The last 6 months have been many things, a whirlwind of world events, cultural revolutions and a pandemic added to the mix. Any time there is so much change in such a short period, new trends emerge. Think of Ombre that emerged as a trend after the 2008 financial crisis ( lower maintenance color meant savings) or the Mullet that was a result of a stagflation economy in the early 70’s (men were saving $$$ by only getting half a haircut). Fast forward to today where the world is dealing with a pandemic and people would generally prefer to stay in the safety of their own homes.
No one particular trend has appeared as a result of current events but one constant we’re seeing is that women and men are opting for low maintenance looks.

Whether its a pixie that has a beautiful shape that can grow into itself:

To a one length Bob which can grow in for months without a trim:

Fall weather is in full effect. We’ve switched our iced coffees for the Philly favorite “PSL”, so why not do the same with your hair? The trends for this season will be shying away from all the icy colors and transitioning into fall with some warmer, darker tones. Think of all the colorful leaves falling on the ground with tones of gold, brown and red. Icy blonde girls will want to go for a more rooted and golden blonde color. Dark Blonde / light brunettes can deepen their tone to add more shine and warmth. You’ll be seeing more rich and chocolaty tones on Brunettes. Red Heads will pop with copper dimension or keep it subtle with the “natural” auburn look. Ask your stylist about which hue is best for you or virtually consult with us here.
This year, we’ve seen all the trends from Modern Shags to Bold Colors, but the one constant is the textured bob. This classic look is being rocked by most of the Hollywood elite from Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis, Cara Delevingne, Etc. If you’re looking to really change up your look; short and chic Pixie cuts are hot right now. You can always play it safe with textured layers and lived in Textured looks and and wearing your hair with it’s natural texuture is definitely trending.
