It seems 2023 is starting off with some fun looks. After a couple years of shagadelic haircuts and mullety styles, the trending looks are taking a more classic approach these days. While shags and mullets may have had their run, the bob is turning out to take centerfold. The great thing about a bob is that it’s so versatile. There...

When it comes to cutting hair, there are many tools available to stylists and barbers. Two of the most common tools are scissors and razors. Both tools have their benefits and drawbacks, and knowing when to use each one is an important skill for anyone who cuts hair. In this article, we will discuss when you should use scissors versus...
What are Scissors Good For?
Scissors are a staple in any hair cutting kit and it’s the first tool a stylist or barber likely learns with. They are a versatile tool that can be used to create a wide range of haircuts, from blunt cuts to layered styles for both men and women and short and long hair. Scissors provide more control and precision than a razor. So if the goal is a blunt, defined, structured hairstyle, such as a one length haircut or a blunt bob, scissors are likely the best choice.
What are Razors Good For?
Razors are best used for creating softer, more textured haircuts. Razors are especially useful for creating layers, adding texture and removing weight. Unlike scissors, razors can create a softer, more natural-looking finish that is perfect for a lived-in look. A lived-in style feels like someone has had the haircut for a while and it’s not fresh out of the salon or barbershop. Some haircuts such as shags, pixies and mullets benefit highly from using a razor.
What about Curly Hair?
Curly hair is a little tricky and controversial. Curly hair can be cut with either a scissor or razor, but the results really depend on the technique of the haircutter. Having control at the ends is key to prevent frizziness. Razors are often know to create texture so one might think razors are not appropriate for curly hair. However, if used with intention, razors pose no detrimental issues when cutting curly hair. Razors should be used to cut a soft line but not super textured. The lines should have some firmness to it with a definite line.
It should be noted that scissors are not totally free from frizz creation. Sometimes using scissors or texturizing scissors to create texture at the ends can result in frizz. So learning from a professional who has a deep understanding of cutting curly hair is your best bet for how and when to use scissors and razors to cut curly hair.
Can Scissors and Razors be used on Dry Hair?
It’s widely accepted that haircutting tools are best used when hair is wet. But what about on dry hair? While stylists and barbers have differing opinions, many agree that dry haircutting is acceptable in certain instances. If at the end of the haircut you realize something was missed, a little dry haircutting is appropriate. So using scissors and razors for finishing touches is okay. But in general, for the full haircut, wet hair is best.
What else to Consider?
When using scissors or razors to cut hair, it is important to use a sharp, clean blade. A dull blade can cause damage to the hair, leading to split ends and breakage. It is also important to use the correct technique when using these tools as improper technique can lead to uneven cuts and damage to the hair.
What about Hair Thickness and Density?
With regards to hair thickness and density, it doesn’t really matter. Razors and scissors can be used on any of these hair types. Again, it’s all about the technique. It’s good to note that razors are exceptionally good at removing weight and bulk in a more natural way but may not be as easy to use when it comes to thin or fine hair.
The main takeaway when it comes to whether you should use scissors or razors to cut hair is to ask yourself what kind of hairstyle you’re trying to achieve. You can create a bob with a scissor or a razor and you can get two totally different bob looks. Both tools are great and have their uses, but probably the best way to approach haircutting is to incorporate both for various areas of the haircut that would benefit from either tool. Knowing when to use each tool is an important skill for any stylist or barber which can help ensure clients receive the best possible haircut for their hair type and style.

If you haven’t heard of No Shave November, it was a movement started in 2009 by the Hill family in Chicago when their father passed away from colon cancer. Since then it’s become an annual tradition to raise money for charity to educate about cancer and support cancer initiatives. The premise is that for the whole month of November participants...
1) Seeing a beard of this thickness and length is not a frequent sighting! To grow beard hair this long takes real commitment and dedication. This beard looks well-maintained. Kudos to him for being able to manage it so well.View this post on Instagram
2) If you thought the first beard was crazy, this one will blow you away! How anyone can grow a beard this thick and this long is amazing. This is more hair than most people have on their head. But it’s probably quite heavy and difficult to manage and maintain. Regardless, facial hair of this stature is unique, eye catching and takes a lot of maintenance to keep it nice and groomed. What he lacks on top of his head he makes up for in facial hair!View this post on Instagram
3) Transitioning to a more tamed and groomed beard and mustache, this look is clean and to be honest, quite perfect. You almost don’t want to touch it for fear it will lose perfection. The crisp lineup, the even hairs at the bottom shape by scissors and the shaped mustache make this facial hair one to remember. The thickness and density are superb and the styling is fantastic. Paired with the rimmed glasses and slick back hair and he’s got quite a style going on.View this post on Instagram
4) While there’s likely not a pot of gold in that mustache, it certainly rings good luck. A fun twist on facial hair for St. Patrick’s Day, this Irish coloring is festive and fun. See…even beards can have fun with color. Think of other holidays and how a beard can transform with color.View this post on Instagram
5) While these beards and mustaches aren’t anything unique, what’s fun about it is the father son look. Where dad’s beard is completely white, the son’s beard is completely black. It’s a true representation of ‘like father, like son’ and the genetic tendencies to pass down how thick your facial hair can get based on your parent’s genes.View this post on Instagram
6) Speaking of white beards, check out this Santa beard with a twisted mustache. It’s a cool look that only some can pull off. But a beard and mustache like this must be maintained and groomed regularly to give it shape and style. He does a good job of this.View this post on Instagram
7) This man’s beard is really interesting. Black with white streaks, it almost looks intentional. But as artistic as it looks, when you start to go white you really have no control over where the white will come in. Sometimes it’s just fun to see what happens and where your hair color naturally goes.View this post on Instagram
8) Moving onto mustaches, this looks like it was curled with a curling iron! With the perfect twists at the end, the double handlebar is sure to get a double look from people passing by. A stache of this design requires a lot of wax to keep such a firm hold.View this post on Instagram
9) This mustache is quite different from the last. If you didn’t trim your mustache above the lips, this is what it would look like. It’s so thick and long, but still requires maintenance. Mustache wax helps to keep hairs in place.View this post on Instagram
10) Last but not least, the batstache. Yes, it’s completely stylized, but how can we write an article about beards and mustaches and not include the batstache? This takes precision and an artistic eye to make this shape. Using a razor to get that perfect shape is key to this look. A great Halloween facial hair look or for any Batman lover, the batstache is fun and awesome! Well that’s it for our 10 beard and mustache looks to consider. But more importantly, we shed light on a serious topic…cancer. By spreading awareness of cancer, we can learn how to prevent it and support causes that have meaning.

Ahh…Halloween. The holiday where people get to be someone completely different from who they are. People take the time to get creative with their looks. From hair to clothes to make-up and shoes, Halloween is the one holiday where we can just express our creative juices in any way we want. Over the years, Halloween has progressively gotten more and...
2. @tiffanymhair Can we say Maleficent? Wow, this one really takes the cake for a beautiful job well done. From the horns to the dullish colors, this one is hard to beat. One of the most reposted Halloween hairstyles on Instagram, it's no wonder why. Just making the horns could be half the battle. Of course, the horns don't have to be this big, but they definitely make a statement. Evil and demonic, that's what Halloween is all about.View this post on Instagram
3. @hairbyrobertina Play it cool with a discreet undercut. While the spider web is popular, the design doesn't have to be of a web. If you're good at making designs (or would like to be) try a skeleton, pumpkin, ghost or whatever you fancy that says 'Halloween' to you. For a more noticeable reveal, tie the hair up for everyone to see. Using a clipper or razor you can achieve some fantastic designs like this one.View this post on Instagram
4. @hairby_arci_ Channeling a Game of Thrones vibe, this blue-ish romantic hairdo is beautiful and grotesque at the same time! Without the spiders and skeleton hands, the hairdo would be perfect as wedding hair. But alas we are talking about Halloween here so there needs to be a touch of death. This romantic hairdo could be changed up by using different trinkets and a different hair color. It's the hairstyle we would want if were laying in our own coffin.View this post on Instagram
5. @pelo.guapo Have short hair? Like buzz cut short hair? This one is for the short hair peeps. The best part is, you can shave it all off whenever you want. But who wants to shave off a cute skeleton face? This Nightmare Before Christmas Jack face is a great style for those who want something unique but not too complicated. Unfortunately, if you're trying to do this to yourself, you're gonna have problems. This one is best done on someone else for good reason. Plus, you're going to need a creative eye for making faces. Experiment with other designs like a spider, witch or maybe some candy corn. Get creative and add some fun colors to make it pop.View this post on Instagram
6. @yuni_yoshida It's gorgeous and morbid, but nonetheless striking. What more can be said about this masterpiece. Instead of cutting into the hair to create a design, how about actually making a design out of the hair? This one blows our mind in that it takes careful attention to detail and precision to make this look come to fruition. But if perfected, this look would be the talk of the town. Such creativity does not go unnoticed. Take your hair design to the next level with something like this.View this post on Instagram
7. @ironrosesalon and @maryjane_guerrero Doing a hair design doesn't mean all the hair has to be short. Just carving out one section of the head can be punk rock, but keeping the rest of the hair long and flowy (even curly) can bring some feminine vibes back into the style. This one incorporates a graveyard with some spider webs, some orange pops of color and soft curls. What a combination! Is anyone else wondering what the other side looks like?View this post on Instagram
8. @seagreenehair If you find you're going to be out at night on Halloween (which most people do), this glow in the dark look is brilliant. Imagine being in a dark room but standing out with bright hair and a Jack-o-lantern face? Super cool. Even in non-dark situations this look would stand out like a sore thumb. This look would take a bit of time but the results would be worth every minute.View this post on Instagram
9. @viola_pyak If you're looking for something classy but not too difficult, this ponytail spiderweb will do just that. No need to color hair or tease it to oblivion. This Halloween-ish look is sexy and sophisticated at the same time. Keep hair simple and easy to manage with this spidery style. It's sure to still turn heads and get lots of compliments.View this post on Instagram
10. @sarahmasoncreative Instead of using a real witch's hat, why not just make it out of hair? Of course, a lot of hair would be needed and long hair at that! Plus, a good teasing comb, hairspray and a crimper would be good to have in order to create the volume needed for this one. A touch of temporary hair color adds some dimension and pop to the style. If you're adventurous, this one could be a lot of fun.View this post on Instagram
So that's it folks! These 10 Halloween inspirational looks should give you some ideas for yourself, your clients or your family and friends. Halloween is a time for fun and creativity...and maybe candy. But here's your time to shine and show what you can really do with hair. Get inspired. Get creative. Get in the spirit of Halloween!View this post on Instagram

Fourth of July is a holiday where we take a moment to celebrate our freedom. We should give thanks to our forefathers before us for the ability to live independently and free. Almost 250 years later, we are still celebrating this day which often comes in the form of parades, BBQs, weekend events, music and more! Like many other holidays,...
@jackieinmanhair uses extensions and color to create this cool fourth of July hairstyle. With horizontal tones of red and blue down platinum blonde hair, this is a great style for a fun weekend on the lake, at a concert or other event where you can let loose and just enjoy the sun and festivities.View this post on Instagram
@hairby_laine takes a stab at darker tones of red and blue on dark hair to give this rich independence day hairstyle. Curled for depth and added style, this look is great for someone who has naturally dark hair but wants fun colors.View this post on Instagram
@kissysbombshellbeauties creates a ‘look at me’ style that will turn heads. Bright red, white, and blue spikey hair on top, buzz cut on the sides and colored stars on the side scream fourth of July loud and clear. This look is great for true attention getters and those who love expressing themselves through their hair.View this post on Instagram
@paintitblonde makes 4th of July romantic with this wavy long haired red, white and blue hairstyle. Keeping the blue at the front of the head gives the style a focal point. The red at the bottom half of the hair gives it a dramatic pop. The beautiful curls keep this look feminine and soft.View this post on Instagram
@mysalonsuite_southhillspgh makes braids fun when it comes to the fourth of July. Weaving in red, white and blue hair into three French braided sections, as well as some white ribbon, this is a cool hairstyle for an outdoor event, the beach or BBQ. It’s nice for those hot summer days when all you want to do is keep your hair out of your face and off your sticky back!View this post on Instagram
@samirasjewelry can we say gorgeous?! So romantic and yet requires no hair color or extensions or hair pieces. She creates a beautiful hairstyle that could even be wedding hair and simply places some red and blue flowers into the hair for that fourth of July touch.View this post on Instagram
@helmet_hair has this cute little boy smiling with this red, white and blue hairstyle. After the color has washed out, the hair can easily be buzz cut off to start a fresh new look. But for now, this 4th of July style will make him the talk of the party.View this post on Instagram
@studio226salonsuites designs a cute style for youthful girls incorporating a braid and pops of red, white and blue color into the hair as well as some star hair décor. It’s great for a parade, BBQ get togethers or a fun day with family and friends.View this post on Instagram
@shannyscissorhands has a similar look to @kissysbombshellbeauties except for the hair is much longer in the front and tapers off toward the back. The stars are a bit different but this has a more mohawk look that requires some serious dedication. @houseofhue_anahleejohnson might now have red or white in her hairstyle, but she incorporates a star hair design in this perfectly done undercut. It’s such a cool way to celebrate 4th of July in a different way. With curly blue hair on top, this style is a great summer short hair look. Unfortunately, this image couldn't be embedded so you can see the look here. Fourth of July is a time to celebrate our freedom and a declaration of independence dating all the way back to 1776. While the meaning is still the same, people use it as a time to express their own individuality and freedom to express themselves whether that be through hair, clothes, make-up or whatever else they feel suits them. If you’re looking for some fun 4th of July hair inspiration, this is a fun collection that should get your juices stirring! Happy fourth everyone and stay safe.View this post on Instagram

It’s wedding season and you know what that means? It’s all about the bride and groom, making their special day one to remember. For the bride, she wants it to be perfect, the perfect dress, shoes, makeup and of course hair. As a stylist, your job is to make her hair look beautiful so she can walk down that aisle...
Instead of building the focal point of the style on the top of the head, this one builds it to the back. Created by @salomemng, this style creates a structured knotted look. Like a defined pattern there’s something about this look that creates a sense of perfectionism. While not a curled look, it does give off a sense of curls with the big loops. Decorate it with a beautiful rhinestone accessory.View this post on Instagram
@dianaperaltamakeup created this sleek and seemingly simple updo. With a rhinestone headpiece, this look pairs up nicely with a sleek dress. Simple lines on the dress match the sophisticated aura of this hairstyle. While many bridal hairstyles feature large loose curls, this one is completely the opposite. Gorgeous and stylish, it’s a beautiful updo for a classy bride to be.View this post on Instagram
This style is similar in that the hair is brought to the lower back of the head. However, this updo by @lisamariehair__ has a more romantic, whimsical look and feel. Instead of the slick back hair around the head, the hair cascades to the back in defined curled strands. Floral accents are all the rage right now and fit nicely with romantic looks. In this case the baby’s breadth and the use of real flowers adds a more natural look to the style. With some dangling curled strands of hair in the front and back as well as loosely pinned up hair in the back, this makes for a nice hybrid between a structured and flowy look. Gorgeous!View this post on Instagram
A simpler look, this style is classy. Using the JATAI Teasing Pin Comb to achieve some of the internal volume, the hair is loosely tied back and pinned up in 3 horizontal sections. Add a piece of hair jewelry and you have this simple look that works with a variety of dress styles. Versatile and clean, it makes for a pretty bridal updo. Created by @hairbysaretta.View this post on Instagram
If you’re looking for an updo that is completely romantic and whimsical, this is it. @bridalhairbykatelyn uses big braids and loose flowing curls to create this look. Braids have been incorporated into bridal hairstyles for as long as bridal hair has been around. But these large braids are a more modern development that has changed the game for bridal hair. This look creates a lot more volume around the crown of the hair.View this post on Instagram
This last look before we head into the longer looks is a unique mohawk-like updo. While many brides might not consider this as the style they’d like, for some edgier brides, this could be of interest. Pining curled sections from the top of the head all the way down to the back of the head makes this style interesting, fun and daring. Pair it with some feminine pearls or hair jewelry and you’ve got this stunning look. This is another look from @lalasupdosView this post on Instagram
If you’re looking for longer bridal styles, this one by @hairbydanielletranter puts romance and femininity into play. Large curls that cascade down but pinned together makes this hairstyle sweet and soft. Floral accents don’t have to consist of real flowers. They can be artificial and still look great. Placing floral accents down the length of the hair adds another lovely touch.View this post on Instagram
Another long one, this one incorporates a big braid that goes down the length of the hair. With highlights in the hair, it makes this look feel more earthy and allows the braid to have more dimension. The hair jewelry that follows the path of the braid is a nice accent to this gorgeous style. This is another winner by @bridalhairbykatelyn!View this post on Instagram
For anyone looking for something different but want to keep the hair long, this beauty by @hairbysaretta takes a stab at long hair with flowers made out of hair. The three flowers that cascade down the hair is a unique and gorgeous look that any bride would love. The flowers are made out of braids and the whole look was created using the JATAI Teasing Pin Comb.View this post on Instagram
Lastly, another one by @bridalhairbykatelyn, this one is probably the simplest of all. This style uses the half up, half down look. It gives a boho vibe that is so popular right now. Light waves in the hair and the romantic topsy tail style makes this look attractive and sweet. She also uses extensions to achieve this look.View this post on Instagram
For more wedding hair inspo, check out each of these stylists and their updo looks. Wedding time is a beautiful time of year. We celebrate love and connection. Brides deserve their special day. Let’s give every bride the hair they will remember forever.View this post on Instagram

In today’s world, manicures and nail polish are basically synonymous with women. After all, women (as opposed to men) are generally more into beauty and fashion trends. However, things are changing. And as gender lines continue to blur and androgynous looks and styles evolve, we continue to question what is ‘socially acceptable’ and what is not. Men don’t usually think...
At the forefront of the male manicure is Harry Styles. A fashion trendsetter and icon, Harry has not been shy about showing the world his unique style. From fur to lace to pearls and ruffles, Harry always manages to make it all still look sexy and cool. He can rock the manicured nails, showing off nails painted with happy faces or pastel colors. Or he can make it a point to dress his nails with a variety of colors paired with large opulent rings around his fingers. He’s shown them off in various ways and people are noticing. While Harry is not the first man to wear nail polish, he is leading the way to a greater trend at large. If you think back far enough you may remember some other high-profile artists who liked to challenge the status quo. Kurt Cobain from Nirvana would often wear chipped nail polish and metal bands such as Aerosmith and Motley Crue liked to wear black nail polish. Johnny Depp has always been a user of nail polish and even Seal has been known to wear a coat or two. But these guys are not the first men to wear nail polish. In fact, men have been wearing nail polish for centuries, 3000 BC to be precise. While the nail polish ingredients are quite different today, so are its meaning. In ancient times, nail polish was used to signify class rankings or worn by men in preparation for battle. And then somewhere along the line, manicures and nail polish became primarily associated with women and indicative of beauty. A lot can change over thousands of years!View this post on Instagram
Today, while the use of nail polish or getting manicures by men has primarily been a trend for artists and musicians, there is a great possibility it will reach the masses soon. Today, more than ever, celebrities have closer ties to their fans. With social media and mini celebrities of social media, the transition from celebrity to mini celebrity to the masses is no longer 6 degrees of separation. This means trends can easily hop to the masses in an instant. To top it off, men are becoming more aware of their own beauty. The boom in men’s grooming began about a decade ago and it’s still going strong. What started off with a boom in men’s grooming products such as razors, shaving creams, beard and moustache oils and skincare products, the trend has continued to expand to various trendy hairstyles, more bold fashion and now….man-icures and nail polish. Afterall, why should women have all the fun? Having groomed nails is attractive to anyone and adding a little color doesn’t hurt nobody. Right? Even rappers are cashing in on the trend. Like clothing, like hairstyles and like shoes, nail art is a form of expression. And as we move more toward genderless hair and fashion statements, it’s only natural for genderless manicures and painted nails to make its way to the mainstream. If anything, if it makes you feel good, then why not?View this post on Instagram

While a large focus is always on women’s hair trends, there is growing attention on men’s hairstyles. With more options and a desire to create greater versatility for men, men’s grooming, fashion and hairstyles are growing in a big way. Getting through the pandemic has been tough, but 2021 became a year of finally being able to see the light...
Along the same lines, the classic crew cut continues to be popular and will remain popular throughout 2022. Like the bob, this hairstyle never goes out of style. Even shorter on the top, this is a very manageable hairstyle. Very little maintenance is needed on a daily basis. However, regular haircuts are required to keep it looking sharp and clean. In these haircuts, it's important to clean up necklines and sideburns for final finishes with a razor.View this post on Instagram
2022 will also feature some longer styles with parts. With longer hair on top reaching the ears, the hair can be worn straight with a center part or tousled to the side. Hair on the sides is somewhat short but not tight to the head. This is a more romantic look. It’s sexy yet still masculine. Finneas and Sebastian Stan are popularizing this hairstyle in a big way.View this post on Instagram
Moving into 2022, men’s hair will remain on the shorter side. For the most part, men still like styles that are simple, easy to maintain yet look stylish. Tight fades will be popular for a long time but the trend of some longer hairstyles will be interesting watch. With longer hair comes more unique styles and more versatility. Only time will tell what will come to fruition.View this post on Instagram

Can you believe it? It’s almost 2022! 2021 was a whirlwind of a year but it flew by in a blink of an eye. While we continued to battle the trials and tribulations of the pandemic and adjusted to a new normal, hair trends continued to evolve. Afterall, in a world where we feel little control over larger economic and...
But we will see a greater focus on shorter shags in 2022. Also, soft, piecey and layered, the short shag is fun, cute and spunky. With a slight curl or wave, the layers of a short shag give more volume to the hair but it’s less dramatic than the long shag.View this post on Instagram
Along, the lines of the short shag, the French bob, will continue to grow. The French bob has a more European look, hence ‘French.’ Shorter than a short shag, the French bob is generally above chin length and is paired with some sort of bangs (baby bangs, heavy bangs). It’s also somewhat curled or straight or sometimes curled at the ends. The French bob is a super cute haircut that can be sophisticated, playful and indie depending how it’s styled. Look for more French bobs come 2022.View this post on Instagram
The blunt bob will also trend in 2022. It’s low maintenance, sleek and simple. Thanks to Kourtney Kardashian, she has popularized this haircut lately. With either a hard part down the middle or to the side, the stick straight look is sexy and sophisticated. It’s a very precise cut best achieved with scissors. While it’s always been a classic bob cut, its ability to be glamourous and versatile is the draw to this haircut right now.View this post on Instagram
Lastly, how can we forget about the mullet. Who would have ever thought the mullet would come back in a big way? Well it has and it will continue to do so through 2022. But the mullet of today is not the same as the mullet of the past. Today’s mullets are more colorful and have greater variation. Some mullets are long, some are short, some have shaved sides and others don’t. The mullet has so much variety, it’s the spice of life right now in trending haircuts. It’s rebellious. It’s bold. It’s rocker. And people like this haircut because they get to express themselves in a cool and fun way. But one of the most unique things about this haircut is that it crosses genders. Both men and women have taken to this haircut in a big way. Androgynous hairstyles are a trend we will see more of in the future as gender lines continue to blur.View this post on Instagram
Speaking of expression, the other trendy haircut for 2022 may just be the shaved head with hair dye designs. With this hairstyle, you are sure to stand out and make a statement. Rebellious, the shaved head is being popularized by women with unique and creative designs made with hair dye. From animal print to bright colors to checkers, flames and flowers, the options are limitless. Not only is hair dye used to create a design but hair is also cut to create patterns within the hair.View this post on Instagram
We never truly know what will take off each year, but based on what we are seeing here at the end of 2021 we are going to expand on what’s already popular in 2021.
