The Sassoon Academy’s new hair collection, The Group, takes inspiration from J.D. Salinger’s iconic novel The Catcher in the Rye to create a space where Ivy League socialites meet the misfits of beat. Wholesome jocks and Vassar girls fit for a yacht in Hyannisport come together with rebellious karma bums.

Colors cover the spectrum of blonde from sun-kissed and sea-sprayed to down-and-out dirty; cuts veer from clean-cut barbered elegance to textured dishevelment with fins and feathers of off-beat disconnection.
