This Hairstylist Shows How A Good Haircut Transforms People And These 30 Pics Prove It
Jayne Matthews is a talented hairdresser with a knack for the retro styles of the 1960s and 1970s. Her transformative skills take clients on a journey from contemporary looks to vintage-inspired hippie vibes. A signature touch in Jayne's creations is the inclusion of bangs; they are a consistent feature in all her hairstyles.
For instance, one of her recent masterpieces showcases a woman with sleek, long black hair, accented by sharp and defined bangs. This look captures a timeless elegance, reminiscent of classic '60s fashion. In stark contrast, yet equally captivating, is another client with pink hair and a playful and edgy cut with wispy bangs, radiating '70s free spirit. These image examples not only spotlight Jayne's skillset but also her commitment to reviving the iconic aesthetics of past decades, with bangs taking center stage in every transformation.

I’d also guess that the ‘before’ is a lot more manageable, since short hairstyles tend to need washing daily and styling, or else they stick up in all sorts of weird and not so wonderful ways when you first get up. It’s the main reason why I’ve given up on having short hair, it just needed too much maintenance.

This aged her like 8 years. Not trying to be mean but the before was better. It worked for her face shape & the darker color brought out her eyes. They should have done a copper/red/orange color. That would have looked dope.

1. She already had bangs. 2. I think this stylist brings way too much hair from the back and combs it to the front, as if they were all bald. Just makes me think there's not enough hair left in the back, for every day wearing.

She's so pretty. But short styles like this don't always work for ppl with round faces. It usually makes them look childish & not in a "you're a young woman" way.. it also tends to make ppl with round faces look chubby. Even when they're not. That's just my opinion & what I've seen personally.

Some of the pictures are misleading. Is obvious that you're adding top hair pieces as well as using wigs. The models are beautiful and the styles are great. But if you have thin hair even with a nice haircut, you will still have thin hair.

So yeah, I noticed after numbers 8 and 9 everyone was getting bangs, and the truth it, they mostly looked better. Also many short hair cuts as well. Some could have stayed long but with layering to give lift and body to the cut bs long, straggly looks. Most all made the women, and one girl look better, accentuated the face, vs down played the beauty with no style per se. I have very long hair, mid back and I get it layered for wash n dry and go, or styling, curling very lions mane-ish, yes bangs. I always blow away clients, friends and strangers out in the world. A good cut can make or break one’s looks. We like looking at actresses and actors in their capture of their beautiful sides. We don’t want uncouffed (sp?) looks unless it fits the part.

Damn. They did her dirty with that baby bang. This stylist didn't take into account alot of these women's natural features when she gave them their cuts. You have to work with the face shape n their features to adapt the style to fit them n accentuate their natural beauty. If you have a longer forehead.. don't get baby bangs.. it makes your forehead look soooo much bigger, especially with a pixie cut. It also elongates the face n if you have a thinner face, it can make you look gaunt or older than you are.

I feel like this was one big snow job. Both the women who were told they'd have new and exciting cuts, and the readers of the article. Aside from the fancy makeup in the after pics, many of the after pics also made it seem like the new styles were fuller. But if you look at the photos more closely, you see that all that fullness is achieved by bringing hair from the back and arranging it on top of their heads and around their faces. That's great for a photo shoot I guess. Not for real life. All that fullness will disappear when they open the door and a breeze blows, and they are walking to the bus, etc.
