Whenever I see a photo in a celeb magazine of Rihanna’s long-fringed pixie, which is constantly, all I can think of is: Gee, Rihanna sort of looks like American Idol David Cook. Also Ed Westwick
from “Gossip Girl” and Fall Out Boy lead singer Pete Wentz. What I’m getting at is that when you do your regular
hair education by practicing some of today’s popular short cuts on your mannequins (you do that, don’t you?), how much does
it really matter whether your mannequin was beheaded from a male body or a female one?
The cut I’m talking about, with male/female versions shown here, sweeps a textured fringe across one eye. It’s just edgy enough to be favored by rockers and young people, and it seems to me that one sex wears it as easily as the other, especially since Rihanna has brought it to front and center for the ladies.
Whenever you get clients to go point-cut short, they have to come in for frequent maintenance, so of course I encourage you to take
hair cutting education to sharpen your cutting skills for this potentially high-profit unisex-ish cut. I’ll also go out on a limb here and predict that once this cut drops off the hot-styles radar, it will morph into a great look for older women. I would love to know whether you’re doing this cut and, if so, whether the demand is more from men or from women. And I love receiving your pics!
