Haircut Magic Reflector The Haircut Magic Reflector is a unique and innovative device that revolutionizes the way haircuts are done. This device uses advanced technology to provide an accurate and precise reflection of the client's desired haircut onto their head, allowing the hair stylist to create the perfect look. The magic reflector consists of a high-resolution camera and a projection screen. The camera captures the client's face and current hairstyle, and the screen projects an image of the desired hairstyle onto their head. This allows both the client and the stylist to see exactly how the haircut will look before any scissors or razors touch the hair. The magic reflector has many benefits for both clients and stylists.
“But then we started seeing all the TikTok videos that kids were making with it that were so insane and absurd,” Rattigan continued. “It was all very strange, but I guess this is why the song has 150 million streams on Spotify right now.”
The place holds so much musical history, from Jimi Hendrix building it to all the people like David Bowie or D Angelo having worked there and you can really feel that. Surf Curse and Rattigan s other project, the Secretly Canadian-signed Current Joys had a solid if still-underground career, releasing three albums, including 2019 s Heaven Surrounds You.
The magic reflector has many benefits for both clients and stylists. For clients, it eliminates the risk of getting a haircut they don't like. It can be frustrating and disappointing to get a haircut that doesn't meet their expectations.
In conversation with Surf Curse: Coconut water, „Magic Hour“ as an ode to rock music and other obsessions
My nervousness is met with the laid-back nature of the band members as they welcome me warmly. Nick Rattigan, singer as well as drummer and also the creative mind behind Current Joys, starts rambling about the bunk beds they just spend a slightly uncomfortable night in as we sit down. Simultaneously, Jacob Rubeck, who plays guitar and sings, tries to convince me of the coconut water he’s been drinking all morning (it’s better with ice cubes, apparently). The two build the core of Surf Curse, having known each other since middle school, and are now joined by bassist Henry Dillon and guitarist Noah Kohll. It’s not their first time in the German capital and they express their happiness about being here. ‚Berlin ist meine Lieblingsstadt!‘, Henry declares even. All that does not seem surprising when looking at the band’s discography, where one can find very new-wavey sounds and a song titled „Christine F“. Might there be a certain fascination with the city, especially in the 80ies? „Totally. But only from films. I guess there’s a nostalgia for these eras that can be romanticized and put into art.“, Nick says. And the name of the song? That missing letter in ‚Christiane‘ turned out to be a spelling mistake. „I remember we realized the day it was released… But it kind of americanizes it in a fun way now.“
Surf Curse performing the first foretaste of the new album:Pop culture references run through their work and their first single „Sugar“ from the upcoming record is no exception. However, this time they shift away from cinema. The accompanying video reconstructs a famous TV appearence of Joy Division and I’m curious about what this group means to them. „Normally we’re influenced by films, but the new album is all nods to the music that we love. Also the original idea for the clip comes from The Beatles, where it suddenly starts snowing on them while they play ‚Help‘. We thought that would be funny, to make a rip-off.“
That kind of leads me to one of my favorite questions to ask, which especially comes in handy as they can’t reveal too much about „Magic Hour“ yet: Which artists were they listening to on repeat while writing the album? After a short pause for thought, in unision they simply respond with ‚All of them!‘ and laugh. Nick recalls spending a whole day in the car with Henry going through the complete Dinosaur Jr. discography. Grateful Dead and The Rolling Stones are also mentioned. Yet they explain how the location where they made their own music influenced them the most. „We recorded at Electric Lady’s in New York. The place holds so much musical history, from Jimi Hendrix building it to all the people like David Bowie or D’Angelo having worked there and you can really feel that. It’s situated underwater, so when you’re down there, time literally stands still.“, Noah describes further. The record therefore functions as a collage of rock music from different decades, every song has a certain flavor to it.
Even though the sound of Surf Curse invites the listener to dance, the lyrics are often soaked in a bittersweet melancholy. „Sugar“ quite literally starts with the line ‚I look like shit but I feel even worse‘. I wonder if they think there’s some truth to this cliché of the sad artist who needs painful experiences to be creative. „I don’t like the pain but the pain comes to me.“, Nick says while giggling. „No but really, maybe there’s a subconscious, self-destructive part that invites it. Everyone’s my therapist and asks: ‚Are you just sad because you wanna get material to write?‘ The universe takes care of that itself, but pain in the end is good food for thought.“ Noah then opens up another perspective. „Also artists are just inherently emotional. That’s why they become artists because they don’t know how to deal with their emotions. Except by letting them out through what they make, you know.“
The sun must be in the zenith at this point. All the ice cubes in Jacob’s glass have vanished and I empty my water as I adress the song that changed the path of their career last year. Out of the blue, „Freaks“ started trending on TikTok and from then on Surf Curse suddenly wasn’t just a smaller indie project anymore. Is there only gratitude for the way the band got revealed to a wider audience or are they also somewhat tired of the focus on this particular track? „We are extremely grateful. It has transformed our lives in very drastic ways so we had the resources to experiment with our sound. Now when we play live, the people chant for ‚Freaks‘ and shortly you wonder: Are they just here for that? Yet the moment you see the crowd, you know they’re here for it all. They dance to the new songs just as much.“, Jacob sums up and drinks another sip of his coconut water.
The infamous song in question, first released in 2013:Performing live again and seeing others jump their feet sore to one’s work has been a relief to many musicians. The band got invited to several festivals back in the States before they arrived here, being able to be on the hugest stages they’ve ever played. Yet I ask myself if they prefer that over the intimate club shows that they’re used to. Once again, almost in sync, they disagree. „As fun as playing for a large audience is, there’s always a certain disconnection, you look into a sea of people. Yet when someone buys a ticket specifically for you, they come only to see you. Going on stage and noticing their faces, how they move, feels like a whole different experience.“ Lido later that day will be exactly that. The crowd is manageable but bursting with energy, from the second Nick begins to crush the drums to the very end. Heat fills every corner and they play „Freaks“ with the most heartwarming enthusiasm until the room vibrates. Surf Curse might have taken the world over a little more than a few years ago, but their shows still radiate the closeness, affection and sweat one looks for in indie-rocky club gigs.
Just a few hours before, I express the excitement I now have for the concert and ask them to fill the blank space we leave for the artists at the end of our interviews. „With this new record, the goal wasn’t only to make others dance or to write an earworm. We were a unit of people caring about the form it’s taking and the love being put into it. It’s so exciting to do something that is our ode to the music that we love and for each other. Should we leave it at that?“, Jacob says, looking around. „Keep on rockin‘ in the free world.“, Nick answers. I will certainly leave it at that.
Surf Curse’s new album „Magic Hour“ will be released on September 16th.

Reviews for "Styling Techniques for Haircut Magic Reflectors"
1. John - 1 star - I was highly disappointed with the Haircut magic reflector. The product claims to give you the perfect haircut every time, but that couldn't be further from the truth. The reflector was flimsy and kept slipping, making it nearly impossible to achieve even and accurate cuts. It was also difficult to position and adjust, resulting in an uneven and messy haircut. Save your money and avoid this product at all costs.
2. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Haircut magic reflector, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to its promises. The reflector itself is made of cheap plastic, which made it uncomfortable to use and caused it to break easily. Additionally, the instructions were unclear and confusing, making it even more difficult to use the product effectively. Overall, I found it to be a waste of money and wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable haircut tool.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I had such high expectations for the Haircut magic reflector, but it ended up being a major letdown. The reflector was difficult to attach and secure properly, resulting in a lot of frustration and wasted time. Furthermore, the angles and measurements on the reflector were not accurate, leading to an uneven haircut. I believe there are much better haircut tools available on the market, so I would advise against purchasing this one.
4. Alex - 1 star - I regret purchasing the Haircut magic reflector. It was incredibly flimsy and kept slipping off while I was trying to cut my own hair. The quality of the plastic is very poor, and I don't believe it will last for more than a couple of uses. Additionally, the reflector didn't provide clear guidelines or measurements, making it difficult to achieve the desired style or length. I would advise everyone to avoid this product and invest in a more reliable and durable haircut tool.
