The modern shag,

Everybody’s talking about the new cut in town! Although it turns heads, it’s actually not all that new. We are of course talking about the shag. This modern nod to the 70’s is just as mussed and layer-heavy as in the past but has a slightly softer approach. ( and it is soooo flattering!)
The shag haircut is a loose undone look that doesn’t have to be perfect.Your face shape determines how the cut will be customized. A few bits flicking out above the cheekbone can draw attention to the eyes. Or the layered crown creates height and can be quite slimming. It looks great for all ages and is easy to style with a few twists and curls.

Although what makes the shag really cool is its wearability factor. When it grows out it changes from a cool 60’s vibe to a breezy 70’s boho style in about 8 months
We cut the shag by creating a lot of choppy, feathered layers that frame your face and especially focus layers in the crown to create more volume and lift. We customize the cut by adjusting the length of the layers and texture. The haircut is then finished off with a fringe designed for your personal style.

The shag is beautifully androgynous by nature, and for decades you can find examples of the shag on many celebrities including Jane Fonda, Farrah Fawcett, David Bowie, and Rod Stewart just to name a few.
You may be wondering what makes a modern shag haircut, well, modern. While the classic shag is know for being groovy and full of volume. The modern version has a bit less volume and focuses more on the texture. The new styling products give the hair endless options for styling. Whether you like your hair with natural curl, messy texture, loose waves, or imperfectly straight. You will love this effortlessly cool lived in haircut!
