What is a flattering hair length for women over 40?

So many of my clients have posed the question “What is a flattering hair length for women over 40?” My answer is that it is relative to the individual’s face shape, body proportions and individual style. Really, the same rules apply at any age, the difference being that what worked at 30 may or may not work at 50 or 60, depending on how much these things have changed.

As we age, the evidence of gravity becomes apparent, and the desire for a visual “lift” of some kind presents itself. This can be achieved many ways, one of which begins with a visit to a skin spa for maintenance to obtain a lift of the facial features, by introducing a new work out regimen and healthy diet, or with a trip to the salon to change the way the hair frames the face to also create a more youthful look. Each choice presents a canvas on which the stylist can design the best possible look for the individual. Bottom line… know that what you have to work with is beautiful at every age and enlist the pros to take care of the details.
