With sexy celebs like Hayden Panettiere and Renée Zellweger chopping off their long locks in favor of shorter styles, we had to wonder–what do guys think about the short hair trend? To find out, we polled 50 men in New York City’s Central Park to ask: Do you think short hair is sexy? We found that the majority of the men (62%!) preferred long hair over short. Check out their reasons why!

The guys who hated it said:
“To me, the women in these photos have hair that’s a little too short. Shoulder length or longer looks better on all women in general. I can’t pick out a single [celebrity] whose after shot I like more.”–Victor, 26

“I won’t say it doesn’t look good sometimes, but for the most part long hair looks good on all women. Personally, I’ve never met a woman who doesn’t look good with long hair. I can’t say the same for short hair.”–Kasey, 31

The guys who loved it said:
“Twenty years ago I would’ve said that I like long hair more. But now that I’m married I’ve learned that my wife is much happier dealing with short hair. Now I like short hair too.”–Walter, 42

“I read [a study] once that women are most likely to cut off their hair after a break-up out of fear of what their men will think. I’m not sure what that means but I for one like short hair more.”–Adam, 37

Were you surprised by the comments? What do you think of short hair?

I’m digging my new hair cut! I’ve been growing out my hair in the hopes that, with more to work with, I can figure out a new look . For the last few weeks, my straight asian hair has been tough to control as it got longer. It was just… long; longer than I’ve ever had, and it was time to get it cut! Luckily I had met, Adam Markarian, a celebrity stylist who has worked on the locks of Mischa Barton and Zac Posen, as well as for DVF runway shows and more.

BEFORE

Adam consulted on what styles would suit me depending on what I was comfortable with. I work in a corporate environment during the week so I need a conservative hairstyle. However, on the weekends I do go out so I wanted something that could be fun too. Adam, who originally started as a metal sculptor before studying from some of the top stylists in California, immediately envisioned the look he had in mind for me. After some time in the chair, lots of meticulous, precision cutting, and a bit of L’Oreal hair product… Voila! My hair has more texture, is easily manageable, and can go from conservative to fun!

AFTER

Girls, if you are in search for a new look or want a hollywood makeover, I would definitely suggest giving Adam a call! I also wanted to share with you some of the great magazine worthy “hair art” that Adam Markarian and his work partner, Harmonie Redman, has done. This creative pair has completed avante-garde masterpieces where they transform hair into fabric!

And some more beautiful work by the styling duo for Zac Posen’s 2009/10 Fur Campaign , as well as Elettra Wiedemann (Isabella Rossellini’s daughter) for a G-Star event.

I was finally able to make some time to see the movie Julie & Julia this weekend and it was sooo cute! Finally they make a movie on such an amazing woman who became everyone’s favorite chef (and mine too!).  Meryl Streep was perfect for the role and Amy Adams was charming as always.  Amy certainly manages to pull off that “girl-next-door-yet-I-can-be-sexy” look.  She is definitely one hot red-head, especially with her beautiful hair color on the cover of Allure’s August issue. (I totally want to color my hair red now!)

Her glowing hair color was done by the brilliant Tracey Cunningham, Redken’s Creative Consultant for Color.  Tracey used Redken Shades EQ to keep Amy’s color close to the natural pigment of her roots softening the deep red that we are used to.

Tracey says, “ When you have a client with a beautiful natural existing shade like Amy you don’t want to take that away. When I color Amy’s hair we just brighten and enrich her natural color with Redken Shades EQ. A true redhead like Amy has alluring color and you don’t want to die over that shade.”

If you want to get Amy’s hot hair color, talk to your colorist about Tracey’s formula for Amy:

Tracey uses equal parts of Redken’s Shades EQ -

• 08C Cayenne
• 09NB Irish Creme
• 09AA Papaya
• 07G Saffron

Redken Shades EQ is a demi-permanent color which provides healthy, shiny results, incredible conditioning with an amazing number of mixing possibilities. Shades EQ is used as a glaze, color refresher, and also color correction.

The warm weather has finally arrived in New York! After weeks of being rained out, I finally got a chance to leave my umbrella home, drop the top on my convertible, and show off my pedicure!

The sunlight gave me an extra little boost, but I got to thinking: “How can I update my summer look?” Everywhere I turn I see my fellow brunette’s lightening their locks ever so naturally. I just loved the highlight’s on Victoria’s Secret’s Angel Alessandra Ambrosio, E!’s Guiliana Rancic, and of course, the Queen of Sun-Kissed Locks, Jennifer Aniston!

Armed with copies of the latest fashion and gossip magazines (you caught me!), I went to see my stylist to update my looks. We looked through some pictures together, and before I knew it, she had bleach and toner mixed and the perfect plan to update my look.

A few hours later, I emerged from the salon a new woman, ready for the summer sunshine! So, what do you think of my new look? What do you ladies (and gents) out there do to freshen YOUR summer style?
