superfluous and is an invitation to self-expression, within which there is an understanding of and to being your most authentic self. Self-expression is your birthright and it is courageous. Be free, and enjoy your freedom from the inside out.


HIGH MAINTENANCE
Beverly @beverlyfamous

High Maintenance hair is a vibrant mirror for an extravagant lifestyle characterized by bold statements. Queens require elegance and refinement, as well as discipline and understanding, to be demonstrated in the routine you've adopted for your mane.


Work Hard, Play Hard
Sean @cutsbyen

This short cut is versatile, leaning into the freshness of Spring and upcoming Summer. 

 

Work Hard, Play Hard is sophistication with edge, executive with a boyish charm. 

Wear tousled, messy and effortlessly as an homage to the carpe diem lifestyle of dog days past. On days that require a touch more finesse, this hairstyle can be pulled together to cover the tracks of any motley weekend.


Natural Mystic
Kelley @kelleytang + Sal @salsalhair

Did she go to the salon or spend all summer at the beach? What would happen if we allowed curls to grow freely, only cutting minimally?

The Natural Mystic is inspired by hair that comes with living life in the sunlight.

The tone itself is the perfect balance of warmth and lightness, feeling very organic and laid-back. There is a smooth transition from natural color to lightened mids and tips, like the sun kissing the strands perfectly on the ends. 

A soft bang is added around the face so one can see ahead, the shape freely playing with the existing texture. Layers are kept long while still defining the form and elongation of the hair altogether.

Natural Mystic has an air of free-flowing ease, undone and effortlessly styled, becoming one with nature herself.
