The wait is almost over! Temperatures are rising and the snow will slowly melt away. Spring is right around the corner. The start of a new season, along with the fact that our salons have re-opened to the public, means it’s a great time to try a new hairstyle or colour. 2020 was a year of bold and creative looks, and 2021 is no exception. Looking for something cool, contemporary, and playful? We’re predicting clients will be asking for these looks all season long.
70s Bangs
Celebrities like Hillary Duff and Jennifer Lopez have made 70s curtain bangs look cooler than ever! Instead of cutting full-on bangs, which can sometimes feel more dramatic, curtain bangs frame both sides of your face. This swooping style is incredibly versatile and makes any hair length, texture, or style look effortlessly polished.
Cropped Bobs
Flowing cropped cuts are totally trending this season! Based on your personal preference and the overall density of your hair, wavy bobs can be cut to the jaw or mid-neck level for striking results. Want to add a bit of drama and playfulness to this classic cut? Try an asymmetrical style that’s cut slightly shorter in length in the back .
Face Framing Streaks
Face framing highlights, also known as “money pieces”, were the go-to style of 2020. This still continues, only now we’re seeing more creative colours and pastels instead of blondes or browns. Want to really turn heads this spring? If you want to increase the high nature contrast of this look, you can also add a solid darker colour on the rest of your hair to make your colour pop even more.
Reverse Balayage
While balayage is all about subtly brightening the hair, reverse balayage actually does the opposite by adding dark colours and tones. This technique effectively works to lower the contrast between any highlights to actually help them stand out more. We’re expecting to see this style rein supreme this spring and beyond.
Fantasy Blue
A growing number of people are dying their locks in bright, bold colours that depart away from the every day. And while pastel pinks and rose golds may have been one of the top colour choices last year, 2021 is the year of blue – especially pastel blue. Pastel blue is a soft, lighter shade of blue. This colour can be beautifully applied to your whole head or in the form of balayages and money pieces.
