There's a very special hair salon located on 9th Street, in New York City's East Village:
"Crops for Girls". This salon is very unique because it specializes in women's short haircuts.
Actually there's a big sign outside the salon that says "SPECIALIZING IN WOMEN'S SHORT
HAIRCUTS". This might seem odd because the salon owner could be putting of clients that are not
ready (yet) for short hair. The opposite is true. The salon is successful and that success is thanks
to the speciality: short hair!
Owner and hairstylist Michael Damico started cutting hair in 1985. Soon he realized that it was
pretty boring doing almost nothing else but trimming and blow drying long hair. He opened his first
own hair salon in New York City in May 1992. It was a bit disappointing to see that again most of his
clients were coming to his salon for just a trim. Clients wouldn't let him cut their hair short. For
such a drastic change they were going to big shot hairdressers charging $100 or more for a haircut.
Michael was charging only $30 and was perfectly capable of creating the same gorgeous shorter
haircuts like the expensive hairstylists did. That was when he decided to specialize in short haircuts
for women.
He wanted to be creative with scissors and clippers.
Michael loves doing funky haircuts and that works best with
short hair. It is very exciting to start with a long head of hair,
put all your creativity in it, and end with a stunning short
haircut. Doing good short haircuts takes much more practice
than doing long hair. The fact that Michael has so much
experience with short haircuts makes him the ideal hairstylist
to go to when your are ready for a big change. He will give
professional advice so that you can get the maximum out of
your new look.
You are always welcome to visit the salon and to go through the books with many short and
very short hairstyles. Michael will be glad to give you advice on what short styles would look good
on you. Are you curious about the possibilities of short hair for yourself? Pop in for a consultation.
After seeing how versatile, trendy and attractive short hair can be you might just be ready to take
the plunge also. Let this short hair specialist be creative with your locks and enjoy the beauty and
comfort of a short haircut. And the best of all: Michael is sometimes giving away free haircuts!
There are many reasons why you could decide to go short.
The main reason of course is that the right short haircut will bring
the most out of a girl's natural beauty. Too many girls are hiding
their beautiful facial features behind a curtain of long locks. It is a
pity to see how some girls are spending heaps of time washing
and blow drying long hair while they would look much better with
a short cut that is easy and quick to style. It is a fact that a lot of
girls would look best with a short haircut.
That's why most stylists cut a lot of hair off when you give them "carte blanche".

Short hair is gaining popularity again. Young women with really short haircuts are seen very
often in New York City these days. Did you know that New York's East Village is known for
creating trends that sweep through the rest of Manhattan and then the world quickly?
Maybe it's not a coincidence that Michael's salon is located there.
