Blunt Layers for 2022—Seagull Hair Salon

Seagull Hair Salon is all about Blunt layers for 2022!

Blunt layered haircuts are one of the hottest trends for 2022. These haircuts involve cutting the hair into distinct layers, each ending in a sharp, blunt edge. This creates a bold, geometric look that is both modern and chic.

 

One of the key advantages of blunt layered haircuts is their versatility. They can be worn by people with various hair types and lengths, making them a popular choice for those who want to try a new haircut without committing to a major change.
To achieve the perfect blunt layered look, it's important to start with a good haircut. Your stylist should carefully cut each layer so that it ends in a sharp, straight line. This creates a clean, defined look that is striking and easy to maintain.
Once your haircut is complete, you can experiment with different styling techniques to create a range of looks. For a sleek, polished look, you can use a flat iron to straighten your hair and create a smooth, straight finish. Alternatively, you can create volume and texture by using a curling iron or hot rollers.
In terms of color, blunt layered haircuts look great with a wide range of shades. Solid, bold colors like red, blue, and purple are particularly popular, as they create a striking contrast with the sharp lines of the haircut. Highlights and lowlights can also add depth and dimension to the hair, creating a more multidimensional look.
Overall, blunt layered haircuts are a great choice for those who want a bold, modern look that is versatile and easy to maintain. With their sharp, geometric lines and endless styling possibilities, these haircuts will surely be a hit in 2022.

Chunky Highlights

90's hair continues to be a vibe through 2023, at least. Chunky highlights are all anyone talks about when talking about color pre-Y2K. Let's call this Y2KHair. 

No one did chunky highlights better than James Iha—guitarist and co-founder of Smashing Pumpkins. 

 

If you are looking for inspirational photos, look no further. The's color block highlights epitomize a place frozen in time—but our stylists can go back and yank them from the time-sphere, putting them on your head for a total Y2K look. Paired with deeply shaggy and shattered ends on a blocky layered cut... Well. This is all you want.

That one time Shaun went and did hair during DEEP COVID at Columbia Medicine

One time, during the darkest hours of lockdown, Seagull's Shaun Surething went and made a makeshift hair salon at Columbia Emergency Mecial Hospital on 168th street for a couple of days... Good times, good vibes.

Seagull's Mentorship!!!/Recent Grads

It's been a LOOOONNNNG time since we've posted. 

In the last year, Seagull and Shaun have spearheaded a monolithic and singular mentorship/apprenticeship program that rises above a par-for-the-course New York City—generally two-year—assistantship time frame. 

We are so happy to announce—albeit kinda late—our newest graduates. If you haven't already, meet Katie and Carly!

Katie has been working with our Principal stylists on the floor for over a year. Though starting with Seagull's mentorship program pre-2020, we now proudly have her as a full-time stylist. 

Katie’s cutting and coloring techniques are infused with shots of precision based on her background as an Autocad architectural designer. Sharp lines and geometric shapes juxtaposed with soft layers come to mind naturally for Katie; they inform shapes and guide specific styles to manifest IRL on real people. How lucky for us!

Additionally, Carly!!!

With a background in musical theater and repping cowgirl nowness, Carly brings a nuanced appreciation for nouveau Americana to NEW New York City—Americana in rugged, urban forms, always sexy and never dull. Carly’s style is virulent in disrupting binary assumptions of beauty. Just because is never enough. Why not MORE?

A junior stylist and colorist, Carly has completed extensive color and cutting training in Seagull’s hard-won apprenticeship program with ease and anticipation for the big time. Originally  Aveda trained, Carly is precise with her shear work and has an ambitious eye for color. 

Katie and Carly breathe new and exciting breath and perspective into our already robust, fun and chill environment. A real family affair!

The now-one-year-old apprenticeship program includes weekly training from our principal stylists and imported Wella advanced color knowledge from the field of national educators. They know their stuff! From advanced highlighting techniques to the newest cutting-edge hair shaping for everyday wear, these ladies have what you need. And get them while they're newer to Seagull's salon floor. They're building fast and furious. 

Our mentorship program aims to find the best and most enthusiastic young feminist-leaning trainees looking to contribute more than just an injection of pure style into NYC. We found them! And they're fucking fantastic. Check out their Instagrams and know it for yourself. Katie's
