-I'm a little worried.
My baby's not even gonna recognize me.
Hi. I'm Wendy, and I'm getting my hair cut
by Sally Hershberger today.
So, I'm really excited to be getting a haircut today.
I'm looking to go shorter, like a bob.
I totally trust Sally.
so, whatever her vision is will be great.
So, my hair and I have had an interesting journey.
I've always kind of played around with looks.
Either I want really, really long hair,
or I'll go shorter.
In more recent years, I've been a nurse,
so, I kind of needed my hair up in a ponytail.
When I was little, I had, like, a bowl cut.
But I think, with this haircut, it'll be easy to take care of.
My newborn's been pulling on my hair a lot,
and I know I'm going to maybe have some postpartum hair loss.
So, I'm just really excited to have a fresh new look.
Hi. My name is Sally Hershberger,
and this is my salon at Hudson Yards.
Today, with Wendy, I felt like giving her
something that goes with her hair texture.
Her hair is quite straight. She just had a baby.
Something she can do at home, but feels very contemporary.
Wendy, I hear you want a little bit of a change.
-I do.
-Are you ready for a lot of a change?
-Let's do it. -This is years of hair.
And it's beautiful.
But I think, like, bangs would look super chic on you.
And I think a current French bob, you know, just sexy.
And the maintenance is nothing.
Like, literally, you can just go.
-I love that.
-The more lived-in, the better.
So, after seeing Wendy's hair,
I figure I'm gonna probably take off about 12, 14 inches.
Whenever I'm going from really long to short,
I always just chop the hair off,
because why would you shampoo all of that, try to section it?
It's just cumbersome.
So, I just immediately get rid of that.
And it also alleviates the shock moment.
So, they kind of go, "Oh, okay, that looks cool."
And then, you have time to play, go a little shorter,
and maneuver it a bit more.
So, it started with the shampoo and conditioner.
Everything begins with that.
In my opinion, it's the most important thing
you're gonna do with your hair.
It sets the tone of how it's gonna style.
I use my 24K shampoo because I noticed her hair was a bit dry.
And it really, really cleans your scalp,
and that's crucial.
If your scalp isn't clean, the hair doesn't perform.
I always section the hair, because,
if you just have it all one length, hanging there,
it's very hard to see your sections.
And if you just cut it straight across,
the top's gonna be a little shorter than the bottom.
It's just too cumbersome, too much going on.
Section your hair.
I tapered first, with a razor,
because her hair is incredibly blunt,
so if you just go straight across,
it's gonna stick almost out.
So, you want to soften those edges,
and then create some layers on top.
But keeping the asymmetric, here.
I like when these, like, turn in,
and kind of come into the face.
And I gave her just a heavy bang.
You can't really cut into her hair too much in the front,
or it'll pop up.
You know, you have to keep it a little heavy, which I like.
Once I've got the basic line in there, I put in my mousse,
because that gives the hair guts and holding.
I use it on everybody, no matter what.
Mousse just creates that texture and hold that I love,
but yet, has movement.
And it's super lightweight.
So, I put that in, blew-dry her
with my hands, until the very end.
I just used a round brush, just to create, like,
that turn-in around the face, and on the bangs, as well.
And then, after that, I put in my supreme balm.
I love balm 'cause it gives it texture, volume, shine.
And then, I went back in, and dry-cut her hair.
I just cheated some layers, like, up on top, here,
just to get that little bit of volume in the crown,
so it just doesn't lay like a helmet.
It just moves any which way she flicks it.
She doesn't have to part it on the middle, or the side.
Whichever way, it's gonna flow and move.
Are you ready for the reveal?
-Yes. Let's look.
Wow. I feel light as a feather.
Ready to go to Paris.
-Voilà.

-I just feel really good.
It's been a tough year,
and my birthday's in a couple of weeks,
I just had a baby.
I am finally feeling a little bit of normal
after giving birth.
So, I feel really good.
So, I'm going home to my husband and my baby girl, now.
I don't even know if they're gonna recognize me.
It's gonna be funny.
I might even film the reaction.
I think my baby's going to pull my hair a little bit less now,
but she still likes to touch my face, so we'll see.
