Introducing the French facelift hair cut
Jo Hansford Mayfair and Jo Hansford Harvey Nichols salons are bringing a Parisian touch to British hairdressing with the introduction of Visagisme – the French Face Lift haircut. This innovative technique, designed to elevate volume and sculpt the face, is a natural way to add lift without going under the knife.
Visagisme is based on the principle of creating a hairstyle with the unique structure of each face. Unlike traditional cutting methods that focus on sectioning, the French approach builds the cut differently—creating connections rather than divisions to add lift and movement.
“When we do this style of cut, we become the hair’s architect,” says Zacharie Jardin, Senior Stylist at Jo Hansford Harvey Nichols (pictured right), who worked in Paris and many of its top salons for more than 15 years.
He continues: “The cut is all about angles, aesthetics and volume and the results are always transformational. “French women understand the power of lift when it comes to hair—often opting for shorter, more structured styles that enhance their natural features and create an effortlessly chic effect.”
The French Face Lift haircut is tailored to suit every face shape, with an immediate lifting effect on the cheekbones and overall facial structure.
Zacharie Jardin explains: “It’s particularly beneficial for those in mid-life whose hair may feel like curtains, dragging the face down, which can make women look drained. It’s also a wonderful for those experiencing thinning hair, as this method counteracts loss of volume by strategically shaping and elevating the hair.”
The transformative effect can be further enhanced with expert colour application. As Bridget Kearney, Senior Colourist at Jo Hansford Harvey Nichols, explains: “Our new French Face Lift haircut can be taken to the next level with carefully placed colour such as lights or balayage, adding even more dimension, differentiation and radiance to the face.”
The French Face Lift haircut starts from £165 and colour appointment starts from £130 at Jo Hansford salons.
