“I don’t even think I was thinking about it until I found Jayne’s Instagram page,” Elizabeth Barrett, an assistant film editor in Los Angeles, told me over the phone. “Do NOT get the haircut,” Jen said to me. But could the haircut look as good on me as it seems to look on everyone on Instagram - people who have, yes, chosen to document their haircuts and probably wouldn’t have done so unless they looked great? Could it possibly keep its shape after that initial before-and-after photo? Is there any way - any way at all - that it doesn’t become a huge, stupid-looking mess immediately after your first home wash? “I want the haircut,” I said to Jen. I want its effortless charm, its face-framing deliberateness, its vague French-ness. Still, I can’t help but want the haircut. She is currently in search of a different haircut. “I could tell I’d gone too far, and that opinion was confirmed as it started to dry.” But was it truly a bad cut? Or was it perhaps just the fact that she was used to seeing herself a certain way, and had to adjust? “I think it’s the fact I’m not a young, thin 22-year-old.” Jen told me she was panicked “right from the start” of the haircut process. “Let’s just say I agreed to try ‘something new’ and then exited Edo Salon looking nothing like Natasha Lyonne,” she said. I hesitate to tell you to look unless you are sure you will not be swayed from whatever your particular haircut is now, or you are ready to commit to a (maybe) lifetime of having a very deliberate and potentially very cool haircut. Please be honest with yourself before clicking.Ī post shared by Jayne Matthews colleague, Jen Gann - a woman I thought I knew - admitted, in response to Notopoulos’s tweet, that she had already succumbed to Jayne and the haircut. It will, very likely, make you want this haircut. The hashtag #shaghaircut that often accompanies her photos (and the photos of the many other hairstylists whose Instagram fame has also grown as a result of their documentation of the #shaghaircut) has 29,310 posts. Her Instagram is full of before-and-after shag shots of her adorable, shag-loving clientele. She has over 56,000 followers on Instagram, including several of my friends (none of whom live in the Bay Area). The Bay Area hairstylist she’s talking about is Jayne Matthews from San Francisco’s Edo Salon and Gallery. A post shared by Jayne Matthews haircut was brought to my attention earlier this month when BuzzFeed’s Katie Notopoulos tweeted: “Tech platforms are cracking down on anti-vaxx content, and yet I see Instagram taking NO ACTION on the hair stylist in San Francisco who only gives people shaggy bang cuts, which is extremely dangerous long-haired people across the country, thinking they can pull off that look.”
