Short Story
According to celebrity stylist Ted Gibson, a short and sexy haircut can give women a big boost of confidence. It's also a flattering style on African-American women who relax their hair and may find that it doesn't grow in long and healthy because it's so moisture depleted. "Short hair also allows you to emphasize your client's face or a long, beautiful neck," says Gibson, who carved out this shape to bring out his model's best feature—her eyes. —L.M.

Step Up to the Bar
The concept of spending a full day at the spa is a thing of the past, which is why Lydia Sarfati has introduced the Repêchage Facial Bar. Now salons and spas can offer express treatments out in the open. "What the Facial Bar does is bring that facial out of the closet," Sarfati says. "Shorter express treatments allow clients to experience more of the beauty services that are offered in the salon." The concept makes sense when you consider that Sarfati's mantra is, "Show, tell and you will sell!" repechage.com —M.D.
