Styles in this collection
- Long layered cuts with face-framing layers
- Shag haircuts — curly, straight and layered
- Wolf cuts with soft, blended layers
- Long cuts for thick hair with weight removed
- Long styles for fine hair that keep the ends full

Before you book
Ask where the shortest layer will start before the scissors come out — that one decision controls how much volume and movement the whole cut has.
Frequently asked questions
Do layers make long hair look thinner?
Heavy layering can thin out fine ends, which is why fine long hair does better with fewer, longer layers. Thick hair usually needs the opposite — enough layering to remove bulk and create movement.
What do I ask my stylist or barber for?
Ask for long layers with face-framing starting at the chin, and say whether you want a shaggy, textured finish or a smooth, blended one.
