Who would suit this haircut?

The modern shag haircut is perfect for those who want a low-maintenance, effortlessly stylish look that adds texture and volume to their hair. So, we chatted with Clyde, our international creative director, he believes anyone can pull off a shag – it is all about finding the right cut and style for your face features and your lifestyle. We have got you covered on both.

Shag is absolutely flattering for those with medium to thick hair, as the layers enhance natural movement and create a playful, tousled effect. The shag works beautifully on various face shapes, especially oval, round, and heart-shaped faces, as the framing layers help soften features and highlight cheekbones. With its versatility, the modern shag is ideal for anyone looking to embrace edgy style with a touch of personality and charm.

How do I style shag haircut?

Styling a shag haircut is super low-maintenance and works with your natural hair texture. To get the best look, start with a light leave in conditioner or texture spray to boost volume and define layers. For more messy, effortless kind of vibe, let your hair air-dry, or scrunch it gently while blow-drying to bring out the texture.

If you have straighter hair, try adding a touch of sea salt spray or a lightweight mousse to create more movement. You cam also use a diffuser on low heat or curl random sections with a curing wand.

You know the drill, the best part – a shag doesn’t require daily styling. Even just a trim every few months keeps it looking fresh with minimal effort.

Timeless bob haircut

“The bob is timeless, and basically the equivalent to your staple little black dress,” says Clyde.

The bob never goes out of style, but in 2024-25, we’re seeing new variations that add excitement to the traditional cut. The “micro bob,” a super-short version, is perfect for those looking for a bold change. Alternatively, the “lob” (long bob) continues to be a top choice for those who want something versatile but still trendy. This year,get ready to see all the possible bob styles on stylish New york streets.

Our amazing team of stylists is here to help you find the perfect shape for you – so the only thing you will be wondering is, “Why didn’t i do this sooner?”

Is a bob haircut suitable for fine or thin hair?

Yes, certain bob styles, like the layered bob, can add volume and movement, making them ideal for fine or thin hair.

How do I choose the right bob haircut for my face shape?

• Round Face: Opt for an angled bob with longer front pieces to elongate the face.
• Square Face: A soft, layered bob with some texture or waves works well to balance sharp jawlines.
• Oval Face: Most bob variations work, but a blunt bob can highlight symmetry.
• Heart-Shaped Face: A long bob or lob (long bob) with layers around the chin area can help balance a narrow chin.
• A layered bob with volume at the crown and soft bangs can soften the angles.

Can a bob haircut work with curly hair?

Yes, a bob can be great for curly hair, but it’s important to customize it for your curl type. A layered bob can help reduce bulk and allow curls to fall more naturally. For tighter curls, a longer bob or lob is often preferred to prevent too much volume at the sides.

The ’90s It Girl Chop

Any fashion is cyclical, as are hair styles, but each return is different. A nostalgic haircut that takes inspiration from the grunge, minimalist, and chic styles of the 1990s. Popularized by fashion icons like Winona Ryder, Jennifer Aniston (as Rachel), and Drew Barrymore, this cut is a modernized take on the sleek and effortless haircuts of the decade. 

Styling Tips for the 90’s chop:

• Air-Dry or Loose Waves: One of the most iconic ways to wear this chop is by letting your hair air-dry or using a curling iron to add loose, undone waves. This keeps the style true to the ’90s carefree vibe.
• Flat Iron for Sleekness: If you prefer a sleeker look, you can use a flat iron to straighten the hair with a slight bend at the ends. The key is to keep it smooth but still have some volume.
• Texturizing Spray: Use a texturizing spray or sea salt spray to enhance the natural texture of the hair. This adds grit and volume, perfect for creating that lived-in, rock-chic vibe.
• Minimal Product: One of the best aspects of this cut is that it doesn’t require heavy styling. Opt for light, flexible products (like a light mousse or a dry shampoo) to keep it feeling natural and not weighed down.
• Bangs Styling: If you opt for bangs, they can be styled to either frame your face with a soft side sweep or left messier for a more relaxed vibe. Curtain bangs are particularly popular, offering a 90s vibe without fully committing to a straight-across fringe.

Celebrities Who Rocked the ’90s It Girl Chop

• Winona Ryder: Her choppy, layered hair in movies like Reality Bites is a quintessential ’90s look.
• Jennifer Aniston (as Rachel Green): While Rachel’s famous cut was a bit more polished, it still had those choppy, shaggy layers that gave it volume and movement.
• Drew Barrymore: Drew’s ‘90s hairstyle was often a relaxed, choppy lob with bangs or soft layers, giving her a carefree, fun vibe.
• Natalie Imbruglia: Her signature choppy cut, especially during her “Torn” era, epitomized the grunge-inspired ’90s hairstyle.

Who Should Avoid the ’90s It Girl Chop?

• Very Curly Hair: If you have tight curls, this cut may be more challenging, as the texture can make the layers more difficult to manage and define. It’s important to consider how your hair will react to layers before committing.
• Super Short Hair: If you’re looking for a drastic short chop, be aware that the ‘90s It Girl chop tends to work best with at least medium-length hair.

When looking to get your haircut done,

there are several key factors to keep in mind. First, always communicate clearly with your stylist about the look you’re going for, including any references or pictures. It’s essential to take your hair texture and face shape into account, as these can influence how a style will look on you. Don’t hesitate to ask for recommendations, as experienced stylists can guide you toward a cut that complements your features. Also, consider the maintenance required for the style—some cuts require more upkeep than others, so be sure you’re comfortable with the level of commitment needed. Lastly, choose a salon with a reputation for quality and expertise to ensure you’re in good hands.
