SHORT HAIR: The Cutting Edge

Short hair gives you the edge. So believes Sam Moore, a stylist specializing in chin-length hairdos at Shag86 in Little Falls. Below Moore discusses the benefits of going shorter:

Why are you enthusiastic about short hair?

Short hair is something that is uniquely you. It gives you a unique perspective, an edginess as you express your personality. It differentiates you from others. You are more confident in your person. You own the cut, and it becomes your style.

What are some of the current hairstyles/trends in short hair?

Short hair offers great versatility in style. Shag bobs, reminiscent of the 1970s, are popular now, along with the new blunt and bubble bobs. There are even variations of the traditional pixie cut. All types of bobs reaching the bottom of the ear are in fashion. Color and use of the right products further add to the amazing cut. Additionally, all ages can wear a short style well.

Who should take the plunge and celebrate short hair?

While everyone can wear a short style, you must be ready. It does take some courage to leave the long hair behind. I recognize this and will work carefully with clients to help them prepare for and love their new look.

I offer a complimentary consultation to discuss this potential change. We do a show and tell as we discuss personality and face shape together. I take the hair off the face so that the clients can have a preview of how they would look in short hair.

If the clients decide to take the plunge, I ensure they know how to use the right products to keep their style looking great. With short hair, a new door opens to a new you.
