Women's haircuts
From a clean trim to a complete change, cut for your texture and how you actually wear your hair, whether that is air-dried after the beach or blown out for an evening in the village.
Men's grooming
Clean, contemporary cuts that look sharp in the heat and need little or no product.
Kids and students
Comfortable, practical cuts for younger clients, especially before summer and before school starts.
Blowouts and styling
Add a finished blowout to your cut, or book one for an event. See our Sag Harbor blowout page.
What makes a great summer haircut
Summer on the East End is hard on hair: sun, salt water, chlorine, wind and humidity. A great summer cut is designed for it.
It air-dries well. Most summer days end with hair drying naturally after the beach or pool. A cut shaped to your natural texture looks good without a blow-dryer.
It works with humidity. The right layers and weight distribution help control frizz and volume when the air is heavy.
It removes damaged ends. Starting the season with fresh ends means less breakage later.
It is easy to tie up. Long enough to braid or put up for a boat day or a windy beach, if you want that option.
It still looks polished at night. A good cut takes a quick blowout or a little product and goes from beach to dinner.
Popular cuts for the Hamptons
Long, soft layers
Movement and lightness that look beautiful air-dried with natural waves, and polished when blown out.
The lob
Collarbone length, versatile, cooler in summer, and easy to wear wavy, straight or tucked back.
Textured shags
Piece-y layers with built-in movement, ideal for wavy hair and salt-spray texture.
Curtain bangs
Soft, parted bangs that frame the face and can be pinned back on the beach.
Classic men's cuts
A clean taper or textured crop that looks neat after a swim and needs no styling.
Men's grooming in Sag Harbor
A summer cut should look right on the boat, at the beach and at dinner.
- Book before Memorial Day to start the season sharp
- Book again around the Fourth of July to keep the shape through August
- Ask for a cut that air-dries well so you do not need product after swimming
- Book about a week before a wedding or event so it looks settled in photos
Haircuts for kids
Kids spend more time in pools and the ocean than anyone, which can leave hair dry, tangled and, for fair hair, slightly green.
- Book a trim before summer starts
- Keep hair at a length that is easy to detangle
- Rinse after every swim and use a leave-in conditioner
- Book again before school starts in September
For year-round clients
Sag Harbor is a year-round community, and the salon serves it in February as well as in August. The off-season is the best time for a bigger change: calendars are quieter, booking is easier, and you have time to grow into a new shape before summer.
What to expect at your appointment
1. Consultation
Your stylist will ask how you wear your hair, whether you air-dry or blow-dry, how much time you spend styling, and whether you color your hair. Bring photos.
2. Shampoo and preparation
Your hair is washed and conditioned, including a treatment for sun-stressed hair if you need it.
3. The cut
Section by section, checking balance and how your hair falls naturally. Some cuts are refined dry to match your natural texture.
4. Finish
Styled to show you the result, with tips on recreating it after the beach.
Tips for keeping your cut looking good all summer
- Rinse with fresh water after swimming, before salt or chlorine dries in
- Use a leave-in conditioner to make detangling easier
- Detangle gently from the ends up with a wide-tooth comb
- Use a little smoothing product in humid weather
- Sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce tangles and frizz
- Book a trim mid-season if your ends feel dry
Cuts by hair type
Fine hair
Fine hair can look flat and thin in humidity. A blunt or lightly layered cut keeps ends fuller, and a lob is easy to wear wet or dry.
Thick hair
Thick hair holds heat and takes ages to dry. Internal layering and texturizing remove weight, so your hair dries faster after the beach and feels cooler.
Wavy hair
Summer brings out natural wave, especially in salt air. Layers placed to encourage your wave let you skip the blow-dryer most days.
Curly hair
Humidity can make curls expand. A curly cut shaped dry, with layers placed for your curl pattern, keeps volume where you want it.
Straight hair
Straight hair can fall flat in humidity. A little texturizing and face-framing layers add movement.
A summer cut plan
Before Memorial Day: a fresh cut to remove winter damage and set the shape for the season.
Late June or early July: a quick trim to keep ends fresh before peak season.
Mid-August: a shape-up if your ends feel dry from sun and salt.
September: a proper reset cut after the season, and a good time for a bigger change.
Styling your cut after the beach
- Rinse with fresh water to remove salt or chlorine.
- Apply a leave-in conditioner from mid-lengths to ends.
- Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb, starting at the ends.
- Scrunch in a light curl cream or sea salt spray for waves, or a smoothing cream for sleeker hair.
- Let it air-dry, or diffuse on low heat.
- For dinner, add a little texture spray or a few pieces smoothed with a flat iron.
Cuts by face shape
Oval faces suit almost anything, from a short bob to long layers.
Round faces look longer with length past the chin, side parts and layers starting below the cheekbones.
Square faces soften with layers around the jaw and soft waves, which summer humidity encourages anyway.
Heart-shaped faces balance with fullness around the chin, like a lob, and soft curtain bangs.
Long faces look balanced with volume at the sides and cuts around shoulder length.
Questions to ask your stylist
- How will this cut look when I air-dry it after the beach?
- Will it hold up in humidity?
- Is it long enough to tie back for boat days and windy afternoons?
- How should I style it for dinner in under ten minutes?
- When should I come back during the season?
- Will it work with my color?
Getting to the salon
From East Hampton: a short drive up Route 114.
From Southampton and Bridgehampton: take the Bridgehampton–Sag Harbor Turnpike into the village.
From Shelter Island: the North Haven ferry lands just outside the village, a short drive from Bridge Street.
Parking: the village is busy on summer weekends, so allow extra time, especially on Friday afternoons and Saturdays.
How often to get a haircut
- Short cuts and bobs: every 4 to 6 weeks
- Medium cuts and lobs: every 6 to 8 weeks
- Long hair: every 8 to 12 weeks, more often in summer if ends are sun-damaged
- Men's cuts: every 4 to 6 weeks
Cut and color together
If you color your hair, book your cut and color together so your stylist and colorist can design them as one look. See our Sag Harbor hair color page, and our guide to Hamptons hair care for protecting your color all summer.
Planning around the season
Summer weekends in Sag Harbor book up fast, especially Friday afternoons and Saturdays in July and August. Book as early as you can, consider weekday mornings, and book your next appointment before you leave. Allow extra time for parking in the village on summer weekends.
Making a big change
The off-season is the best time to try something new, but many summer clients want a fresh look for the season too.
- Start with a consultation before the scissors come out.
- Go in stages if you are unsure. Shoulder length first, then shorter next time.
- Think about the beach. Very short cuts are cool in summer; longer cuts give you the option to tie hair up.
- Pair it with color. A new shape is a good moment to refresh or add sun-kissed brightness.
- Give it a week. New cuts often settle after a few washes.
Caring for your hair after summer
When the season ends, most hair needs a little repair:
- A trim to remove dry, sun-damaged ends
- A deep conditioning treatment to restore softness
- A gloss to correct brassy or faded color
- A break from heat styling for a few weeks
