TREND ALERT: Haircut Party

Taylor Swift made a big deal about her new hair cut, and people noticed! Hair cut parties are already being requested at salons just one day after Swift's big 'do to-do.
Jump on board by following quick tips to host a successful haircut party like T-Swift's, including tips from George the salon in Chicago:
Make a big change. No one wants to go to a public showing of someone having his or her bangs trimmed. Swift chopped off her gold locks for a dramatic new look (that kind of looks like Karlie Kloss; somebody had to say it). "Sometimes big changes are difficult for us, and the support of your friends and family makes it easier to go through a drastic cut," says George Gonzalez, owner of George the salon.
Give back. Gonzalez suggests connecting with a local charity and donating your hair.
Location, location, location. Create a night out at the salon or travel off-site for special occasions.
Make it fun! Obviously, not everyone is Taylor Swift, so most haircut parties probably won't occur after a concert in London. That doesn't mean parties can't feature music (Taylor Swift if you're feeling particularly inspired), refreshments and lots of pics on social media for encouragement and style suggestions.
Get a good crowd. Everyone was very enthusiastic at Swift's party, and we get it: She's Taylor Swift. But hair cut parties for less-famous individuals can be equally exciting with a decent amount of people who are looking forward to a good reveal. Plus, says Gonzalez, friends can give the extra push a client needs to go through with a big change.
Seven-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift concluded the European leg of her RED tour with her 5th sold-out show at London's O2 Arena, playing to a capacity crowd of more than 15500 fans on February 11, 2014 in London, England. (Photo by Dave Hogan/TAS/Getty Images for TAS)
