I’m about three months late on getting my hair cut. My bangs are cowlick-ing funny, the ends are kind of fried, and the shape could best be described as “poofy.” Even though I always love what my hairstylist Jay — hey, girl! — does to it, I kind of dread getting even just a trim. Why? Because while I’m stoked on what I see when I’m sitting in the chair, blown out to a glossy high shine, there’s that terrible period afterwards at home, when I struggle to recreate the perfection on my own. This doodle is sadly true, for me at least, but luckily it’s temporary. I always come around to loving a haircut, whether it’s subtle or drastic. How about you? Do you usually hate your hair post-cut?

Tilda Swinton’s bob in her new series of ads for Pringle of Scotland is absolutely breathtaking. We thought she was pretty badass before, but her new cut, which Swinton dubbed “warrior girl fringe,” takes her over the edge. Utter hairspiration. [Daily Mail] Keep reading »

Jennifer Aniston Hated The “Rachel” Haircut

Amelia McDonell-ParryJanuary 19, 2011 //

“Have there been disasters? I think that’s a very relative term with hair. Let’s say there have been moments I’d rather not relive, like that whole Rachel thing. I love Chris [McMillan, her hairstylist], and he’s the bane of my existence at the same time because he started that damn Rachel, which was not my best look. How do I say this? I think it was the ugliest haircut I’ve ever seen. What I really want to know is, how did that thing have legs? Let’s just say I’m not a fan of short, layered cuts on my personally, so I don’t love revisiting that particular era.”

– Jennifer Aniston admits to Allure that, oh, the most famous haircut of all time, that the rest of the universe got because she had it, is actually totally fugly. Too little, too late, Jen! You should have spoke up then! [Huffington Post] Keep reading »

Bad Haircut Blues: Go Shorter Or Deal With It?

Leonora EpsteinDecember 15, 2010 //

I have a question to pose to the class. Last week, I got a horrible haircut. Now, to say it is The World’s Worst Haircut would be stretching it, but it’s still pretty crappy. How can I describe it for you … think: Donny Osmond meets David Cassidy meets JTT circa 1996. First of all, one should never find oneself in this type of situation because we should all be confident and brave enough to stand up to our hairdressers when they start doing something weird, right? Well, call me a wimp, but I stayed silent as some dude flicked his scissors around my ‘do, which became increasingly mullet-like before my own eyes.

How Do You Deal With A Bad Haircut?

Carrie MorrisseySeptember 28, 2010 //

Have you ever had a really bad time at a hair salon? Recently I went to a salon to get a dye job — a well-known salon with what seemed like a good reputation. After an expensive and not very pleasurable experience (in which the salon owner told me I shouldn’t come back unless I was prepared to maintain my look), I started to ask myself why do we put ourselves in positions to trust people who, most likely, have nothing invested in us or our hair?

Janet Jackson Cut Off Her Hair!

Bianca PosterliMay 20, 2010 //

Most people celebrate their birthdays by opening gifts and blowing out candles. Janet Jackson marked the day a bit differently. For her 44th birthday, Janet went a little bit crazy (in a good way) and cut off most of her hair! (Either that, or she normally wears wigs and opted to go without.) Just two weeks ago, she walked the red carpet at the annual Costume Institute with her long locks pulled back into a tight bun, and apparently she loved the sleek look so much, she decided to get rid of it for real! It’s a drastic change from the usual long curly hair we see on Ms. Jackson, but she certainly has the bone structure to pull off the face-revealing style. What do you think of her freshly shorn hair?

Is There Such A Thing As A Man-Repelling Haircut?

Leonora EpsteinMay 5, 2010 //

A few weeks ago, I chopped off all my hair. For the most part, I’m loving it, but I’ve also been having a weird/hilarious adjustment period. My latest thing is that I’m convinced my hair is man-repelling. That is to say, I get the sense that guys find the look intimidating, the same way they might not be turned on by high-waisted jeans or harem pants. In all likelihood, it’s probably my deer-in-headlights look that guys tend to mistake for ice queen death stares. Though, I do have to wonder if the change in going-out dynamics isn’t due to my borderline andro haircut.

It’s just that I’m pretty sure all guys are guys, and may find a short-haired girl “cute” but inevitably, by default, they fantasize about women with long hair they can run their fingers through. I asked our resident man-in-charge, John DeVore, for his thoughts on the matter … Keep reading »

Should I Get A Cut Or Color First?

Leonora EpsteinNovember 16, 2009 //

I go to two separate hairdressers for my cut and color, yet often I like to schedule both appointments within a few days of each other to take care of my hair as quick as I can. Perhaps you also have stylists you stay loyal to, or you’re pressed for time and need to make two different visits—which do you do first, the cut or the color? Keep reading »
