Beyond the relationship to the eyes, Salcedo says that a fringe can also serve as a physical representation of change that doesn't involve chopping off all your hair.

Another option, if your hair is long and you want a less drastic change, go for a mid-length chop. L.A. hairstylist Sal Salcedo says that the single-length cut is always sleek.

When you're trying to send a message with your hair, why not be blunt about it? Hairstylist Sal Salcedo tells us that these bob cuts are incredibly popular in L.A.

“..add a straight-across bang for a transformation that keeps the length at the ends, like this example by stylist Chris Hill”

Colorist Allison Varmette of L.A.'s trendy Nova Arts Salon tells us that the dimensional effect is supposed to look lived-in. "I like to shadow smudge the root a little so that when the hair grows it’s not a harsh line," she says.
