Clients are getting a lot of length cut off for spring/summer!!!!

Which one?

Perhaps you, like writer Val Monroe, have noticed more women on the red carpet—and in your life—proudly letting nature take its course on their faces. Perhaps you've also noticed that none of them has a single gray hair. "I recently wrote about feeling hopeful that the age of facial conformity might be losing steam, appreciating the way 60-year-old Jodie Foster and 67-year-old Annette Bening, for example, have steered clear of facial fiddling," writes Monroe in her latest story for Allure. "But they both remain committed blondes." You also won't find a gray hair on the heads of recent Oscar winner , , , or either: "These talented women are all allowing their faces to age, more or less, visibly (and naturally) but refuse to forswear their monthly colorist appointments." Monroe shares why she thinks a woman in middle age and beyond might be cautious about the ways in which she chooses to authentically represent her age. (The answer is more than ageism.)
