Limp locks are given new life thanks to the creative style genius of the Mouton Salon Team of Mouton Salon in Grapevine, TX. Soft strands are snipped into heavy layers, which provide the classic bob with lots of depth and movement to transform tresses into a modern masterpiece. Tantalizing textures are flat-ironed then tousled with a bit of pomade for a piecey effect. Photo by Global Hair & Fashion Group.

A dull blonde hue and a shapeless silhouette is transformed into one bangin’ profile by Noel Delisle of L Salon & Color Group in San Mateo, CA. An all-over platinum haircolor shines with subtle tones of gold cinnamon radiating throughout the lush fringe. Bangs are swept to the side with the help of a flat iron, which also flips face-framing layers in varying directions. Photo by Global Hair & Fashion Group.

Lackluster lengths get a modern makeover from Noel Delisle of L Salon & Color Group in San Mateo, CA. A blasé haircolor becomes shiny and vibrant with an illuminating color transformation resulting in a golden hue with glossy platinum highlights. Hair is shortened to the chin and blow-dried with a round brush to create a curved shape. A few flips of the flat iron helps to enhance texture by crafting a hint of curl and forming a sweeping side bang. Photo by Global Hair & Fashion Group.

Too-dark roots are in need of a color boost, making this the perfect time for the Hair Benders Design Team of Hair Benders International in Chattanooga, TN, to craft a brand-new hue! A gorgeous ginger haircolor looks amazing against a fair skin tone and the style is worthy of the runway. Crown layers are flat-ironed to show pointed edges and a dab of pomade helps to create a radiant rocker-chick style. Photo by Global Hair & Fashion Group.







I would have the old Farah Fawcett look. Long and layered. And I would be a natural bleached blonde.
I would love a makeover!! I feel like I’ve done the same hairstyle for the last 6 years just slight varriations to it. I need something new. I’m tired of side bangs and razored layers.
Hi Alyssa,
Check out each issue of Sophisticate’s for mane inspiration. Then, take the magazine to your hairstylist and show the tress pro some looks you like. Having a picture helps your hairstylist see exactly what you want. Here’s to a stylish 2012!
I would love a makeover!! I am really pale, with blue eyes and dirty blond hair with red high lights. Also I have straight long hair and it is about median thickness. I have really frizzy hair and I hate it!!! I would like something that highlights my eyes and high cheep bones but I don`t have bangs. My bangs are as long as the rest of my hair. I really need your help and advise!! I love to try new things and stand out! I am a teen so I don`t really know much, don’t have a lot of money, and I need to be able to pull my hair back into a pony tail. I have never died or highlighted my hair before either. I love your magazine and I`m ready for a makeover!!
Hi, Dana!
If you can’t get to the salon for a new cut or color, there are plenty of ways to give yourself a mane makeover! We think you’ll love the “At Home Styling Guide” featured in every issue of Sophisticate’s. The entire section is devoted to showing you how to style your hair at home! On the bangs, try doing a side part and swoop your hair across your forehead, creating a faux fringe, and secure your hair with a bobby pin just above the ear. You’ll have the illusion of bangs without actually cutting your hair!
I want a hair makeover!!!!! I have had the same hairstyle for 15 yrs.
Straight, long, bangs are alittle past my chin. I want something different. But I would like to keep my hair a little long, You know just enough to put it in a ponytail. Cause Im a stay at home mom/soccer mom. And I dont have a regular salon. Help Help. Any info would be great.
