The Wash
Stylist/colorist Adrina Mekertichian jumped right in, thoroughly shampooing Christine's hair to get her ready for her cut. Mekertichian applied conditioner and let it set for several minutes in Christine's hair before rinsing.

The Cut
Fearless about losing a few inches, Christine was enthusiastic about getting a new cut that would highlight her features.

"Because Christine's hair is so thick and straight, I used a razor to shape and layer the cut," said Mekertichian. "I also worked in a U-shaped fringe because it's versatile and will work well with her face shape."

The Style
After the cut, Mekertichian dried Christine's hair using a round brush to add volume at the roots. She followed the blowout with a flat iron to smooth her hair and allow her new cut to take shape.

"Even though she has a new fringe, Christine can still wear a center part or push it over to one side as she styles it," said Mekertichian."It's a really great cut that can be simple or glammed up with some styling."

The Makeup
Eager to finish her new look, Christine headed over to makeup artist Taylor Babian to get a bold, smoky eye. Babian used dark, deep blue hues over Christine's entire upper eyelid and blended a little underneath her lower lash line. To add some extra drama, Babian opted for full, thick false lashes. Finally, Babian topped the look off with a light pink lip gloss.

The Results
Christine was, in a word, thrilled with the results -- "I look so different! My makeup makes me want to go out tonight!" she said. "I love how the haircut makes the layers look so natural and bouncy. It's super soft and so fitting for me. I can't wait to show it off at my new job!"
