Grant’s Long Hair to Wavy Curtain Haircut Transformation

Four months after his last visit, Grant came back to Sergio Slavnov’s studio ready for a bigger change. At 16, Grant had kept his hair long and even filmed a haircut tutorial with Sergio. Now 17 and preparing for a family wedding, he wanted to transform his shoulder-length hair into something shorter, polished, and still true to his natural texture.

Grant’s naturally blonde hair is especially striking—only about 2% of Americans are naturally blonde—and he wanted a top men’s hairstylist he could trust with such a significant change. Sergio transformed the long waves into a medium-length wavy curtain hairstyle, creating movement around the face while preserving enough length to showcase Grant’s texture and distinctive color.

For styling, Sergio used Avenue Man Curl Activating Spray to bring out the natural waves, add definition, and enhance movement without taking away from the relaxed character of the hairstyle. It’s one of the best men’s hair products for creating defined, natural-looking texture in wavy hair.

Recognized by many clients as one of the best men’s hairstylists in New York, Sergio specializes in medium-length and long men’s hair and transformational haircuts. His work has been featured in GQ, Vogue, Vanity Fair and on Times Square billboards, while The Washington Post called him the “Manhattan Men’s Hair Guru.”
