The Sweet Spot: Midlength Designs

There’s something undeniably special about the in-between—where hair isn’t short, isn’t long, but lives confidently in the middle. These midlength designs strike a rare balance: long enough to flip, short enough to swing, and always shaped with intention. From softly layered shapes to color that adds subtle impact, this is where ease meets elegance—and where your style finds its sweet spot.

Thoughtfully cut, artfully colored—these midlength looks sit in that just-right space between short and long, blending movement, ease, and shape.
