The contrasts in Bruno Melgani's collection present themselves in two ways: color and texture are pushed to the edge and even beyond. The result is hairstyles for men and women that elevate familiar looks to an entirely new level.
Layers, A-lines, high necks, and geometric shapes take on a new persona with Bruno Melgani's special treatment. The play with shadow and light, long and short sections within the same haircut, and the emotional depth of the styles make this collection one to study closely. Perhaps your new favorite is right here!
Wearable Art
The collection begins with a remarkable work of wearable art. Pure lines and pure hair colors set the tone. The long A-line cut is one of the most striking shapes in hair fashion, and in Bruno Melgani's interpretation, the classic style is a touch longer in front than typically seen. An intricate application of white highlights boosts the drama.
The lace-like whisper of white contrasts beautifully with the dense black, softening the entire look. Styling emphasizes smoothness and a silky texture, with no stray hairs.
Layers within Layers
The theme of layering is taken to the max, appearing in both the cut and the special effect hair coloring. The long, sleek lines are tapered and textured along the edges, giving a feathery character to the lower part of this stunning haircut.
On the top half, the heavy texture in the tips contrasts with the thick, sleek structure of the style and highlights. These highlights result from an application of color in sheets or layers, with a dark underside shining through the blond top, depending on the movement of the hair.
Form-Fitting Haircut
So many spikes, yet so smooth! Bruno Melgani combines extreme texture with sharp, pointy tips, all in a round and gentle shape. To make it truly spectacular, some asymmetry was added. Short bangs transition into longer tendrils, which frame the face on both sides.
The mass of hair sits on top, and the silhouette narrows toward the neck. During styling, the hair is lifted at the roots to boost volume without raising the entire hair. All the motion and dimension of this short, modern haircut are enhanced by numerous highlights and lowlights.
Rugged and Seductive
Styled toward the back, the great texture of the short layered haircut is showcased, forming a stunning and flattering contour. The hair reaches about the middle of her neck, gently curving around the ears toward the front, while the rest is directed toward the back with airy volume in mind.
Root lift can be achieved with a styling brush and blow dryer, giving the hair a very elegant lightness. Despite the pointy and rugged elements, the overall impression is one of softness. A fun and chic touch is the long strand that shapes half of a frame around her fully exposed face.
Short to Long
This shapely haircut contrasts lengths with a very short neck, finely graduated to smooth against the shape of the head and nape. The upper part is long enough to shape into a perfectly round form with a lot of lift from underneath, at the root level. From this neat and sleek shape, the haircut transitions to a completely different look in front, with long, textured hair.
The diagonally styled fringe covers the eyes and ends at the level of the cheekbones. It is thin enough to function as a smooth veil of mystery, allowing hot glances to peek through. Bold highlights in the front further enhance the edginess.
Mesmerizing Geometry
They say everyone has a dark side—now you can show yours! The standout feature of this short hairstyle is the wide black streak that graces the long, rounded bangs, contrasting nicely with the sterling silver of the bowl-shaped haircut. On closer inspection, you'll discover all the meticulously crafted elements that make this haircut special.
The laser-sharp cutting line, face-hugging small sideburns that draw attention to the cheekbones, intricate graduation along the neck and sides, and the finesse of the fringe shape all contribute to its uniqueness.
Flirty in Auburn
A feisty short haircut and a spicy color—what could be more fun to wear? This versatile cut offers endless styling options. In this version, the top hair is fluffed to cotton candy volume with soft peaks.
The sides are pulled into the face for a dramatic effect, and the neck hair is flipped out in a soft curve. The texture makes the look edgy yet soft, capturing the essence of many new hairstyles this season. Feminine, bold, and powerful.
Frothy Treat
A haircut so light and short that you won’t even feel you have one! Designed for hot summer days or low-maintenance hair care, this adorable short hairstyle will make you stand out for any occasion.
In the photo, the textured layers are scrunched and ruffled during styling to create a charming flip at the tips and a surface full of movement. The same cut can also be dressed down, depending on the hair styling products and techniques used. Have fun with it!
Shaped and Contoured
Bruno Melgani dares to be bold and showcase his fashion taste with this dapper short men’s haircut, offering both easy maintenance and a great expression of style.
It features an asymmetrical shape when viewed from the front and superior cutting techniques that deliver a fine texture and meticulous outline. Melgani also integrates facial hair into the overall look, with sideburns and beard shaved to the same length and shape, creating a sharp outline.
Classic but New
The design of this male haircut artistically integrates the beard into the facial hair. Maintaining this neat and extremely attractive look will require regular trimming, but it is worth the effort.
The top features elements of a classic men’s cut with a side part, and the hair is slightly pomaded and slicked to the side and then back in a dynamic curve. The shine is a bonus. The contrast is in the sides, which are super short with a fine contour.
