Flipp Salon-Apothecary

A little reminder to myself and the world at large of why I opened my lovely little salon-apothecary in the first place, and why I still love it today. I have been deeply studying all things plants, ingredients, cosmetic science and both herbal and cosmetic formulation for many years and continue to deepen my knowledge through multiple programs, currently including deep dive in Botany and herbal medicine with the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine. I’m always happy to chat about all and any of it. To answer any questions on why we do what we do, how it’s done, provide info on all of the organizations we have and still support that are fighting to protect our planet, and about the indie brands and artisans we have and supported over the last (almost) 16 years and still do!

So many ways to define the super fun and versatile “s**g”. It’s also known as Wolf Cut, M.E.T. (Modern textured), The Rachael (90’s version), the Shullet.

Every era had one, starting in the late 60’s up to today. Many versions…all super fun.

This cute little s**g was don’t by using mixed razor and shear techniques. Razor requires the hair to be soaking wet when carving it out, and holding the sections with a lot of tension. The blade needs to be super sharp and angled correctly. Shear work was used as the hair began to air dry a bit to creat a little more density to the overall look, and to anchor some sections by creating a more solid strand ending, rather than an airy tapered one created by razor cutting. The blend is beautiful, especially on medium density.

Shags. Forever. That is all.

Swipe to see the before ✨
