Some cuts are simply about lopping off split ends, and some happen because you spotted a stranger with such incredible hair, you just had to track down her stylist.

Lest you worry about following the crowd by taming your tresses here, fret not: Though trendy, Hurston’s cuts are tailored to your face shape and hair type.
