Oh, where oh where has the "IT" haircut gone?

Vicki'
Over the years there's been the Twiggy, the Jackie O', the Dorothy Hamilton, the Cher, the Farrah, the Rachel and the Rhianna.  Every year there seems to be the one "it" haircut.  Unless I'm mistaken the last women's haircut that caused a stir was the "Victoria" as in Ms. Beckham.  First she got the choppy bob and then once Moms in middle America started to copy her she chopped it off into a stylish Mia Farrowish boy crop. 
They can come in Shags, long layered cuts, beveled bobs and faux hawks.  We get our beauty inspiration from the media and those that rule itI've been in the hair industry for 20+ years and I can't count the times a client has brought in a picture of a celebrity for their new look.  
Don't get me wrong I love getting inspired by "cele-beauty".   In fact we dedicate two walls at the barber lounge to Hair Icons, one for men one for women.  They include style movers and  makers like Linda Evangelista, Madonna, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, the Beatles, the Stones and David Beckham.  Trends for men are big the past few years.  We've seen the Zach, the Brad, the Chase, the Don and heaven help us the Bieber.  They But not since Vicky Beckham's crop top have we seen an "it" haircut.   Hello?!  Calling all celebrity stylists.  We need a new it girl.

  1. The IT hair has been elusive for curly haired gals like myself... When I think if IT curly hair I think of Debrah Messing's 'Will & Grace' character and of course, Julia Roberts in 'Pretty Woman'.
