2025 Hair Trend Recap — The Looks We Loved in Brooklyn
Can you believe 2025 is already over?
This year was full of bold color changes, new cuts, and a lot of creative energy in the salon. At U&K Salon, we’ve seen so many transformations — from short bobs to flowing layers, glossy dark shades to bright pastels.
Before we head into 2026, here’s a look back at the top hair trends Brooklyn loved in 2025 — and some inspiration for your next appointment.
Top Hair Trends of 2025
The Bob That Never Quits
Short, sleek, textured, or French — the bob was everywhere.
It’s timeless, easy to style, and perfect for showing off natural shine or color.
Curtain Bangs & Soft Fringe
Still one of the most requested looks this year.
Curtain bangs frame the face beautifully and add just the right amount of movement without committing to a full fringe.
The Butterfly Cut
Layered, airy, and super flattering.
This “butterfly” shape gives volume around the crown and softness around the face — a major favorite for medium-to-long hair.
90’s Blowouts Are Back
Big hair made a comeback!
Voluminous, bouncy blowouts with that retro vibe had a huge moment this year — thanks to all the “clean girl meets glam girl” TikTok inspo.
Lived-In Layers & Effortless Texture
Brooklyn clients love that “undone but polished” feel.
Think subtle layers, natural waves, and texture that moves — the kind of hair that looks good even when you’re just grabbing coffee at Long Shadow or Windsor Coffee.
Color Trends We Loved
Natural Glow Tones: Mocha brown, warm honey, and champagne beige were huge this year — soft, low-maintenance, and flattering on everyone.
Balayage & Root Blends: Still a Brooklyn favorite. Adds dimension and keeps your grow-out effortless.
Healthy Shine: Gloss treatments, Milbon spa care, and HITA treatments were must-dos for keeping color fresh and hair smooth.
Pro Stylist Insight
The biggest theme of 2025 was personalization.
Everyone wanted hair that fits their own vibe — not just a trend.
At U&K Salon, we focused on customizing every cut and color to suit face shape, texture, and lifestyle.
Our advice for 2026?
Go for a style that feels authentically you.
It doesn’t have to be perfect — just wearable, healthy, and something that makes you feel confident when you walk out the door.
Looking Ahead to 2026
2025 was all about effortless movement and natural beauty.
And as we move into 2026, we’re excited to push creativity even further — new stylists, new techniques, and more ways to make you love your hair again.
Thank you for being part of our first full year in Brooklyn.
Here’s to even more great cuts, colors, and conversations in 2026 — from everyone at U&K Salon. ✂️💖
