| Are you ready for a refresh? 2026 is officially the year of versatility. Whether you’re looking for a major chop or just want to breathe new life into your long locks, the latest trends are all about movement, customization, and hair that looks just as good air-dried as it does blown out. Here is what’s trending in the salon right now: 1. Short & Sculpted: The “Mini Bob” & The Bixie Short hair is having a massive moment, but it’s softer than in years past. The Mini Bob: A sharp, jaw-length cut with “invisible” internal layers to prevent it from looking boxy. It’s the “Old Money” aesthetic in a haircut. The Bixie: The perfect hybrid of a Bob and a Pixie. It offers the edginess of a crop with enough length to tuck behind your ears. BOOK THE BIXIE! 2. Mid-Length Magic: The “Non-Committal” Bob Not ready for a big chop? The Collarbone Lob is the most-requested length of the year. The Vibe: A strong perimeter at the collarbone that feels intentional and chic. The Modern Shag: Think “Wolf Cut” but more polished. It uses crown layering for lift and volume, making it the ultimate “cool girl” cut for all hair textures. BOOK THE BOB! 3. Long & Luxurious: Butterfly Cuts & Bombshell Shags For our long-hair lovers, 2026 is moving away from “just a trim” toward strategic, high-value layers. The Butterfly Cut: This viral favorite continues to dominate! It uses short face-framing layers to give you the illusion of a shorter cut in the front while keeping all your length in the back. The ’70s Bombshell Shag: Heavily inspired by Brigitte Bardot, this look features voluminous crown layers and effortless curtain bangs. BOOK THE BUTTERFLY!
