5 Most Popular Celebrity Hairstyles

It's very important for a hairdresser and his or her client to have clear communication.  In a consultation, it's easy for misunderstandings to develop during the dialogue.  That’s probably the number one reason people go home while unhappy with their hair! One way to ensure you and your stylist are on the same page is to use a celebrity picture as a reference. Here are the most in-demand cuts right now.

Jennifer Aniston Hairstyle

Jennifer Aniston’s fresh, mid-length haircut. It’s a lob, also known as a long bob, that’s slightly longer in the front and has almost no layers. This would normally be a very heavy, blunt style, but her haircut has jagged edges that leave the style softened and balanced.

Someone shows me a picture of Kim Kardashian’s beautiful long locks during a consult at least once a day!  She has long, well-defined layers that are always set in a clean wave made by using a large curling iron.  Also, her hair is perpetually rich in color and very glossy!

When people want short hair, they tell me Emma Watson. Her short crop haircut is clean, style—changing, and sophisticated. You have to be ready to commit to such a style before wearing it.  On the plus side, you won’t need to use a round brush for a long, long time.

Clients that want to look like the girl-next-door love Kate Middleton’s understated, yet regal long layers. Those layers are very soft, being almost thinned on the ends, and not well defined. A nice blowout is all you need for this classic style. No curling irons or waves necessary.

Olivia Wilde Hairstyle

If you want chic, straight bangs, look no further than Olivia Wilde. It’s no wonder my clients reference her all the time: She’s been in everything, from House to The Next Three Days, as well as Tron: LegacyThe Change-UpCowboys and Aliens, and In Time. Her bangs are very blunt and straight across, yet they’re not too wide for her facial shape. Also, her bangs are long enough to be in her eyes, but they stay out of her vision because they wave upwards a little.
