It pairs well with subtle color treatments like balayage or lowlights.
Medium Cut with Curtain Bangs
A shoulder-length cut paired with curtain bangs parted in the middle.
The bangs frame both sides of the face, adding softness around the cheekbones.
Style the bangs with a round brush blown away from the face. The rest of the cut stays a standard medium length with light layering.
Curtain bangs grow out gracefully without harsh lines, which means longer stretches between salon visits. The combination suits most face shapes.
Medium Wolf Cut
A modern shag with heavy face-framing layers and a defined crown shape.
The wolf cut sits between a shag and a mullet, with pronounced layering that creates volume on top.
This works on women who want a bold medium cut rather than a soft one. Use texture spray throughout and finger-style for definition.
The cut suits straight, wavy, and slightly curly textures. It grows out into a softer shape over several months.
Medium Layered Cut with Curtain Bangs
The combination of medium length, soft layers, and curtain bangs framing the face.
The layers add movement, the bangs soften the front, and the medium length covers the neck.
Style with a round brush for a polished finish or air-dry for a relaxed one. This combination suits most face shapes and grows out gracefully.
It also requires less daily styling than shorter cuts, which suits women with busy schedules.
Shoulder-Length Blunt Cut
A medium cut with a sharp, unlayered perimeter at the shoulders.
The blunt line creates the illusion of thickness, helping fine hair look denser. Ask for the perimeter to stay sharp rather than tapered.
Style with a round brush or flat iron for the sharpest finish. The cut grows out cleanly without obvious shape changes.
It works on straight and slightly wavy textures where the line falls cleanly against the shoulders.
Medium Cut with Soft Side Bangs
A shoulder-length cut paired with soft bangs sweeping gently across the forehead.
Different from full bangs, side bangs blend into the rest of the cut as they grow.
This style suits women who want bangs without the daily maintenance of a straight fringe. Ask for the bangs to start at the brow and sweep past the cheekbone.
The cut underneath stays a standard medium length with light layering for movement.
Medium Curly Cut
A medium-length cut for curly hair, with the length working with your natural texture.
The cut should happen dry, curl by curl, so the stylist can see how each piece falls.
Apply a curl cream or custard on damp hair and let it air-dry or diffuse on low heat. This style suits women embracing their natural texture, which many do after 50.
The medium length gives curls room to form fully without being weighed down by too much hair.
Medium Cut with Balayage
A medium-length cut featuring hand-painted highlights through the lengths and ends.
Balayage grows out softly without obvious roots, which means longer stretches between color appointments.
This works especially well after 50, when many women want lower-maintenance color. Stick to tones within two shades of your base for a natural finish.
The cut underneath stays a standard layered medium cut, with the color carrying the visual interest.
Medium Cut with Money-Piece Highlights
Lighter sections frame the face on a medium-length cut, brighter than the base color.
The money piece adds dimension around the cheekbones and softens facial features.
The rest of the cut stays a standard medium length with light layering. The money piece grows out without harsh lines, extending time between salon visits.
Pair with a deeper base color for stronger contrast, or keep tones close together for a subtler shift.
Silver Medium Cut
A medium-length cut on naturally silver or gray hair.
