A MODERN SHAG WITH CURTAIN BANGS IS THE WAY TO GO!

One of the hottest trends in women's hairstyles today is a MODERN SHAG WITH CURTAIN BANGS, for a fun, flirty look that is effortless to maintain and looks good with any type of hair. It's edgy without being extreme, stylish without feeling overdone, and - best of all - flattering on just about everyone. Whether you're craving volume, shape, movement, or just a fresh new vibe, this cut is quickly becoming THE signature look.


A shag offers soft blended layers, a light airy texture with natural movement and effortless styling. This creates a fluid silhouette that works beautifully with natural hair texture-straight, wavy or curly.


Adding Curtain Bangs is the perfect match to the Modern Shag! Curtain bangs are long, swooping, and parted down the center (or slightly off-center) bangs that create instant face-framing magic. They pair perfectly with a shag because they blend seamlessly into the layers, they soften the overall shape, add volume around the cheekbones and grow out beautifully.


The Modern Shag is customizable and works well for all hair types: If you have fine hair; added layers boost volume and movement, thick hair; layering removes weight and enhances shape, wavy or curly texture; the cut enhances natural patterns and reduces bulk. Whether your face shape is oval, round or heart-shaped,

curtain bangs provide gorgeous balance and highlight to your features.


Best of all-STYLING IS EASY!

And who doesn't love easy to style?

One of the biggest reasons this trend is taking off is because it practically styles itself.


Here's a few quick tips:

  • Use a lightweight texturizing spray for that soft, tousled finish.
  • Air dry or diffuse to enhance your natural texture.
  • For extra definition, twist a few face-framing pieces around a curling wand.


The goal is perfectly imperfect, not overly polished.


This cut gives your hair personality-and who couldn't use a little more of that?

Finish with a touch of styling cream to tame flyaways while keeping

the lived-in-feel.

Where It All Began

By Michael Morgan • April 1, 2019
Where it Started How does a hippie child, not caring about hair, never liked getting my hair cut and certainly never touching another person’s hair become a hairstylist? In my early twenties, I was a full-time bill collector in corporate America but desperately wanted to be self-employed. In 1991 I became a massage therapist in hopes of achieving that dream. After years of doing massage part time and being stuck in my corporate job, I began to do chair massage in hair salons. Very quickly I came to realize I liked the fun, high energy environment of salons and how stylists could be independent contractors and were doing well for themselves. I thought, “maybe there was something to this and perhaps I could finally achieve my dream.” In 1994, I finally got to a point where I could quit my corporate job and go to cosmetology school. I worked 3 part time jobs and successfully completed hair school and shortly there after took my state board exam and became licensed hair dresser in a prominent hair salon in Uptown Dallas. I knew I had arrived, while scared to death from a lack of experience, I gained a love for the art of doing hair very quickly. I felt blessed and lucky to have landed a job as an assistant in such an amazing salon with some of the best hairstylists in Dallas! After my tenure as an assistant and then a hairstylist, I gained the skill and confidence to venture out on my own as an independent contractor. I continued my education, taking intensive classes with Vidal Sassoon Academies from Los Angeles to Miami to London, gaining the greatest skills and education I could achieve. After much training and experience, working in salons and doing projects such as fashion shows and photo shoots, I found a love for doing hair in film and television. Working on independent films, music videos and television. I got an opportunity to work on the set of “Walker, Texas Ranger”. After a number of years exploring a career in film and television, I realized my greatest love was building a business and relationships with my clients in a salon. There I could get to know the people that I had the pleasure of making beautiful on a day to day basis. To this day, my love for getting to know and have a relationship with people remains my greatest passion. I now have a clientele that includes some of my original patrons from 24 years ago and now their children and extended family. After all these years, I am still proud to say I love what I do and could not imagine doing anything else! My passion remains making people beautiful day after day. Learning and growing in my field as I go. I’m also committed to giving back to my community, I do volunteer work with cancer patients as well as other charity work. It is the greatest gift to give back to others when I have been given so much in my career. Now I can happily say, this self-proclaimed “Hippie Child” has a great passion for my career as a hairstylist!
