Cherry Cola —

The Depth of Confidence

  • Barbara’s cherry cola short haircut with soft texture and confident shape at The Hair Mansion Reading MA.

    A bold, sultry hue with a shape that shows off every bit of her confidence. This cherry cola tone is lush, velvety, and quietly dramatic—cut close through the sides and back with lived-in length through the top for effortless versatility. One of my all-time favorite shapes for her: close to the face, with just enough edge to mirror her strength and presence.
