NEW AGE SHAG
Style is inevitable when creative minds converge.
That’ s exactly what transpired in last falls’ Eufora Global Connection in San Diego, CA. Mixed medium is all the rage so it’ s no surprise that a fresh approach to a classic cut delivered this runway ready Shag.
National Trainer, Connie Kecskes shares her step-by-step below for this classic turned contemporary Shag. And of course, our Color Development Manager couldn’ t resist dialing up the drama using Artisan Shades for a truly new age take on a ready to wear favorite.

Hair Color by JOANNE REMPEL Eufora Color Developement Manager
Section Hair
Section a diamond shape at the top of the head starting above the parietal ridge at the hairline to mid ear, then angled to occipital bone for drop crown.
2.
Cut Perimeter
Starting with the back section, gather hair and cut to desired perimeter length.
3.
Connect Sides
Connect perimeter length through sides( drop out front if necessary).
4.
Cut Top
Condense top section straight up at a 90 ° from the crown and cut a horizontal line at desired length.
5.
Blend Back
Create a one-inch vertical section in the center back from crown to nape. Using a razor, slide cut to blend top guide to perimeter. Continue with a traveling guide in one-inch sub sections from center back to the back of the ear. Repeat on other side.
6.
Blend Sides
Starting at crown above ear, blend sides with back using one-inch sub sections. Maintain a stationary guide, elevating slightly to maintain a solid perimeter.
