The Raddest Fall Haircut Trends From L.A.’s Top Stylists

We doubt you need much convincing that it's almost time for a fresh fall chop. Not only does a new cut perfectly mark the change of seasons, but it's also completely necessary after a long summer of strand-damaging salt, sun, and chlorine.

As far as inspiration goes, we've discovered a few key haircuts coming out of L.A.'s top salons that are modern, beautiful, and — to put it plainly — really cool. This season is all about mid-length (no more boring reputation for this one) bobs, lobs, bangs, and choppy layers galore — particularly the longer in the front, shorter in the back A-line cut.

The only caveat? These looks are a little tricky to explain, so you'll need to bring in a photo (or this story) cued up on your phone. "Not everyone speaks the same, but everyone can see the same," says hairstylist Riawna Capri, co-owner of the Nine Zero One Salon.

Ahead, all the eye candy you'll need to score the perfect chop for fall.
