What's Your Shape?
by HAIR'S HOW
Spanish stylist Roberto Mesones is sure that face shapes need a lot of attention on the part of stylists to ensure that cuts or styles be a success! Another stylist Brian Perry (Farouk) says "The key is to use the shape to design a great style. The good news is any face shape can look spectacular with the right hair design". Beauty experts used to believe oval shaped faces were the most flexible for wearing any type of hairstyle. This oval-is-best belief is no longer prevalent. There is no wrong of right shape. But having a good idea of your baseline shape helps to select flattering styles.

Trevor Sorbie. A "Bespoke" Life
by Elena Negreskul
The term "bespoke"- meaning custom-made to a buyer's specifications - isn't used much on this side of the Atlantic. Maybe it's part of the democratic, mass-produced American ideal - some of us want to believe that "one size fits all."

TOP TEN TIPS. FOR THE NATURAL NAIL
by Victoria Thomas
In a World of Fakes, a Healthy, Unenhanced Nail Is the Real Deal

But the great thing about healthy, natural nails - meaning a nail with no tip, wrap, gel, silk or other arti-ficial enhancement - is that when the inevitable split or break does occur, you can file them down, condition hands, nails and cuticles, and just start over.
