    Hi Raquel, being overweight or having wavy hair doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t go short. It depends on your face shape and bone structure. What face shape do you have? Is your hair thick, fine or normal?

    I lovee the haircut! But since my hair is wavy and I’m overweight my mom won’t let me cut my hair short :/ do you think this should make it impossible for my hair to be short?

    The model looked absolutely flawless after the makeover. Great video! The makeup artist was AWESOME.

    Your welcome Lucy, facebook is the only way I’m afraid, unless you can ask one of your friends to upload it for you from their Facebook account!

  8. Thank you so muh! I would love if you could do that for me but I really dont have a facebook account… Is there any other way to send you a photo?
    Once again, thank you very much!
    Lucy

    Hi, thank you! Although oval shape faces are easy to work with, depending on how long your face is, your limited on how short you can go. If you go to short it can tend to make your face appear longer, the same can happen if it’s too long. If you go to a reputable hairdresser they should be able to gage the exact length. It may mean that although you can have a similar cut to Frankie, you may be guided to go for a slightly longer version!
    If i saw your pic could tell you straight away!

  12. The final look is absolutely stunning! She looks so much better with the new haircut!
    I have long hair and sometimes I feel like I should cut it short… but I’m so scared that it wont look good on me… I wish I had someone like you to cut my hair, someone that can see exactly what kind of haircut will look good on me!

  13. cleigho7760 says

    wow beautiful work! i’m not sure weather or not to have my hair cut back short similar to frankies from the saturdays. I have an oval shape face and ive tried to grow my hair out, its down to my shoulders now but it isnt really doing anything for my face shape, would you recomend going short for an oval shape face?

  14. CaaraGeekZone says

    Hi Stuart!
    I’ve been wanting shorter hair for quite a long time now, but I’m not sure if it would suit me or not. I think (not sure) I have a long face shape. I also have thin hair and they always mention it when I go to get my hair cut. What lenght and type of haircut would you recommend?
    Thank you! ^^

  15. Stuart Phillips says

    Your welcome Sophie, as you mention that you have quite a round face, I would recommend that you keep the style slightly longer, around 2-3 cm longer, this way it will stop the cut giving the illusion that it’s more round.
    The cut can still be the same shape, even though it’s a few cm longer.
    Once it’s been cut and if you then decide to go shorter, your stylist can take it down a little more. This is the safer approach!
    Hope that helped and good luck with your new style!

  16. sophie francis says

    hi, thanks for replying. I would say that i have quite a rounded face shape. I was looking at a style like this or like Frankie from ‘The Saturdays’ but anything around this length as i need to get rid of most of the damaged hair 🙂

  17. Stuart Phillips says

    Hi Sophie, ideally you either need an oval, square or slightly round face shape. Your face doesn’t have to be thin though!
    What face shape do you have and I can guide you a little more? Each face shape means that the hairstylist would need to adapt a little more, then it would be tailor made for that persons face!
    Stuart

  18. sophie francis says

    do you need to have a thin face shape for this type of style? My hair is so damaged so i need to get it cut short and start fresh 🙁

  19. Stuart Phillips says

    Thank you 🙂

  20. JadedBurnout says

    Wow! She looks so high fashion, and very put together! Beautiful work 🙂

  21. Stuart Phillips says

    Hi, pleased you like it, The maintenance is very quick and easy, after you’ve washed your hair, towel dry, then literally blast your hair till it’s dry. If you have a few waves that you want to straighten, then use a round brush (once the hair is almost dry).
    Then finish with a hair moulding product, Your looking around 5 minutes, dependent on how many waves you need to straighten. If your hair is very wavy/curly, then will take up to 15 minutes!
    Stuart

  22. This cut/colour is absolutely gorgeous! One of favourite from your salon.
    I’d love a cut almost exact to this, alas I live in Canada!
    I wonder though if the maintenance is any easier for this than having my long hair…

  23. alright, i’ll send you the pictures. thank you very much 🙂 xx.

    Hi Nicatsa, for the consultation I would need you to send me 2 photos on facebook, 1 profile and 1 front! I will give you my advice and write the answer under this message. My professional facebook link is on my YouTube channel page!

  25. Hello Stuart, i was wondering if this particular hairstyle and color would suit curly/wavy hair and if it goes well with any face shape or needs to be a slim face. hope you can answer me soon . thank you.

  26. Amazing, like what I’m saying, Ι had really long hair, almost down to my waist and I got sick and tired of it and cut it like this. Most people like it but some tell me ‘why did you do that to your hair, you look like a boy’ but I don’t agree, the point isn’t to have a bunch of long hair hanging out of my head, but for the hair to be stylish and show your face. I have a normal face,big eyes,cheekbones and a small nose so it’s not a problem for me to show it. Life is short, cut your hair, girls!

  27. Humi Eddington says

    JUST AMAZING. I WISH I WERE THERE TO HAVE THAT KIND OF HAIR CUT. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

  28. Stuart Phillips says

    Hi, sure if you send me a clear photo of you from the front and upload it on my professional facebook page (your find the link on my youTube channel, on the right) then I will write the consultation under this message!

  31. oOoMissTammyoOo says

    I absolutely love it, amazing work, great looking model.. Very very sassy n fresh!

  32. Nadja VisionStyle Brotschi says

    Hi Stuart

    yes you are right! It’s the same for me as being MakeUp artist with the prof and non-/semi-profs 🙂
    So sad you do not work in Switzerland – I’d made an appointment asap! 🙂

    Nadja

  33. Stuart Phillips says

    Thank you, pleased you like it 🙂 You are right though, funny thing is the non professionals are too nervous too in front of camera and the professionals are trained not too!
    Stuart

  34. Nadja VisionStyle Brotschi says

    Very well done! I love her new style – as well great make-up job btw! only negative thing: the model does never smile… indeed she’s very beautyful. 🙂

  35. Stuart Phillips says

    Haha, well I cut it shorter as she needed a re-style and I’m a very fast cutter, so I understand where your coming from but she absolutely loves her new style and now she gets more modelling jobs than ever!
    Stuart

    Hi Stuart, well my hair used to be thick curly and down to my bum! I cut it to my shoulders about 7 months ago, now I have it in a very short bob/ outgrown pixie look, I also have a round face, pale skin with a slight glow, I bleached it so its damaged and wont curl my hairdresser had to put an ash brown over the luminous orange (wont be bleaching ever again) , should I let it grow and go for something new or go for a pixie? I’ve just dyed it a blue black and also like the alternative/rock look

  40. simone13142 says

    she looks very very good,the colour is perfect,10 years younger lady !!

  41. Ichi Cryptorchid says

    Really thanks this helped me a lot! <3

  42. Stuart Phillips says

    this tends to open up your face, making it appear slightly bigger (which is more flattering to you). I also like the way you’ve styled your hair when it was purple, as you’ve taken your hair back, showing more of your face! One more thing, make sure that you don’t grow your hair much longer, as this will tend to make your face appear smaller!
    Stuart

  43. Stuart Phillips says

    Hi Itziar, the different looks that you’ve had are interesting! I think the best look that you’ve had is your latest black hair! It’s quite extreme against your pale skin but somehow you seem to get away with it! Your face apart from being round is also quite small, so I would want to show as much as your face as possible, for this reason I would keep your bangs fairly long and swept across, similar to what you have
    (continued)

  44. Ichi Cryptorchid says

    Hi! I change my hair a lot, I had it pale blonde, pink, black.. but the cut it’s always the same, I only change my fringe and I want to know what will look amazing like ¡BANG! on my face.
    I have a round face, Im pale like the snow and I really love the rock/alternative extreme looks but I want to leave my hair long… so please if u can help me that will made my day!

  45. Ichi Cryptorchid says

    The hair color its… GOD!

  46. Jessa Urban says

    Thank you very much for responding! 🙂 

  47. patrycoso says

    Wow, so nice !!!

  48. Stuart Phillips says

    Hi Jessy, please you like it.
    This style would suit your texture, although it may prove time consuming to blow-dry, you would also need to keep the layers fractionally longer, this would make it easier to dry!
    Another important factor, if you decide to go ahead, your stylist must first blow-dry your hair to a straight/wavy finish and then re-style your hair dry, this will give a more accurate cut!
    Stuart

  49. Jessa Urban says

    Hi, I really like this hairstyle and I was wondering if it would look good on me. I have naturally thick curly hair but I straighten it every week, so I’m just wondering if this hairstyle would fit my hair texture?

  50. Hluvsmusicluvshannah says

    I love how the hair cut makes her look sooooo much younger
