Moriah Seabrook

Ever leave the salon thinking, “Wait… this isn’t what I asked for”? I’ve been there too—so I filmed this guide to make sure it never happens to you again. Today I’m showing you exactly how I talk to my own stylist (yep, even pros bring reference pics!) to nail those iconic ’90s Jennifer Aniston face-framing layers.

What you’ll learn
Photo Power: how to pick the right reference pic for your length and texture
My 4 go-to phrases that instantly click with any stylist—no more vague “just layers” requests
Chin vs. collarbone layers: choosing the starting point that flatters your face shape
Back-layer blueprint: when to keep the length solid and when to add movement for thick or thin hair
Blow-dry finish: my round-brush technique that pulls those layers forward for maximum drama
Show me your results!
