As a stylist with over 17 years of experience, I’m always watching what’s happening in the hair world – and 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years yet! This year, the focus is on movement, texture, and confidence. Whether you love classic shapes or want to experiment with something new, there’s a haircut for you.

Here are my top haircut trend predictions for 2025, straight from the salon floor:

⸻

🔥 1. The Soft Bob – A Chic Classic, Reinvented

This year’s bob is soft, full of texture, and beautifully natural. Gone are the razor-sharp lines – instead, we’re embracing movement and effortless shape. Whether worn sleek or tousled, this cut is perfect for anyone wanting a change without going too extreme.

✅ Perfect for fine to medium hair
💡 Bonus: It’s low maintenance and grows out really well!

⸻

💁‍♀️ 2. Long Layers with a Natural Flow

Long hair is still very much in, but 2025 brings a fresh twist with seamless, flowing layers that add shape and volume without sacrificing length. It’s ideal if you want to keep your hair long but give it more life and dimension.

🌟 Pair it with a soft face frame or curtain bangs for that effortlessly cool vibe
🌿 My go-to finishing touch: a nourishing gloss to boost shine and colour

⸻

🎯 3. The Mixie – Pixie Meets Mullet

The mixie cut is for the bold and stylish! It’s a modern hybrid of a short pixie and a mullet – giving you lots of character, shape, and versatility. This style is making a big comeback in 2025 and works beautifully with strong features or textured hair.

👑 It’s bold, playful, and very now
🎨 Love colour? This cut looks amazing with bold shades or fashion tones

⸻

✨ 4. French-Inspired Fringe

Fringes are back – but softer, wispier, and more wearable. The French fringe is my personal favourite this year. It gently frames the face and works well with many styles, from bobs to long layers.

💡 Want a subtle change without cutting your length? A fringe is a great start
📸 It’s also super photogenic – ideal for that casual Parisian vibe

⸻

🌀 5. Textured Shags – Curls, Volume & Edge

The shag is evolving. Think softer lines, more curl definition, and effortless volume. This trend is perfect for anyone with wavy or curly hair who wants a cut that celebrates their texture.

🔥 Great with a diffuser or air-dried styling
🧴 Works really well with in-salon treatments to keep curls hydrated and bouncy
