My visit to a coastal salon made me switch up cut techniques
I used to stick with blunt cuts for most clients, thinking they gave a clean look. During a beach vacation, I popped into a small salon known for textured styles. The stylist there showed me how layers work with salt air and wind. She explained that blunt ends can look heavy and flat in humid, breezy spots. I tried her method on my own hair and loved the movement it had. Back at my shop, I started offering more layered cuts for clients near the water. It has really helped their hair look better between visits. Have you found local weather changes how you cut hair?

But does the weather honestly matter that much for a haircut? I get that salt air might change how hair sits, but are we overthinking this? People move around all day between AC and outside, so how can one cut work for all of that? It just seems like making a simple thing way more complex than it needs to be.

Ngl, this overthinking happens with everything now.

Hold up, did you just say salt air? Where do you live that's a daily problem, the beach? That's a whole different world from my dry, windy city. Humidity and salt absolutely wreck some hair types, it's not overthinking if your hair literally turns into a frizz ball or goes flat the second you step outside. A good stylist knows to ask about your daily climate because it changes how they cut and layer it. It's not about one perfect cut for all weather, it's about a cut that works best for your most common weather.
