CLASSROOM: Sam Villa's Tips on Cutting Fringe on a Round Face

Last Updated (Tuesday, 18 August 2009 15:29)

As we know different shapes of faces must be taken into consideration when giving clients their hair cut/style. Sam Villa breaks down how someone with a round face can still have fringe and how stylists can manipulate that cut. “Eyes tend to be drawn horizontally when looking at a round face, so I suggest having fringe cut shorter in the middle and longer on the sides.  This camouflages width and draws eyes vertically, which elongates the face,” explains Villa.

Villa also suggests using a comb instead of a brush when drying fringe because it gets closer to the scalp and provides more tension to control natural texture and redirect erratic growth patterns.

Celebrity Hair Stylist David Babaii's inspiration for Scarlett Johansson's style was a 40's Marilyn Monroe look with the illusion of a chin length "bob" without cutting any hair!

David breaks down his tips on how he achieved this look for Scarlett.

After drying her locks with Hair Polish applied to damp hair, David divided her tresses into 3 sections: top with a side part, sides and back leaving the nape area free.

To create these large barrel sized curls, he took alternating "V" shaped partings to avoid any part lines from showing through.

David used a 1 ½ inch FHI Heat Ceramic Curling Iron throughout her entire head.

Your clients are looking to save money during a recession. Keeping your clients happy is key so Krista Beahm from patrick mcivor color studio offers the following creative tips to help your clients avoid getting their hair colored at each visit.

“With the economy in its current state, I have many clients that need to stretch their haircolor as far as they can, so I’m doing much more tone-on-tone natural looking color. Instead of a full head of highlights, I’ll do face framing highlights, colored ends, or darken the new growth area, because these looks require less maintenance.  Instead of foiling hair at every visit, clients can go 3-4 visits without getting highlights. These techniques ensure that I keep my clients, even when they have less to spend,” states Beahm.
