Is Taylor Swift starting a new beauty trend?

This week in London, Taylor hosted a "haircut party" gathering friends like supermodel Cara Delevingne and singer Ellie Goulding to watch as she cut her hair into a new shoulder-length bob. All the fun was captured on Instagram.

Taylor posted an Instagram video, panning her phone around the room to show all of her entourage as they cheered and supported her big chop. Friends Delevingne and Goulding were also present to see the star go through her live makeover. Seems like Taylor can perform anything, even a haircut!

The star's fun idea, however, is already causing phones to ring off the hook at salons, as fans now want to recreate the fun Swift had changing her hair with all her friends around.

George the salon in Chicago is already seeing the 'Swift effect,' receiving calls from women asking if the salon can host a "haircut party" just for them.

"Sometimes big changes are difficult for us and the support of your friends and family makes it easier to go through a drastic cut," said George Gonzalez owner of George the salon. "Especially if you are nervous about a big length change, a haircut party is a great way to transition into your new style and have fun while doing it."

We tapped George the Salon for some ideas to keep in mind when thinking about having a haircut party. Here's what they had to say:

Tips for Hosting a Haircut Party

Give back. Connect your haircut party with a local charity and donate your hair.

Location, location location. Create a night out at the salon or ask your stylist if they travel off site for special occasions.

The more friends the better. Their support can be that extra push you need to go through with a big hair change.

Snap it. Share photos of your favorite cuts for feedback and style suggestions as you gear up for the chop.

Have fun with it. Bring some bubbly or wine to the salon for a new take on girl's night.
