THE CUT: Meet the NEW Haircut for Spring

Hey there, hair-brained babes!  I hope you're hustling through the winter as I am.  I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and it looks glorious:  SPRING!

Like all of us this time of year, my gorgeous friend Nell sat down in my chair wanting something new, fresh, and easy for her shoulder-skimming strands.  My impeccably stylish Nell did her assigned homework (always bring ideas for next time!!!) and showed me a few reference pictures of model Karlie Kloss' new cult classic haircut recently coined:

THE CHOP:





I have been DYING to do this cut since the Karlie was cropped at the beginning of the year.

This wildly modern, air-dryable bob is cut to encourage natural texture.  Depending on the shape of your face, this bangin' bob should fall between an inch to two inches below the jawline.  Light bangs and soft easy layers in the front make this chop an instant classic, and a perfect fit for fine-haired filles like Nell!



Styled with love and True Grip!

Nell's turn!  BEAUTIFUL!

Everyone's swooning over this swingy spring style:


So do your homework, bring some fresh ideas for spring, and come see me soon at J. Henry Salon!

GREETINGS, FRIENDS: Welcome to the Bang Theory!

Dearest friends,

OH MY DARLINGS HELLO AGAIN!

I know, its been awhile and so very much has happened.  First and foremost: WELCOME to my new blog- the Bang Theory!  I'm currently a free agent after a series of unfortunate events and am excitedly shopping for my next workspace.  No chips on these shoulders, but I certainly do need to work on my understanding of unreasonable professional politics, and I absolutely MUST keep talking about HAIR!  I'm driving my boyfriend crazy, I swear (sorry, babe ).

I'd like to also take a moment to sincerely thank all my friends and clients for their continued support and encouragement.  You mean the world to me, and my career would be obsolete without you!

Ok, ok ok,
MY BEAUTIFUL BANG THEORISTS!
Lets get started.

What could be more perfect of a title for our newborn blog, since the BANG itself is the BIGGEST THING THIS SEASON!? I love it, I'm always obsessed.  There's a couple different ways to wear your big bang this fall, and both are bold as all ever.

BELOW THE BROW:
Erin Featherston, Fall '12

Marni, Fall '12

Elie Saab, Fall '12

The long fringe was haute and heavily present on the runways of Marni, Elie Saab, and Erin Featherston.  This is a super trendy and surprisingly low committal way to try fringe this fall.  I first saw it on the eternally beautiful Jessica Biel last month, and it seems to have sparked a BIG, sexy, BANG BONANZA!
It's okay if you drool, I did too.

The bang begins below the brow, so it can be grown out fairly easily and can double as a sexy side swoop at any point!  Petite faces with sharp features may want to be careful with the thickness of your fringe, as a look so solid could be slightly overpowering.  But come on, this is undeniably bangin' and will keep you looking fresh as the foliage starts falling.

THE BABY BANG:

We all fell in love with that dragon tattooed dark angel, Rooney Mara, and her baby bangs last spring.

Calvin Klein, fall '12

Versace, again, fall '12

The baby bang is a MUCH more definite and defiant style to carry.  It's strong, sharp, and sculpted, creating a chiseled angle around the face.  A little bit rockabilly, reminiscently retro, and a whole lot of angsty art school: this bang is badass meets business.  Perfect for petite profiles.  Alternatively those with more a formidable frontal should stick with longer, brow-skimming lengths.

Stuck somewhere in between?  Any form of fringe will work this fall!  Check what Rooney's tiny trimmings have turned into:
Ms. Mara, I love where this is going!

And here's a frisky little fringe I gave my ladylove, Jordan of Proper Vintage recently.  She, like the fellow goddess above, is on the grow from her summer shorties.  Swoosh, get it girl!

Well babes,
its GREAT to be back in business.  I've missed you so, and thank you for checking out my new project.  Stay tuned, be sure to follow, and spread the love, loves!

Con amor,
Meg
