Hair Trends I Love (and the Ones I Think Will Last)

Every year, new hair trends appear on social media. Some disappear just as quickly, while others become timeless classics

Every year, new hair trends appear on social media. Some disappear just as quickly, while others become timeless classics.

As a hairstylist, I don't believe every trend works for every person. The best haircut or hair color isn't simply what's popular—it's what complements your face shape, hair texture, skin tone, lifestyle, and maintenance goals.

Here are some of the trends I continue to love because they can be customized for each individual.

Soft, Face-Framing Layers

Face-framing layers continue to be one of my favorite ways to soften a haircut and highlight your features. When designed correctly, they can add movement without sacrificing fullness.

Rich, Dimensional Brunettes

Beautiful brunette hair isn't one flat color. Adding depth with subtle dimension creates richness, shine, and natural movement while keeping the color low maintenance.

Natural-Looking Highlights

Instead of bold stripes, many clients are choosing soft, blended highlights that brighten the face while growing out gracefully. This creates a natural, sun-kissed effect that doesn't require constant maintenance.

Healthy, Shiny Hair Never Goes Out of Style

The biggest trend I continue to see isn't a haircut or a color—it's healthy hair.

Beautiful color starts with healthy hair, which is why I focus on preserving the integrity of your hair while creating a custom color that's designed specifically for you.

Gray Coverage That Looks Natural

More women are choosing gray coverage that doesn't look overly dark or flat. Strategic color placement and customized formulas can create soft, natural-looking results that complement your skin tone and lifestyle.

Trends Come and Go. Great Hair Design Lasts.

While it's fun to be inspired by the latest styles, I believe the best hair is never about copying someone else.

Every haircut and every color should be thoughtfully designed around you.

Your face shape.

Your hair texture.

Your skin tone.

Your maintenance goals.

That's how beautiful hair lasts long after the latest trend has passed.
