InStyle.com site producer Leah Abrahams had been considering making a change for a while, so when we heard celebrity hairstylist Anh Co Tran was visiting the New York City area, we just had to get an appointment with him at the L’Appartement Hair Boudoir to make the major change.
Tran, who just opened the Ramirez Tran salon in Beverly Hills with colorist Johnny Ramirez, is the mane man behind Coco Rocha and Ginnifer Goodwin‘s cuts, so Leah was certainly in good hands! After browsing through a few inspiration images and chatting about her usual hair routine, the two decided on a style and Tran began working his magic. “In her situation, it was more about giving her hair more body,” he says. “I like the bob on Leah because it suits her face and hits right at the neck area — we didn’t want to go any shorter than that.”
Instead of lathering up, Tran started with completely dry hair. “This allows me to see cowlicks, and how her hair behaves. I can also see split ends, and if there are any, this allows me to trim them down,” he explains. “Most people wear their hair in its dry state, so I cut it that way.” Nothing says “I just cut my hair” like a straight, harsh line, so to avoid this, Tran cut into the hair to create variation and give the look a lived-in effect. “You know how you get a new pair of jeans and you have to break them in? I’m kind of breaking the hair in for you,” he says. “Instead of getting that new stiff pair, you’re getting worn-in, vintage jeans, and that’s the same philosophy that applies to the haircut. You end up with a style that suits you, and becomes part of you.”
