Truly #longhairgoals The first 2 photos are from Emma’s initial appointment. She told me she’d like A MILLION INCHES cut off! Slight exaggeration... but the last photo emphasizes what a big change it was. Emma created the before/after herself & I just think it’s brilliant! Sometimes, tbh a lot of times, hair is very sentimental to the wearer. I feel a real need to protect sensitive concerns like this. I’ll always do my best to listen and try to understand what...’s important to my clients. In October we revisited her shape and freshened up the tousled softness. Since then we’ve added more to frame her face - always evolving her ‘greatlengths’. ps: I’m awful at posting haircut photos. Stockpiling them for waaay too long, I know. The first photos are from December last year See more

Some recent wonderful presences I’ve been graced with Pretty hair should move!!

Fringes make a big difference. I’ve always been fond of framing the face with flattering bangs. They just suit everyone; longer, shorter or in between I was stoked when Rebekah asked for a fringe! The first time she came to see me was in June ( &). The thing is, it’s much more challenging to cut hair on a face that’s masked (cos of Covid). TBH in June, when I re-opened, it was an adjustment working with the new restriction of masks. Took a...bout a month to get into the hang of it So I’m grateful the initial obstacles are a thing of the past and now connections are growing & my haircut senses have grown too. In between cuts Rebekah got highlights ( !) so for this most recent shape I changed things up a bit. I feel like the curtain bangs balance really well with the face framing bits and slightly A-line textured lob. Rebekah you’re truly someone who radiates sweetness - thanks for trusting me!! @ Lot 161 Hair Studio See more

70’s style hair FOREVERRRRR

One of the things I’m most grateful for as a stylist is community connections. Like when someone special recommends me to another special It’s such a good feeling to be thought of as a person you can trust with your hair! That’s exactly how Beth came to see me (thanks Rebekah!). She hadn’t had her hair cut in a year and the goal was to keep as much length as possible. After cutting a strong perimeter I dried it, then created texture by adding many slide & point cuts. One s...ide needed extra weight removal because it was naturally heavier than the other side. As with faces, hair growth isn’t always symmetrical so cutting it the exact same on both sides isn’t necessarily the best course. Personalizing a haircut is everything! It was such an honor working on her hair She’s a total sweetheart & joyful soul to be around... also how cool is it that she saw Stevie Nicks play live once?! At that point of the conversation I may have dropped to the floor - can you imagine??! *photos taken Feb2020* See more

Reframed by bringing the fringe length back up & mixing scissor blunt perimeter with internal texture for increased movement. A few tiny fly-away bits that sometimes rest overtop the outline is something to celebrate rather than placate Wish the disconnected details around the ears were more visible but her mask is pretty to focus on too! Thank you @heycorahhh - you’re so patient with me while I play! @ Lot 161 Hair Studio

Curls come back to life after a proper haircut. (see how far these beautiful curls came - last photos show her before ) Being able to leave your hair in its natural texture changes everything... for the better. Air dried, blow dried or whatever, it all works! I gave her a trim on the length, because she wanted to keep as much as possible, but added long layers since most of the damage occurred on the top sections. All done with scissors except the long (to the cheekbone)... curtain fringe I did with the razor. Beginning a hair journey with someone is a thing I never take for granted. It feels really special to have clients place their trust in me to create a shape they love & look forward to styling themselves Okay and isn’t her smile just the loveliest ever?!! Such a cutie! (video in previous post taken without mask on but we stayed distanced & I wore my mask) See more

Encouraged movement to release her curl!

Loving Littles Blog has THE MOST hair!! She was ready to boost the length up a bit to help give her hair more flow & volume while removing heaviness. Reshapes like this keep the hair long but don’t look or feel weighed down, as well as encouraging lots of swing through deep point cuts. (2 before photos included) Great conversation and loads of laughs, it was a real joy seeing you Keisha. So grateful you gave me the opportunity to work on your beautiful hair! * i asked Keisha to take her mask off while i kept mine on just to take a few non-conversation photos from a distance *

Texture & the softest waves

I don’t know why exactly but I tend to hold onto photos of haircuts I’ve done for a long time before posting. I have sooo many saved up and definitely want to share them. Part of me feels like an artist exposing a personal portrait and hoping it’s appreciated in the way intended... but that’s just me over analyzing things as usual So here’s a sweet haircut memory from back in February. A combination of scissor with some razored accents and I gave her a fringe for the 1st time in years! @ Lot 161 Hair Studio
