You’ve probably seen it all over Instagram and TikTok…
The short haircut is back—but it’s not the blunt bob of five years ago. This summer’s short hair trend is softer, more textured, and still full of volume. Think shoulder-skimming lobs, chic cuts with movement, and that effortless “cool girl” energy your clients are craving.
But here’s the thing your clients aren’t saying out loud:
They want short hair—but they don’t want to sacrifice fullness.
That’s where you come in.
Why 14" ISLA Wefts Are the Upgrade Your Short-Haired Clients Need
Most stylists think of extensions as only for long hair transformations. But the most natural, seamless, and confidence-boosting uses of NBR® come in the 14-inch range.
Here’s why:
-
They add fullness and body to shorter styles without adding length
-
The shorter weft blends beautifully into chin-length to collarbone hair
-
Clients keep the trendy cut they love—with that touch of fullness that makes it feel expensive
It’s an easy yes for the client who’s not ready to commit to growing their hair out—but wants their style to pop.
How to Pitch It Confidently
Start with this language:
“This cut is so on-trend right now, but if we add a few 14-inch wefts, we can make it feel even more luxe and full without changing the length at all.”
Let them see the difference.
Use photos. Show a before-and-after of a bob with no extensions vs. a short cut with hidden fullness. It’s subtle—but it’s the kind of transformation that makes your work stand out.
And when your client walks out looking like they just stepped off a high-end editorial shoot?
That’s when they start sending referrals your way.
Bonus Tip: Style + Finish for Maximum Impact
Use a round brush blowout or a triple barrel wave to finish off short styles with volume. Then teach your client how to recreate it at home using the ISLA 3-Barrel Iron. It’s the perfect gift-with-install or a retail add-on that actually makes their morning routine easier.
Short hair doesn’t have to mean small impact.
With ISLA’s 14" wefts and a confident consultation, you can help your clients say yes to the cut—and yes to feeling amazing in it.
