The Recession Brings Deep Cuts — in a Good Way
Are free haircuts for the unemployed a new trend? Last weekend, Christiano Cora salon in New York was offering gratis cuts to people who've lost their jobs, and I've heard stories about other stylists offering similar assistance. Since salons are one of the first businesses to suffer in an economic downturn, it makes sense that they'd be reaching out to their communities more — the stylists have some free time, and helping people now makes them loyal to you once they do get a job — but I still think it's a very kind gesture.
Do You Book More Appointments With Your Hairstylist Than Your Doctor?
A few years ago, I asked you how often you get your hair cut. The majority of you said that you go every few months, which was also the same response to how frequently you get highlights. When you add up all of the appointments you book with your hairstylist and colorist throughout the year, what does your magic number turn out to be?
Bella Poll: How Much Are You Willing to Cut Off?
I went in for a haircut with a new stylist recently, and as soon as I sat down she asked, "What's the most you're willing to cut off during a routine trim?" I was surprised by the question, but she explained that the amount you're willing to trim off if there's damage says a lot about your overall hair philosophy. I'm personally willing to trim off quite a bit when the mood strikes.
Do You Immediately Restyle Your Hair After Leaving the Salon?
Getting pampered at the salon is one of life's little pleasures, from the massage at the shampoo bowl to the precision cut down to the final blow-dry and style. Recently, a co-worker and I were chatting about our salon visits, particularly the "style" portion of the service.
Both of us agreed that while we might love the results of our actual haircut and/or color, neither one of us are ever really all that excited about the way the look was finished.
Does Your Haircut Fall Into a Category?
HerCut, a soon-to-be-launched line of haircare products, distinguishes itself in the market by offering products by haircut, not hair type. Many of you said you'd be interested in the concept, but were concerned that the line seems to forgo texture, an important element in styling. (More about my experience in trying HerCut later.) With all this talk of haircuttery, I have to ask: does your hairstyle actually fall into a specific category, is it a blend of two or more cuts, or is it practically indescribable?
Have You Ever Asked For a Hair Redo?
Have you ever left the salon feeling not-so-fabulous about your cut or color? Maybe the blond was a little too yellow for your liking, or there was an obvious bleed mark in your fringe. Or perhaps it was just that your new cut wasn't cooperating with the texture of your hair, leaving you with a string of bad hair days.
More Tips For Stretching Out a Haircut
Are you in between haircut appointments? Or maybe you're like me, and you're looking to save money by going to your stylist less often. While we're on the topic, be sure to check out some recession-proof hair color tips for low-cost ideas on keeping color looking fresh.
What Do You Know About Barbershop History?
Yesterday, the New York Times featured an article regarding the differences in customer loyalty when it comes to men and women. It probably comes as no surprise that men show their devotion to groups and companies, such as barbershops, while women are more loyal to the stylist than the salon. But, we already knew that anyway, right?
Send in Your Bad Hair Pics For Hairstyle Appreciation Day!
It's National Hairstyle Appreciation Day. Who would have known it? To celebrate this momentous occasion, we've been digging through our photo archives — and unfortunate, embarrassing "tagged" photos on Facebook — in search of the hairstyles we did not appreciate all that much.
Which Haircut Do You Like Best on Kate Moss?
Kate Moss has been creating a bit of a frenzy in the hair world lately. First, she partnered up with her long-time stylist, James Brown, to create a line of hair-care products, then she threw on a platinum-blonde wig for her latest ad campaign for Topshop. Now the model turned hair chameleon is rocking the bangs.
