Claire came in with an asymmetrical style she wanted to keep, but asked for it to be cut shorter. Yoshiko knew exactly what needed to be done.

She kept the style of partial over-the-face fringe, but had it shortened just a little.  The strands on the opposite side were trimmed considerably shorter, as well as the hair at the back of her neck.

Claire has a hip style perfect for a teenager. Easy-to-style tresses with a bit of texture on the back help to make this look stand out.

This was Adeienne’s second time in, and she wanted to lighten her hair to a platinum-blonde color, as well as add bangs to her look. After discussing with Yoshiko the different ways to go, they decided on a trim with the addition of front, sweeping bangs.

Yoshiko applied highlights and lowlights to give Adeienne the platinum color she wanted. However, because her hair is naturally dark, toner was applied to take out some of the brassiness. Had that not been done, the hair would have turned an orange or yellow color.

Adeienne’s hair ended up the color she was hoping for, with a style that gives more definition to her face. And her locks look softer and inviting to touch.

Milena hadn’t had a cut in quite some time, and it was in need of shaping. It was curly and poofing out to the sides.

After speaking with Yoshiko, she decided that a short bob cut with a dark, urban, terra cotta color would give the look desired. We used a semi-permanent color without chemicals. It’s easy to wash out, and is helpful for those who want to try out a color without damaging their hair.

The length all over was trimmed up–no longer does it fall down to her shoulders.

Milena’s hair is now in an easier to manage state. Not much styling or blow drying is required, and the new cut gives her eyes and skin a sharper look with a youthful appearance.

As you can see, when Jemma first came in, she had no front bangs. She wanted to fix that, as well as change her hair style to something a little shorter.

Speaking with Yoshiko, they decided that a shaggy bob cut would complement her new bangs nicely.

The asymmetrical bob with front bangs that drape across to the side help to highlight her facial structure (especially her cheeks). And it’s an easy-to-style look.

Kristi came in with her friend, Amanda. Like her, Kristi’s roots were showing and needed to be touched up. She always wanted her hair colored, but a cooler color than usual.

Before coming in, she had previously received a bad haircut elsewhere and wanted to fix it. Yoshiko trimmed it up a bit, but left as much length as possible.

Yoshiko also wanted to control the balance of the hair, so she evened out the thickness. The result is straight locks with coloring that not only looks natural, but still has vibrancy and is sure to catch some looks.
