The bob is a timeless favorite for a reason. This summer, we’re seeing chic variations that focus on texture, movement, and ease. Choose a blunt version for strong lines, or go with soft, layered ends for a more relaxed finish.
Why it works:
• Great for straight or fine hair
• Easy to maintain and style
• Versatile for both professional and casual looks
Our Ifergan Expert Tip: Pair your bob with curtain bangs or a soft undercut to customize your cut. Air dry with a texturizing spray for a lived-in, effortlessly tousled finish.
The modern shag is all about texture and individuality. With layered ends and face-framing movement, this cut adds volume without bulk and works beautifully with all hair types. We specialize in creating customized shag styles that suit your unique face shape and lifestyle. We take into account your hair’s natural texture so you walk out with a cut that looks great, even on the most humid of days.
Perfect for:
• Enhancing natural wave or curl
• Creating a soft, edgy silhouette
• Staying cool and stylish in humid weather
Our Ifergan Expert Tip: Pair your shag with a custom gloss to enhance shine and reduce frizz while maintaining an effortless look
Looking for something sophisticated yet playful? The blunt lob (long bob) is the perfect in-between cut for those who want structure with flexibility. Its clean lines and collarbone-grazing length create a bold yet feminine shape that flatters nearly every face. A blunt cut means stronger lines and less layering, which translates into a fuller, healthier look, especially important after winter’s wear and tear.
We love pairing the blunt lob with rich glossing treatments or subtle balayage highlights to enhance shine and dimension. It’s a great canvas for experimenting with color, think sun-kissed blondes, soft coppers, or golden brunettes.
Why clients love it:
• Full, healthy-looking ends
• Pairs well with subtle highlights
• Low-maintenance but high impact
Our Ifergan Expert Tip: Elevate your lob with a rich gloss treatment or soft balayage to add dimension and a touch of summer glow.
If you love the natural, sun-kissed look of summer, layers are your go-to. This cut enhances your hair’s movement and texture, while keeping things light and free-flowing.
At Charles Ifergan, we’re all about helping your natural beauty shine through. Our stylists use advanced cutting techniques to enhance your hair’s natural wave pattern, so you can spend more time outside and less time styling.
Why it works:
• Amplifies volume and natural wave
• Reduces weight for better shape
• Ideal for air-dried, no-fuss styles
Our Ifergan Expert Tip: We tailor layers to your hair texture, so you can simply spritz in sea salt spray and go.
Short, sweet, and full of personality, the pixie cut is making a strong comeback. This season’s version is all about softness and customization, with the option to add length in the fringe, asymmetrical edges, or playful undercut details.
Don’t be afraid to bring your personality to this look—our stylists can incorporate asymmetry, undercut details, or long fringe to tailor the style just for you. The best part? It’s a breeze to maintain in hot weather.
Great for:
• Beating the summer heat
• Low-maintenance styling
• Making a bold style statement
Our Ifergan Expert Tip: Keep your pixie looking polished with regular trims and lightweight styling creams that won’t weigh hair down.
