For Lauryn, Art Director Stephen Mendelson of Studio C Salon in Irvine, California created a medium geometric cut with a very lineal, architectural feel to the structure. A strong underneath perimeter is accented by a soft overlay of disconnected layers.

For the color, a rich red is interlaced with dark brown, medium brown and purple panels. The placement is in ¼ inch sections done in a circular pattern based on the curvature of the head. This created a very rounded feel to the color to offset the square-ness of the cut.

For Kianaz, stylist Heather Cha of Studio C Salon in Irvine, California created a strong A-line bob shape with concave layers to give a rounded and bulkier feel.  The cut is texturized all over for a shattered finish.

For her color, a series of brown panels and red slices break up the solid black base and work with the shape of the cut.

To style, S Factor Smoothing Lusterizer is applied all over on towel-dried hair before blow-drying and flat ironing, Aveda Control Paste is used to piece while Schwarzkopf Sparkler Shine Spray instills a soft luster.

For Kerry, Dee Lescault of Studio C Salon in Irvine, California used a series of disconnected triangles over an asymmetrical bob to create the cut then strategically applied the color to accent the cut. A medium golden blonde hue was infused with a brilliant light golden blonde for a highly dimensional effect.

To style, Dee rough-dried then applied Aveda Light Elements Defining Whip to piece.  For an undone version, she added Aveda Pure Abundance hair potion and edged out the style with her fingers.

Stylist Michael Dueñas of Studio C Salon in Irvine, California created a round graduated shape for Dana with concave layers on the sides and longer layers on the crown.  The bangs over her left eye are undercut for a bold disconnected and asymmetrical feel.

For her color, a deep brown copper is applied in a paisley shape and is broken up with panels of copper blonde. For added dimension, the color at the hairline is left out so that her natural color peaks through.

For Britney, stylist Steve Webber of Studio C Salon in Irvine, California created a fresh mid length style with texturized layers through the top and graduation with some disconnection through the back. The length is preserved at the corners to give a squared feel while a solid asymmetrical fringe frames her face.

For her color, a cool but intense red is applied all over and a black panel is placed in the front to break everything up.

Kim, a college student who wanted a more serious style. Her only other desire was to keep most of her length, which was just to her shoulders. Her naturally wavy hair was a natural ash blonde, which had such potential but just needed a kick start.

Pon started by highlighting her hair on top and on the sides where it was needed to enhance her natural color. Next he cut longer layers and a side bang for a rounded feel up top with shagginess on the bottom.

A young student named Jessica, had long straight hair with length to her mid back in a darker and solid ash brown. Pon created a more sophisticated look that is a mix of a pageboy and a modern shag. He started by cutting off about 4 inches of length, then layered all over to give more movement to the style. The layers allowed fullness on the top and but shagginess on the bottom with softly blended side bangs.

Her new color features a slightly warmer base in a richer brown and medium golden caramel highlights for dimension.

Haley needed a “pick me up” makeover. Her longer hair was bra length with very little movement or depth to her natural dark blonde strands.

Stylist Jaime Queenin of PON International cleaned up the cut by removing several inches of length, then applied low shaggy layers for movement. Her natural tawny dark blonde color was highlighted back through by taking a Z parting and adding some panels of blonde and chocolate brown to break everything up.

Chelsea’s hair was several inches longer and was almost all one length. Her naturally curly strands were a one tone dark brown.

To unlock Cheksea’s full potential, PON International stylist Shawnae Belvedere cut about four inches off taking the length just past the shoulders, then applied long layers for volume and to frame her face. She cut long, side bangs and texturized the ends.
