Soft Bobs

Transition your locks for summer by having your stylist create a soft bob angled toward your face. This   sophisticated cut works for most facial and hair types. And, by adding lowlights blended with your natural blonde hair color, a lighter overall tone will brighten your face for summer. Use a smoothing serum and flat-iron your hair for a classy, refined look or use a texturizer for tousled, care-free hair that looks great at the beach or out on the town.

Sassy Bobs

Get ready to spring into a stylish summer with a new look. Add a little sass to your bob and ask your stylist to create an edgier cut with razor-sleek angles and side-swept bangs to frame the face. Use wax or gel to accentuate your edgy cut.

Get a Bang out of Summer

This season’s new trend is side-swept bangs. Opt for long romantic side-swept bangs or the new, fun fringed cut. Keep-up your look and be sure you maintain your bangs. Use a smoothing serum or silk drops to add shine.

Welcome spring with these fresh and stylish trends.

Side-swept bangs offer a polished look that works great on any face shape. Whether you keep your hair long or go for the new cropped cut, side-swept bangs are romantic, fun and perfect for any season.

Choosing natural, lighter colors for your hair will help you evolve to a cooler look for the hot summer months ahead. Be sure you talk to your colorist about the most complementary tones for your hair and face.

"To create and keep these smooth looks, use a smoothing balm and light volumizing hairspray-ideal for the summer months," says Dorothy McKinley-Soressi, Vice President of Education for Empire Education Group.

In the meantime, change up your style with layers and highlights for a fresh, fun and versatile look this spring.

H2O = Perfect Skin
