Collarbone Cut

The collarbone cut is the simplest cut on the menu — one length at the collarbone, blunt or slightly tapered, with internal weight removed but no visible face-framing layers. It's the haircut you ask for when you want zero drama, maximum versatility, and a length that works for everything from a gym ponytail to a black-tie wedding.

It flatters every face shape — oval, square, heart, oblong — and almost every texture. Straight and wavy hair show the line cleanest; curly hair adapts to a softer collarbone-length variant. The cut is the most universal length on the long-hair spectrum because it splits the difference between long and short without committing to either.

Low daily maintenance — air-dry with leave-in cream, or quick blowout. The collarbone cut is the closest long-hair gets to wash-and-go. Trim every eight weeks to maintain weight at the ends. The cut has stayed continuously in rotation across decades because it isn't tied to any specific era — it's just the most functionally useful long-hair length. Ask for 'one length grazing the collarbone with internal weight removed, not face-framing layers' — that specification produces the cut; vague 'long hair' won't.
