Layers are officially back and better than ever this spring!
Okay, if we’re being totally honest… they never really went away. But one thing’s for sure, layers are one of the hottest hair trends right now.
Celebrities including Selena Gomez, Emily Ratajkowski, and Jennifer Aniston are all putting some bounce in their hair with stunning layers. Layers are a great haircut option for anyone looking to instantly add movement, texture, and dimension to their hair. By cutting slightly different lengths throughout your hair, you’ll get a gorgeous wispy effect that can range from a soft tousled wave to dramatic sweeping strands. Layers are also incredibly versatile and work on almost any length or type of hair. With so many stylish possibilities, we’ve put together a list of some of our favourite layer hairstyles for you to try at your next salon appointment.
Butterfly Haircut
This hairstyle gets its name from its beautifully unique shape. The combination of short face-framing layers with longer wispy layers towards the ends creates a fabulous butterfly-shaped cascading effect. It’s the perfect style to add movement and dimension to your hair in a way that feels incredibly trendy and playful.

Textured Razor Cut
Do you wish that you could create gorgeous beach waves on straight or thin hair? By using a razor or sheer to cut your layers, we can create ultra textured and tousled ends that look like natural waves you’d get after spending a day at the beach. With summer right around the corner, this is the perfect cut to try at your next appointment!

Modern Shag
Looking for a layered hairstyle that’s on the edgier side? The modern shag has been an incredibly popular haircut this past year, and we guarantee that will continue this summer. Inspired by rockstar mullets, face-framing bangs are cut to flow into choppy layers that create texture and intentional “shagginess” that looks absolutely gorgeous.

The Rachel
Anyone who’s watched Friends has wanted the “Rachel” haircut at some point in their lives. While the “Rachel” was the it haircut of the 90s, we’re seeing it make a comeback again today thanks to gen z’s love for nostalgia. The latest era of this hairstyle blends the round heart-shaped look from the 90s with the wispy face-framing curtain bangs of today. Could this look be any more trendy?!
