Hair Makeovers
Searching for the hottest hair trends this summer? Take a peek inside your August 2012 issue of Sophisticate’s Hairstyle Guide and find your signature style! We’re featuring some of the most sizzlin’ shades and trendiest haircuts, and we know you’ll be inspired to try a new look in a hot, hot second. Have a look…
Texture Play
Blunt lines are snipped around the face using shears, while a blend of cool and warm tones create a modern mane shade with hints of gold and icy blonde.
Bangin’ Silhouette
A brow-brushing fringe frames the face beautifully for an element of seduction. And the haircolor? It’s a natural shade of deep brown that looks extra delicious against a creamy complexion.
Polished Profile
A rich brown tress hue and a touch of lightner create a multi-tonal haircolor for a sexy stylista like you. Update your profile and play up the texture with razored edges.









I started out your hairstyling magazine when I was 23 years old. I love all of my pictures. My fave magazine is Sophisticate,s Hairstyle Guide. My favorite is At-Home styling section. So keep it up and hope to see you again someday.
Thanks for your support, Alicia! We love readers like you, and we do our best to maintain our top spot as the #1 best-selling hair magazine in the world!
Simply more issue about short hair… bob’s pixies, crops and wedges. We love the wash and wear, ultimately wearable looks this season. More long to short transformations and how short hair is back big time! Sorry to all you long hair lovin’ guys, it’s true! Short hair is liberating.
Hi, Ginger!
We like to showcase a variety of lengths in Sophisticate’s so that everyone can find style inspiration in our magazine, but keep an eye out for future issues of Sophisticate’s, as we often feature an entire bonus mini-magazine featuring short haircuts!
[...] Mini-Magazine | Sophisticate’s Hairstyle GuideIf you could make your own mini-magazine, what would it be about? Tell us now! … I just recently started reading this magazine. I love it! I often don’t know what to do with my hair. It’s long, black, and thick. I really want to change up my bangs now. They are really bugging me. I want to do something with side bangs. [...]
Thanks for the shout-out!
I love your magazine. But, when I take the magazine showing a cut I want my stylist to do. I would like to see a side view, and a back view. Most of the mags out there do not have a side view, and a back view of a cut. My stylist sometimes will have to guess if it is cut short or razor or ect? This is a suggestion. It is the BEST MAGAZINE out there for hairstyles and tips. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Stacy Jean. We try and show sideviews when space permits…will keep your comments in mind always. Feedback like this, just makes us better.
Please keep the updates current and its not all about Hollywood. This season it’s more about crops and pixies and the shortest of the short and sexy haircuts in Spring summer 2011! Pleeeease we want more of those fabulous long hair to short hair makeovers
Michelle:
Did you purchase the issue? Reason I’m asking is that we offer some Classic Cuts (clearly marked) that are always popular and are timeless.
There are lots of style ideas in our publication for all hair lengths; thank you for your thoughts.
Always great to hear and please know, that we keep these in mind when putting our publication together.
How personal conflicts, affect your image, when the past becomes part of your present life.
Hi, Zoraida!
Time for an image update? How about a new hairstyle!
Conflicts disables a person to continue fighting to conquoer their goals, its a matter of healing the past and deciding to go on in life.
It would be all about red heads showing all differnt red hair colors

Hi, Jessica!
A great way to find a style that suits your face shape is to take a look at celebrities that have the same face shape as yours! Lucky for you, Sophisticate’s Hairstyle Guide’s 32nd Anniversary Issue (with Katy Perry on the cover!) is packed with photos of gorgeous singers, actresses and more! Pick up a copy and you’ll find tons of beautiful hair looks.
Hi. I just recently started reading this magazine. I love it! I often don’t know what to do with my hair. It’s long, black, and thick. I really want to change up my bangs now. They are really bugging me. I want to do something with side bangs. I have a round face, and small eyes, so I want something that will make my eyes look a little bigger, and look really cute. Help please?
Hi, Hannah!
We love new readers! Welcome! To draw attention to your beautiful eyes, try out some fringe that stops just above your eyebrows or opt for face-framing layers. The key is to make sure the bangs don’t create a veil over your sexy stare. If you want to open up your eyes and make them appear wider, check out Sophisticate’s Hairstyle Guide for great makeup tips!
Great styles that work on all types of hair. My hair below shoulders but very fine. Also I would include more “How to’s”
such as how to apply/remove hair extensions and more detailed
styling tips.
Hi, Cassie!
Thanks for the suggestions! You should definitely check out our At Home Styling Guide at the back of each issue of Sophisticate’s Hairstyle Guide. We get the styling information directly from tress pros that create the looks. We try very hard to get you the best information possible!
I’m over 50 and plus size. Would like to see some softer styles with layers and movement flattering to someone my age.
Hi, Stephanie!
Thanks for the suggestion. We try our best to provide a variety of looks in our Clip & Snip section of the magazine. This way, it’s easy for you to choose a style you like, clip it out and bring it to the salon. We work hard to feature the styles you like!
NEW and distinctively unique haircuts and styles for us women who took the plunge and cut our long thick hair and now cannot find a style to suit. I would like to see more mid-length styles with choppy styles.
Tessa:
Nice to hear from you! We’ll keep this in mind while working on our next issue…
I have been seeing A LOT of short styles that are on the conservative side as well as a few of them look like the same from the previous issues.
I have been keeping my eye out through several magazines and issues for a little while now since I have decided to cut my long hair off and go for something short and edgy.
I’m 32 and young at heart. I know one day my looks will catch up to my age, but I’m not trying to speed the process up. I have 2 daughters, 13 and 10, and a super sexy husband that I intend to keep myself up for. Since 40′s are the new 30′s and 30′s are the new 20′s, I would love to see more styles that reflect that. I would also love to see more short styles for women with full faces. I am an average sized woman and most of us are average and voluptuous and curvy. It’s hard to imagine certain styles on someone that isn’t a size 2.
Help the soccer moms step up their hair game, please!!! Thanks :O)
Niika:
Thank you for your letter. I will make certain (as we always try to do) to include for everyone, including our soccer mom readers.
Again, thank you and we will work harder!
It would be hairstyles suitable for women over 40.
Kimberly:
Thank you for your comment! We always include styles for women of all ages in Sophisticate’s. After all, 40s are the new 30s
Kellie Pickler rocks! She was voted Country Weekly’s most beautiful woman twice, world’s sexiest vegetarian, and now a Sophisticate’s Hairstyle Guide Style Icon! Yeah!
Chris…
Kellie does rock. We even like her new auburn color! What a great person too….
it would be full of pretty NOT WEIRD stuff but like the best hair cuts of the year
Thanks Kaylyn!
We always keep our makeovers wearable!
