My wife was a Stylist for almost fifty years, with a stellar career. This is what she says. You would think that long hair would make an older person look young because mostly young people have long hair. Actually the opposite is true many times. An older person with long hair, especially when it’s not kept up, looks old and out of touch with her maturity. When her hair is cut shorter into a vibrant style, all of a sudden she looks ten years younger, younthfuf and modern. Her clients that have taken that step, never look back. This is especially true when the person works in a corporate setting, where looks and presentation is paramount. She also had clients that kept long hair, which was their choice. One thing about hair, it always grows back.
