It’s about finding a hair cut that compliments you rather than following the hair trends and keeping up to date with the hair fashions. And at Colorado Springs Illusions Salon we will work with you to find you the correct cut.
First, we assess your face and head shape – checking the balance of your features i.e. nose, mouth, ears and forehead.
We will also talk to you about your lifestyle, work demands, sports activities – in fact anything that will us give you not just the best haircut and style – but one that you can easily maintain at home.
This detailed hairstyle consultation ensures you get what you want – and we understand your needs.
Second, depending on your choice of hair style and cut, we use clippers or scissors which will have the following effects:
- Volume -density and amount of hair body
- Movement -swept, sleek, wavy, or structured
- Texture -sharp, wispy, smooth or blunt
Your Colorado Springs Illusions Salon hair stylist will be using a combination or all of these techniques depending on the direction of hair growth, volume and texture on your nape, bangs, sides and hair’s crown – as they can greatly differ.
The desire for individuality means hair fashions are diverse and there is no one ‘style fits all’. This is good news for those wanting a hairstyle that’s suits their face shape, lifestyle or just personal preference.
Unlike the 70’s and 80’s when it was custom to sport the latest hair style just because it was seen as current – most of the time it didn't take into account your own personal style!
Nowadays it all about being an individual and choosing a hair cut and style that is personal to you.
When considering your hairstyle, our cut & style experts will take into consideration facial features, face shape and your lifestyle needs such as time for home styling etc. Then you’ll discuss what hairstyle and cut is for you.
