At Stil i Lund every women's haircut is done with scissors and tailored to your hair and face shape, whether your hair is short, medium or long. Consultation, shampoo and styling are always included, and the visit takes between 60 and 90 minutes depending on length.
It starts with a conversation
Before I cut, I want to understand three things: how your hair behaves, how you live with it and what you want it to do for you. I look at how your hair falls, its cowlicks and density, and at your features.
A haircut should work on an ordinary Tuesday, not just when you walk out of here. That's why I always ask how much time you spend on your hair in the morning.
Short hair
In short hair every millimetre shows. It's about precision, and about the shape following the shape of your head and your face. A short cut takes around 60 minutes.
Short hair needs cutting more often to keep its shape. Many of my clients with short hair come roughly every six to seven weeks.
Medium-length hair
Medium-length hair – hair that doesn't reach the shoulders – is the length where the cut does the most for the overall look. I cut first on wet hair after the shampoo, then go over the shape again on dry hair after blow-drying, when I can see how it really falls.
Allow around 75 minutes.
Long hair
Long hair should feel healthy and have movement. Here I work with the condition of the lengths, with layers where they're needed and with the pieces around the face. I cut freshly washed hair and start from how your hair is doing.
A cut for long hair takes around 90 minutes. You don't have to take off more than you want – but I'll always tell you what I see.
Layers, lines and fringes
A haircut comes down to a few decisions. Where should the weight sit? Should the line be sharp or soft? Should the hair frame your face or be kept off it?
Layers add movement and remove weight, but too many layers in fine hair make it look thinner. A blunt line adds fullness, but can look harsh against the face if it isn't softened.
A fringe changes your whole expression and is the quickest way to refresh a style. On the other hand, it needs a little upkeep. We can try how it would fall before I cut.
Choosing a length
The question I'm asked most often is whether someone can carry short hair. My answer is that it's less about face shape and more about the quality of your hair and how you want to live with it.
Short hair is quick to style but needs cutting more often. Long hair copes well with regrowth but takes time to wash and dry. Medium length sits in between, and for many it's the length that gives the most freedom.
Bring a picture
A picture is the best thing you can bring. It doesn't have to be a style you want to copy – it shows the feel you're after. Then we talk about what works in your hair, and what would need adjusting to suit you.
Between visits
If you have a fringe, you can book a fringe trim between your regular visits. And if you'd like to get more out of your cut at home, I'm happy to show you how to blow-dry and style it – using products from the Oribe range that suit your hair.
