Think back to all the times you've ever taken a chance at the hair salon. Was it the dead of winter or the middle of warm and sunny spring? If we had to guess, we bet you got bangs in March or chopped off your waist-long hair in April. There's just something about this season that makes you want to go to the salon and get a fresh new spring haircut.
And while we love switching things up just as much as the next girl, we know that you've gotta do your homework first. You don't want to march into the salon and tell the hairstylist to "do whatever you want." While we applaud that kind of laid back vibe, you won't be feeling so easygoing when you walk out of there looking like Kate Gosselin circa 2009.
So we've rounded up the seven freshest spring haircuts for 2013 that will make you want to mix up your routine and try something new. And we asked celebrity hairstylist Jonathan Antin (who's worked with Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, and Drew Barrymore, just to name a few), to weigh in on why these cuts are worth giving a try.
We've got long haircuts, pixie cuts, and all the in-between stuff. So keep clicking to find your perfect spring haircut and then bring the picture to your next salon appointment.

Karlie Kloss
The cut: Messy Bob
Why you should get it: Probably one of the freshest cuts of the moment, supermodel Karlie Kloss made the slightly messy bob hot for spring 2013. This hairstyle proves that an ultra-feminine cut doesn't have to be shoulder length or longer. "This cut is for women looking for something low-maintenance with a little edge. It's super sexy with a beachy vibe," says Antin.

Charlize Theron
The cut: Close Crop Pixie
Why you should get it: If you're looking to go short -- like, way short -- Charlize Theron's close cut crop is the perfect modern take on a '60s-inspired pixie cut. "It's a throwback to the Twiggy era," says Antin. "This works so well on Charlize because of her oval face shape and perfectly proportioned features. It's a very sophisticated cut."

Jessica Biel
The cut: Long '70s Glamour
Why you should get it: Jessica Biel's long waves and rounded bangs have a boho, 1970s vibe that has been all over the Fashion Week runways. "This style is all about looking young and staying young," says Antin. "Her bangs frame her eyes and her cheekbones, and they also cover any fine lines on the forehead. The long layers and shaggy bangs are a great way to feel slightly edgy without any of the fuss."

Marion Cotillard
The cut: Asymmetrical Lob
Why you should get it: The "lob" (aka "long bob") is gaining momentum and is perfect for spring 2013. The asymmetrical lob is a very polished, high-fashion cut -- perfect if you've got impeccable sartorial taste or you're just looking for something sleek and out-of-the-box. "This is a classic, Chanel runway-inspired cut," says Antin. "It's very flattering on the sophisticated working girl."
