Men - Tousled Undercut
The tousled undercut is hands down the perfect look for the summer. This versatile style is accompanied by exaggerated tight sides and roughened top which can be worn down for the office or lifted and exposed for a night out. To achieve this look, a high hold and low shine paste will bring this style to its fullest potential.

Women - A-Line Bob
This modest A-line bob is the hottest hairstyle for ladies this summer. With length just slightly above or on the collarbone and subtle texture only around the edge, this worn-in look is styled with soft waves created by using the curling iron and finished with a mild shake with the fingers. Minimal styling product should be used for this particular style. A light finishing spray is all that is needed. Worn by many celebrities including Jennifer Aniston, this cut is sure to turn heads and be a hit.

Men - Beachy Look
This beachy look exemplifies the sunny, laid-back vibe that is inherent in Orange County. The messy, yet styled cut is great for a day at the beach catching waves or a night out with friends. You can achieve this look by utilizing the hair's organic wavy texture to its max, allowing it to form a natural structure to show off its fun and easy-going characteristics. After towel drying the hair, add a dab of flexible wax to create some separation while maintaining the natural look.

Women - Long, Relaxed Waves
This style brings forth tremendous sex appeal for all of the ladies. With noticeable movement and body, this voluptuous hairstyle has length at mid-back and works in some relaxed beachy waves and texture. The cut provides a styled, yet carefree look that is easy to maintain throughout the day and is perfect for the active summer months. Same as the A-Line Bob, this style is low maintenance and requires just a finishing spray to hold the waves and add movement.

Men - Modern Greaser
This modern greaser hairstyle has a vintage, yet modern, trendy look. The cut has a bold structure all the way around. Its distinguished strength is a great fit for the young, confident professional and is ideal for medium course hair with a slight wave. Using a product with strong hold and mat finish is great to accomplish this hairstyle.
