It’s important to get the fringe right, because it’s the most visible part of the haircut. It’s right at the front and will make the biggest difference to a client’s overall look. More than any other area on a cut, the fringe will set the character of a person, so it’s vital to ensure the length and shape suit the wearer. A tiny alteration to the shape of a fringe can turn a client from a suburban housewife into a dominatrix – it really is that powerful! - Akin Konizi

One of the key trends for AW19 will be a fringe that sits just below the brows, with a soft curved line. It’s a look inspired by 1960's and 1970's fashion, although modern interpretations will play with the length more, offering longer and shorter versions depending on the personality and lifestyle of the client.
In general, fringes this season will move away from the hard geometric or asymmetric styles that were popular last year. Now it’s more about worn-in, slightly grown-out shapes. Fringes are not cut as far back at the sides as they used to be, although this shape may make a comeback soon as part of the 1980s resurgence that we are currently experiencing. - Akin Konizi
