Fashion Fashionista: Long locks are in for men

A new year, new semester, and a new you! Just when things start to get predictable, mix it up a little. If you're long and golden, go for something short and racy.

Variety is the spice of life, and now is a great time to spice things up.

The latest trends that can be viewed in cutting edge hair galas and educational seminars around the globe, from Vegas, to Milan, to our back yard in Toronto, have all focused their efforts on contrasting colour and cuts. Clean lines merge with wispy layers and chunks of colour to create a walking piece of art. The latest from Vidal Sassoon's creative team combines angelic imagery and flowing length, with dramatic bangs and colour. The look is modern yet classic with room for moderation and growth.


The latest trend for men is to keep the length and tame the colour. Natural looking colour (whether it is real or faux) is the trend for men this year, while keeping a lot of length. David Beckham wore it well, and many were soon to follow. Gentleman, look for long locks this year, or even better, be the man that gets noticed for them.

If you're looking for a change but you just don't know where to go, consider the many talented options London has to offer.

Your hairstylist is obviously someone you trust and look up to, that's why you let him/her near you with scissors. If you're ready to take that plunge and go dramatic, with your look and/or the mastermind who creates the look, the best stylist in town (and also acclaimed the best in North America by NAHA) is none other then London's own Heather Wenman. Honored by the beauty industry, Wenman stays on the leading edge of her field, along with many others who strive for excellence. The pursuit of higher education and constant evolution is key, whether you are the stylist or the muse in their chair.

Change is good, and in some cases seriously needed. To freshen up your mood, your grades and even your love life try something new with your look; and with any luck the cute boy down the hall might even take notice.
