SHIMMER DOWN NOW: CLOSEUP-READY OMBRE BY ALBANA ZEQOLLI + CUT/STYLE BY KARA HURSTON

Sometimes modern style is “difficult” to digest, but this vibrant, voluminous color, cut and style are equal parts eye-catching and universally flattering. For owner Sandy Poirier’s latest photos, top SHAG colorist Albana Zeqolli brought out our model Emili’s eyes with beautifully blended but amped up highlights, and cut stylist Kara Hurston added shapely layers for bounce. We dare you to stay in with this hair! Makeup by Liz Grace.

PRINTS CHARMING: STYLIST KARA HURSTON ACHIEVES RAPUNZEL STATUS WITH HER XTRA-LONG BRAID!

We love drama! …But only when it comes to hair, of course. Kara Hurston, very active member of our SHAG Editorial Team (and busy stylist) added tons of extensions to model Melissa’s shoulder-length brown hair. This look can absolutely be adapted for the “real world”- whatever THAT is- by just keeping it a BIT shorter, as not to find treasures hanging from your braid at the end of the day/night! Special thanks to Riccardi for unbelievable wardrobe (credits below).

(LOOK 1) Metallic-striped Sweatshirt by TOGA Archive, $675 at Riccardi. Skirt, stylist’s own. (LOOK 2) Sublimation print t-shirt by Mary Katrantzou, $460 at Riccardi. (LOOK 3) Leather vest by Thomas Wylde, $2,395; Sublimation print t-shirt by Mary Katrantzou, $460; Metallic printed stretch jeans by Goldsign, $320; all at Riccardi.
