W hen I was reviewing the fall/winter runways for the biggest beauty trends, I came to an interesting conclusion—literally every type of hairstyle hit the catwalk at some point this season, from bowl cuts (seen on models such as Catherine McNeil, who got her hair chopped by Redken's Guido) to braids (seen at the Valentino presentation). I never cease to be amazed by the talented hairdressers behind these coif creations. They have a seemingly endless ability to take what is old, like the crimped tresses that were so popular a few decades ago, and reinvent them in a fresh way that's just as suitable for the high-fashion models seen at New York Fashion Week as they are for your everyday clients. Of course, this type of ingenuity extends to more than just catwalk coiffeurs. You are constantly responsible for retooling your client's preferred look in a way that's new, yet still caters to her established style tendencies; whether it's just slightly elongating her tight curls into looser ringlets for a more relaxed feel, or articulating to her that snipping just a few inches would turn the lob she's sported for the past year into an au courant bob. The potential you have to transform is endless. My hat is off to you! And if you're seeking runway hair inspo to integrate into your everyday styling, look no further than our biggest runway trends story ever (10 pages!). Flip to page 84 to see the top beauty looks.
