To me, hair means feeling confident, feeling beautiful.
When my hair is done and I look my best,
I feel my best.
Hi, I'm Caroline,
and today I'm getting fringe bangs.
But before you see my transformation, subscribe below.
I want to get fringe bangs today because I've
always had the same exact haircut my entire life.
I've always really experimented with different hair colors,
but this is basically what my hair has always looked like.
I specifically want to get kind of fringe, curtain bangs.
The inspiration for this look are some of my
biggest style icons, Dakota Johnson and
Alexa Chung.
They've been rocking fringe bangs for so long now.
I'm definitely not worried
about the bangs getting into my face.
However, I am worried about the maintenance of bangs
and having to style them every day.
It's definitely something that I'm not used to, especially in quarantine.
So it will definitely be a bit of a challenge at first.
Hi, I'm Daniel, and I'm a cut specialist at
Salon Kazumi in Beverly Hills, California.
Hi, I'm Daniel.
Hi, I'm Caroline.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
We're gonna do bangs on you today?
Yes.
The ideal candidate for bangs would differ
on the type of bangs that you would want.
If you want more of a fringy, curtain bangs,
that actually goes with any type of face shape.
But if you want more of a solid fringe,
like straight across,
I would say if you have more
of a longer face, that's more suitable for you.
It's super important for me to make sure
that my clients feel safe in the salon.
We follow guidelines,
so we make sure that not only are we safe,
but you are as well.
We're gonna go for something
more French-inspired, kind of more wispy.
Totally.
Yeah.
Cool! I'm excited.
Let's get started.
I am definitely anxious to see how they look like,
since I've always had the same exact haircut.
It's an idea that I've always toyed with.
But today's finally the day.
So I'm first going to establish
how far back your fringe goes.
So I'm first gonna
do the initial chop
a little longer than what we want.
It's better to work slowly up, so
I'm only going to cut a little at a time.
So from there, I want to layer just a tiny bit,
so it gives a little bit of that movement.
Just right in between the nose is
where I'm gonna take it a little bit shorter.
I think that's so cute.
And then we'll style it.
Awesome!
Ready?
Yep.
There you go!
Oh my god.
I love it.
Wow.
Overall, I really love the bangs.
I can't believe that they are actually on my head right now.
It definitely felt really weird
to feel the hair over my eyes,
especially when he was cutting them
and then once they were actually complete
and it stayed that way.
I'm still getting a little used to it.
But I know after some time that feeling will
become normal.
I definitely felt really safe during the entire experience.
Both Daniel and I were wearing our masks,
everything was sanitized,
and we definitely took extra precautions.
Working with Caroline today was amazing.
I know she had some hesitation and some fears
in the beginning.
But I knew that she trusted me and I trusted her,
and the outcome was amazing.
Having a different look than I've ever had before is really exciting.
I can't wait to show all my friends and family,
but it's also going to be
a bit of a learning process.
Even just looking into the mirror and seeing myself
with bangs is so surreal right now.
