1) all presumably Japanese models, so you only see hair styles that are manageable with East Asian hair texture. Also, their facial structure much more closely resembles mine than the usual European models on English hair sites. :) 2) They divide it up into short, medium and long styles 3) Most of their styles, if you click the picture, offer a front shot, a side shot and a back shot
Since cutting hair is three-dimensional sculpting, the cut on the sides and back affect the look on the front. I've found that my stylist was quite pleased when I brought in shots from beauty-box, because as it was put:
"Asking a stylist to cut hair based on a picture from the front is kind of like asking a building to construct a house using only a picture of the front side. You can't tell what it's supposed to look like from the other sides."
I've gotten much more successful haircuts - in terms of them turning out like the picture - once I started bringing in the multi-sided shots from beauty-box. :)
