Fall Hair Trends: Men’s Medium Length Hair

We love this haircut that was recently featured on MopShots and think its an ideal style to rock for the fall season. What do you think?

Here is what MopShots had to say: “This cut is so versatile…It’s presented in a very hip “Mrs. Robinson” way, but if slicked back off Jay’s face, he could be an English Lit undergrad at Columbia circa 1969. I love the mod suggestion with corporate wearability that this cut works out.”

Fall Hair Ideas on MopShots

Check out this great hair style featured on MopShots here.

Here is what the MopShots editors said about the cut:

“Smooth sleek style with great color added in for definition. This is a seriously sexy cut, which can work in a variety of ways and still provide that “come hither” look. The color highlights are stellar as well!” – Stevie Wilson

“This combination of colour and highlights is exactly what I want for this fall. It’s spicy & sweet!” – Rachel

Men’s Mops on Mopshots

One of Lancer’s recent style cuts for his client Tom was featured on MopShots as a great and well done cut. The shot above shows Tom’s cut taken from the side. You can see the entire feature on the MopShots profile.

You can see all of our client pictures that are up on Mopshots.com by going to the search page and entering Emerson. If you like what you see, let them and us know it!

Jordana’s Review on MopShots: “This fun, loose haircut is the perfect compliment to Tom’s big blue eyes. It doesn’t look too shaggy, or too groomed. The ideal Summer cut!”

Lancer Featured on Mopshots.com!!

One of Emerson Salon’s top stylists, Lancer Forney, is currently being featured on Mopshots.com for one of his signature haircuts (top left in the picture above). Check out the full feature here on mopshots.com.

Valarie’s review: “Gary’s short (but not too short) sandy blonde hair looks cool and classic with his light blue eyes and strong jaw. His style manages to be both laid back and well-groomed. The lines of his cut are carefully clipped, yet the front is left a little longer, so he can apply product and move it in different directions. Lancer’s style can create a slight faux haux or can be combed into a more conservative style.”


Congrats Lancer!!

Client Photos: Edgy and Purple

One of my long-time clients and a new dad is always up for something edgy, both in haircut and in hair color. We recently changed his bright red to a deep purple which enhances his angular face and haircut. I styled his hair with Fudge’s Fat Hed and Hair Varnish. He was also recently selected on Mopshots. If you like his hair, don’t keep it a secret!



Lauren’s Review: “
I am very happy with this look on Loren. The cut is perfect for his attitude and hairline, and I love seeing the purple color as opposed to the usual jet black or platinum blonde.”

To Lauren: Me too, me too. It is time to move forward into the future of Alt-hair!

Hairstyle Tip: I dried Loren’s hair with Alterna’s Life Volume Mousse, using my hands and a hair dryer. Once dry, I used Fudge’s Hair Varnish to define and enhance his sharp layers and fringe.

Hairstyle Ideas from MopShots

There is nothing I like more than to browse peoples amazing hairstyles, which is one reason why I really love the site Mopshots. Here are 2 of my recent favorite hairstyle ideas.


“This long flirty cut works so well on Kelsey. The layers, curls and waves compliment the color while the side swept bangs emphasize her eyes. There’s a lot of dimension and movement with her hair. It’s hard not to keep looking at this great style, cut and color!” (from mopshots)


“Jamie has the whole look working for her. Her hairstyle and the flipped out layers go perfectly with her retro ensemble. Some say blondes should not wear yellow, but I disagree. I actually think it’s a perfect pairing, and this is a great example!” (from mopshots)

Some Great Haircut Ideas From MopShots


To style the bob haircut in the first two pics, first blow dry your hair with a medium hold gel, like Fudge’s Erekt (for finer hair), which plumps up the hairs and holds them in the direction you dry them into, or Fudge’s Fat Hed (for thicker locks).

Once dry, finish the look with a piecing product to enhance the textured pieces like Kevin Murphy’s Sticky Business(for thicker hair locks) or a little bit of Alterna’s Radiant Smoothing Lotion (for finer hair).

Haircut Ideas from MopShots

A new site launched called MopShots by City Search. It’s a site where hair salons from around the US can upload images of recent work on clients. We’ll be uploading our pictures soon….in the meantime check out these great cuts from around the US


“This cut has been a very popular celebrity hairstyle. Victoria Beckham, Rihanna and even Katie Holmes have all sported a similar look. If you’re going for an edgy haircut, this ‘do is for you!” (from mopshots)

“I love how Jenny’s haircut makes her look so youthful. Good decision on cutting thick bangs and layers around the face, which can do wonders showing off a circular face. The layers take a lot of the bulk and weight out of her hair that would be there if she chose to have it blunt. Her warm chocolate brown hair color is also very complimentary to her skin tone and perfect for every season!” (from mopshots)
