A good hair cut - a mix of science and artistry

Although we pride ourselves at Fich+Ramous on our expertise in the most difficult technical aspects of hairdressing - colouring, extensions and permanent waves - a good hair cut is absolutely vital to producing the desired effect.

A hair cut should be a very personal service, as every head is different, and every client has unique needs. So Fich+Ramous actively encourages staff to develop their own styles, identities and cutting specializations. Unlike the big national chains, we do not have a catalogue of pre-defined "looks" that can limit your choice and be unsuitable for your face shape and hair texture.

This page is not meant as complete guide to cutting hair, but it will give you an insight into the many factors and techniques our stylists consider when cutting your hair.

the basic essentials of a good haircut

An experienced stylist will take into account the shape of your face shape, the balance between features (nose, mouth, ears and forehead) and advise on styles of cuts that would complement and improve - rather than just "fit in" to a passing fad.

Clippers, razors and scissors are used by a good stylist to cut, texture and volumise - not only changing the shape of your hairstyle, but also creating -

volume - hair density and amount of body
texture - wispy, choppy, smooth or blunt
and movement - sleek, wavy, jagged or swept

A good stylist will be using some or all all of these techniques on different parts of your head as the texture, direction of growth and volume is likely to vary between your crown, nape, fringe and sides.

choosing a hair style that suits you

Some of us can remember the 70's and 80's when everyone wore the latest hair style. Not only were some of these "fashions" of very dubious merit, (bubble perms? feather cuts?) but they took no account of your style.

21st century individuality now allows all of us to choose a style that is both current and suitable.

Again, an experienced stylist will now take into account the shape of your face shape, the balance between features (nose, mouth, ears and forehead) and advise on styles of cuts that would compliment and improve - rather than just "fit in" to a passing fad.

Some body and facial features that require a careful choice of hair style -

a large nose can be disguised with hair onto the face in soft, graduated sides
short necks need graduation that adds width to the head and extends the neck.
long faces can suit soft waves or short choppy cuts with width
