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.
Robert Vazquez has worked with Garren for 13 years, gaining invaluable experience that has shaped his career as a hair stylist and educator. Vazquez wanted to create a “wash-and-go” style for his model, a new mom with an infant at home. He styled her cut with R+Co’s Sail Soft Wave Spray, spraying it all over her damp hair, then finishing with a rough blow dry – without a brush. He emphasizes that the right haircut, and using the right products, can drastically simplify your daily styling routine.
I love classes with Robert Vazquez because he works among the greatest hairdressers in the industry, yet he stresses the importance of mastering foundational techniques, and gives us permission to use them to create master looks.” -Stylist Carmella Williamson
