Jennifer Aniston’s “Everything Cut” Is the Best Summer Hair Inspo
Key Takeaways
- Jennifer Aniston’s long, layered haircut is the do-it-all look that everyone can appreciate this summer.
- Her longtime hairstylist, Chris McMillan, dubbed it an “everything haircut” and broke down its many selling points, including that it frames the face and is so easy to style.
- To get the look, ask for long blended layers with subtle face framing.
I know it’s hard to change the name of something when everyone is used to an old moniker. But at this point, does it really have to be called “The Rachel?” The cut is almost more synonymous with Jennifer Aniston herself than with Friends’ resident fashionista.
Whatever, though. I’d be a little more mad about this if Aniston hadn’t also popularized some other perfect hairstyles over the course of her career. Most recently, she’s been rocking an “Everything Cut” that’s poised to be this summer’s hottest hair inspiration—and will probably steal the show for generations to come.
Jennifer Aniston’s “Everything” Cut
The “Everything Cut” name and style comes from Aniston’s longtime hairstylist, Chris McMillan. (He also chopped The Rachel, by the way.) Perfectly low-key, the well-blended haircut ends a few inches past the collarbone, with the shortest face-framing layer coming in right past chin length.
“The EVERYTHING CUT!!!! Does EVERYTHING,” wrote the celebrity stylist in a recent Instagram post showing off a new Smartwater photoshoot that they collaborated on.

Some more selling points for the cut that he pointed out: it frames the face, effortlessly goes up and down, and you can style it with a blowout or let it dry naturally.
“The perfect cut for all hair types if you ask me,” he added. “Sexy and cute.”
What to Ask For
The world at large is quite familiar with McMillan, and I’m sure your hairstylist has been asked for a Jennifer Aniston-inspired cut a million times throughout their career. Thus, it shouldn’t be too hard to sell your vision. Ask for long blended layers with subtle face framing and make sure you can still throw your locks in a ponytail before going in with the scissors.

It’s always a great idea to bring in inspiration pictures (check out Smartwater’s Instagram feed for a bunch of options) and pair the cut with a sunny attitude, soft pink manicure, and hydrated skin.
Oh, Jennifer Aniston. You really are everything.
