Here are the six trends that are making their way to the top requested styles in salons across the country!

Color Me Crazy!

Think Pink’s famous pink mohawk! 2014 is the year for you to try that outrageous hair color you’ve always wanted. With society and the workplace becoming more and more open-minded to the way those chose to show their personality and style, fun colored hair is becoming increasingly popular. Take charge this year; show the world just how spunky & edgy you are with your favorite colored hair!

Braid it Your Way

We saw a huge increase in braided hair in 2013, including various different types of braids. This trend will become bigger than ever in 2014! With the help of YouTube tutorials and countless hours spent with trial and error, most have now mastered their favorite braid. This year will be spent showing off our acquired braiding skills! We even predict a few new types of braids entering the realm this year.

When in Doubt, Throw it Up!

Don’t fret this year when you’re having an awful hair day, instead just throw your hair up in an updo. The lived-in, organic undo’s with braids and textured hair is on the rise. A lot of women are going for the natural, toss up look.

Waves of a Mermaid

Waves have always been a top trending style, but this year the relaxed mermaid waves will be taking over. These waves portray an effortless yet glamorous look and are easily done. These waves will be a widely seen look for day and night girls on the go!

“Dapper” Looking Men!

Think Mad Men or The Great Gatsby. This 1920’s trend will be making a comeback this year. This look has so much to offer men who are in need of a new hair due. The “dapper”, clean, slicked-back hair gives the perfect touch of sexy yet elegant and professional. What man wouldn’t want to have hair like the greatest ladies man of all time, Gatsby?

Men Deserve a Little Pampering Too

There has been quite an increase in the amount of men that have started trading in their barbershops for full service salons to include other services in addition to their haircuts. Men have started getting manicures and eyebrow waxes while they’re at salons getting their hair styled. This trend will certainly reach new heights in 2014 as men start to realize the value and relaxation that getting pampered offers.
