Haircut

Here's a question from Angela, Sugar's Community Assistant. Can you help her out?
I am flirting with the idea of switching salons. The only problem is I am a bit hesitant to try a new stylist. My budget doesn't exactly call for trial and error, so the one I choose has to work out. I did my research and checked out the websites of the salons I'm most interested in, however, I am a little overwhelmed. Do you guys have any advice when it comes to choosing a new stylist? Please share.

Stylists just starting out need practice on their cutting and coloring skills, often offering up their clients free services in the process. (Score.) But then there's the tip to consider — and that's just what one Sugar reader recently wondered about. "I've booked a hair appointment for my boyfriend at my salon as a hair model and it is free of charge. How much should he tip?" she asked. "It's at the salon I go to, and he needs to make a good impression and leave a reasonable tip," she added. To see what I think, just keep reading.

Lots of stars have tried the daring mohawk throughout the years, and now we can count model Agyness Deyn as one of them. Earlier today at a photocall in London, Agyness showed off her new look, but she's no stranger to wearing adventurous styles. Not only has she tried a variety of hair colors, but she's also very experimental with her haircuts, from bowl cuts to buzz cuts. Agyness is one of those lucky people who could wear just about anything and still look amazing, and I think she pulls off the mohawk rather nicely. What do you say?

From Katie Holmes's various bobs to the Victoria Beckham "Pob," celebrities have been the inspiration for many hairstyles. As you can see, my latest celebrity hairstyle crush is on Pat Benatar, who wore this mullet/bob for her 1981 video "You Better Run."

You've probably brought a picture of a favorite star look clipped out of a magazine or printed off of a website, but what I want to know is this: whose celebrity style, whether retro or modern, are you currently coveting?

Since 1989, artist and hairstylist Nelson Loskamp has been shaking things up with his Electric Chaircut performances. With an amplifier attached to his back, Loskamp's shears or clippers then produce beats based on his cutting motions.

But that's not all. Not only does he tape his haircut volunteers to his chair, but he also tapes their mouths and eyes closed. Why? "To symbolize our fetishism of appearance," according to his website.

"I whack at the hair in a seemingly random pattern and a cacophony of trance like sounds play to the audience. When I am finished I peel away the tape and show them the new look I have created," he said. Want to try it? Loskamp performs every Sunday in August from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 175 7th Ave. in New York City. Not feeling as daring, or simply just want to check it out? Watch him in action here.
