Quirk It Up (Angus Mitchell)

Undercutting, counterbalance and color designed to accentuate the disconnection make clients stand out from the crows. Prep with Refining Shampoo and Refining Conditioner. Begin cut on wet hair and then blow-dry with Styling Serum. Then dry cut using a "chewing" movement of the scissors, the shears never closing completely at the weight line from the undercut bottom segment. Finish with Illuminating Shine Spray.

Stroke It Out (Melissa Jaqua)

Hair is colored first to act as guide for the cut. Prep with Color Therapy Shampoo and Color Therapy Conditioner. Dry hair with Styling Serum and flat iron with Finishing Spray for a smooth flat finish to prepare for cut. First cut geometric lines in front and at the nape of the neck in the back which is going to act as a shadow underneath hair that will be shattered on top of it. Shape of internal layers is "like a table top", shorter at the top and get gradually longer at the perimeter. Stroking technique is used to remove weight and maintain length. Finish with Illuminating Shine Spray. (Photos copyright Paul Mitchell Systems - all rights reserved).

Twist and Shout (Jimy Angel)

Prep with Bodifying Shampoo and Bodifying Conditioner. Enhancing Foam applied prior to haircut because helps hair dry faster and keeps more securely in place. First cut geometric lines in the front section, then point cut your way through the length. In the back twist hair tightly in sections use "whittling" movement of the shears work down the entire section. Dry with diffuser, place barrel pin curls throughout the design to create soft flat curls and flat iron the pin curls to create a long-lasting set. Remove and comb through with fingers and finish with Illuminating Shine Spray and Finishing spray. (Photos copyright Paul Mitchell Systems - all rights reserved).
