FaceFluent / Stylist reference
Classic quiff
Lift at the front, swept back over neatly tapered sides.

- Type of change
- Cut
- Visible length
- Short
Visible length describes the outline in this illustration, not stretched or underlying hair length.
Ask your stylist
Keep enough length through the front to sweep it up and back, with softly tapered sides. Ask the stylist to demonstrate a finish that works with your growth pattern.
Your routine
The lifted shape usually takes deliberate drying and hold; a softer finish needs less shaping.
Agree before starting
- What length and outline should we aim for when my hair is dry?
- How should we adapt this shape to my texture, density and growth patterns?
- What should stay the same? Confirm any change to color, texture or overall length.
- What daily styling, salon upkeep and cost should I expect?
