Learn 2 long-layered cuts, 2 short cuts, 2 mid-length cuts, and 2 hair color techniques. The long-layered cut uses an asymmetric frame around the face, while short layers throughout ensure great movement and volume. The second cut, based on the Bi-level, contrasts a heavy full fringe that is cut back short to the sides and blends into long layered lengths at the back. Textured layers throughout soften the strong outline. Learn 2 short and sassy cuts and styles from Beverly Cobella. The jaw-length cut shows perimeter layering and short choppy layers at the crown to give a great textured effect. In the second cut, undercutting and razored layering give extra dimension. The sides and back are cut short, leaving long overlapping lengths over the top. Beverly Cobella demonstrates 2 mid-length cuts and styles. Short blunt layers and perimeter graduation enhance the first cut with a rounded outline shape and full asymmetric fringe. The second razor-cut is a great alternative to the classic bob shape. A beautiful concave line blends into a long asymmetric frame around the face. Razored layers soften the texture. Beverly Cobella demonstrates 2 haircolor techniques on two different cuts to uniquely enhance the line of the cut: Haircolor Veiling (multiple layers of haircolor by foiling/paneling) and Perimeter Haircolor Placement (haircolor placement on underlayer). Includes tips and information on the importance of haircolor choice.
