The ability to shape, style, and texturize short hair has revolutionized the finished look. From barbering to styling, short hair is more popular than ever as new techniques emerge each and every day. “With a strong sense of identity and expression of personal fashion, men's hair is becoming longer and more individualized based on natural texture. Creating imperfect perfection is now the focus from traditional male grooming to non-gendered hairstyles that break away from societal norms,” explains Teresa Romero, Creative Director for Sam Villa. 

Fall is the perfect time to refresh your look or try a new style, whether returning to school or the office. Although temps are still high in some areas, we’re so close to the perfect weather for boots, cashmere, tweed, and leather.  In addition to fall trends, we’re pulling inspiration from the iconic Brigitte Bardot this season. Sam Villa ArTeam Member, Ellen Devine @ellendevinehair, shares a look with the perfect balance of carefree natural texture combined with the polish of a Bardot-inspired bump to beat the heat while looking cool.

Adding fringe has been a significant trend in the past few seasons.

Fringe is the focal point of most cuts, especially Manda Ziegelman’s, Sam Villa Ambassador @mandaziegelman, signature alt-inspired works of art. Every fringe is customized with ‘hand’ styling for a lived-in, natural finish.
