Thank you to all the celebrities who have ”CUT IT OFF”
Don’t get me wrong I Love long hair and have many clients with long hair – however Studio DNA is starting the “Cut it off” campaign to encourage woman from all ages to break the myth that short is not sexy. Well it is sexy and then some! Gone are the days where men need long hair to drag their woman back to the cave. Women have certainly come a long way since those times and hopefully so have most men who are sometimes threatened by woman with short hair. Come on boys Short is Sexy and extremely feminine. Of course the right short hair style is absolutely important!
Nothing is more exhilarating for a hairstylist than when a client wants a major change and is willing to chop it all off. Some misconceptions by hairstylists and clients when giving someone a dramatic change is that you just chop it off and there you go – well that is not exactly how it is done by any means. A thorough consultation is required to determine face shape, body structure, lifestyle and maintenance of the new do.
I recently had the pleasure cutting off the hair of Model, Elizabeth Chait whom I met in her fabulous new restaurant, Playa on Beverly Blvd. She was once upon a time a very successful model and after three children and restaurant businesses, she decided to get back into what she really loves, modelling.
When I looked at her portfolio and saw a shoot she did many years ago where she had shorter hair, I turned to her and asked her “what are you doing with that long hair it’s not doing anything for you?? Well to my surprise she said, well lets cut it off – YAY I was hoping she would say that.
What was really fun about cutting Elizabeth’s hair is that she was willing and excited about it. It is important that a stylist is 100% sure before making such a big suggestion to a client. It is also important that you gauge where a clients comfort level is. Yes, some clients may need a little push, but as a stylist I try to be respectful if they really are not ready to do it.
Most women feel extremely liberated after making such a big change, however it is not for everyone and it is our job as Hairstylists to make that distinction. It can also be fun for a client to go short in stages so that she feels like she is getting three – four different looks in a year.
So if you are on the fence and need a little push, then this blog is for you. All of our artists are highly trained and skilled not just in the execution of their work, but also in being honest and comfortable to make the appropriate recommendations, even if it meant that they did not feel that cutting it off is the best option for you.
Please stay tuned for our regular blogging as we pick up momentum with our CUT IT OFF campaign.
I dare you to do it! Short is Sexy!
I don’t even know where to begin telling you about the incredible partnership with Sebastian and Studio DNA! So I just decided to start here…
Sebastian is fresh, fun and fearless which also happens to be their mantra – “Fearless Hair Fashion” I love this statement. It is bold and exciting. Danny and I were recently invited to experience it first hand at the exclusive two day Party, celebrating 25 years of Sebastian. The first event was held at the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood, followed by another big bash at the Paramount Studios back lot where “Fearless hair Fashion” made a very bold statement indeed.
The Volupt Series (Volupt Shampoo, Volupt Conditioner and the Volupt Spray): This will give you some serious volume!
