“Mermaid Hair” has taken the internet by storm, with the brightest combinations of pinks, blues, and purples paired with electric greens and yellows. Stevie Smith gave this hair color phenomenon new life with her Wella Master Color expertise in our Master Class. Muting the rose and denim hues to blend with natural blonde and brunette gives the model a fun dimensional look while maintaining the integrity of her hair. The colorful panels can be hidden for a professional day-time style or accentuated with a side part and a few curls.
As highly regarded colorist and stylist, Stevie Smith’s work has been featured in magazines such as Allure, Chicago Social and Chicago Bride, and she has styled television and movie actors, theater dancers and fashion models.

Stevie’s innovative take on fundamental techniques created an inspiring cut and color combination – I loved learning from her!” – Stylist Cara Harrison
Supermodel Karlie Kloss made this cut famous when R+Co Co-Founder Garren cut her long bombshell locks to a short length just below the chin. Vogue named it “The Chop” and it sparked the long-bob trend, revived recently when Garren, again, cut and styled Kendall Jenner’s hair for Vogue’s coveted September Issue.
