When it comes to kid’s hair, sometimes it’s easy just to cut their hair at home if it’s a simple trim. But sometimes having a professional do the work is necessary and maybe a fun splurge or even a back-to-school look. Without being over the top, here are some cute inspirational cuts for kids that set the tone for a...
What’s more classic than some curls. This cutie looks ready for her first day back to school with her hair color and beautiful curls on point. It’s not too short but not super long either. This is a great look for any little girl. @impactbeauty_byshay
A simple bob is always in style. Sometimes a little girl just doesn’t want to fuss with long hair. With a one length pretty bob that’s curled at the end, this little girl is rockin’ it. It’s low maintenance, can be styled in various ways and shows off her youthful, feminine energy. @topnotchbeautycorner
Adorable, trendy and cute. This little girl has got it going on in a stylish, fun way. The small details like the gold crown trinkets and gold coil around the braid make any little girl look and feel like a princess. @definitionssalonspa
Say yes to the curtain bang. Simple curtain bangs that frame the face add some style and depth to long straight hair. Part the hair down the middle for curtain bangs or style them for a side swept bang with a side part to change it up. The curtain bang is versatile! @hairby_angelina_ine
This little girl is beyond her years with this asymmetrical bob that is to die for. And with straight one length bangs, her look is sassy and fun. It’s sure to catch a lot of adoring attention…from the parents. @balayagemary
A heavy chunky bang is always super cute on little girls. They can somehow pull it off much better than adults. Why is that? Combine it with some waves and you’ve got a feminine, sweet look. It’s easy to maintain and very versatile. @holykale.hair
Is she growing up too fast? This little girl looks like she has an adult haircut. With a cute French bob, highlights and slight wave, she’s letting everyone know she’s the queen of trending hair. Maybe not easy to maintain, but it sure is cute!
Doesn’t he look sweet? This gentleman’s…or should we say gentleboy’s haircut is clean, classic and tidy. It’s short on the sides with a little length on top and combed to the side. This little man is ready for school. @salonsuccess
This little guy is just cool. While it’s temporary, a little hair art shows off his creative side. This kid has great hair so having his hair very short on the sides but longer on top makes his look more edgy and stylish. It’s a bit higher maintenance, but it’s fun! @hairby.a.c.m
Can we say mullet? It’s not for every little boy, but they sure look cute with one, much cuter than adult males. This kind of cut looks best when the hair is naturally a bit textured. He’s pulls it off well. @xv.josh
How cute is this little boy? That smile is adorable and the precise and clean lines of his haircut are on point. The extra design at the top just set this hairstyle off. A bit high maintenance, but it’s mainly just the outlining that needs regular attention. @hairbiz.withizz
Scroll through all the images and you’ll see this haircut is more than it seems. At first it looks like a pompadour, but when you look at the back, it’s a whole other story. This look works well on a boy with a great head of hair. It’s edgy, relatively easy to maintain and stylish. @a1errthing
This little boy looks so happy and he should be! This haircut fits him perfectly. It’s clean and stylish at the same time. He definitely looks school ready with his perfectly razored outlined hairline and simple hair design in the back. @hairbyscheila
For a more tidy, classy look, try a side hard part. It’s easy for any barber to create with a razor and it gives an extra pop to any boy’s hairstyle. Comb the top of the hair to the opposite direction of the part and use a little product. He’s ready to go!View this post on InstagramA post shared by Port Saint Lucie Balayage , Hair Extensions Specialist (@hairbyscheila)

It seems 2023 is starting off with some fun looks. After a couple years of shagadelic haircuts and mullety styles, the trending looks are taking a more classic approach these days. While shags and mullets may have had their run, the bob is turning out to take centerfold. The great thing about a bob is that it’s so versatile. There...

Fourth of July is a holiday where we take a moment to celebrate our freedom. We should give thanks to our forefathers before us for the ability to live independently and free. Almost 250 years later, we are still celebrating this day which often comes in the form of parades, BBQs, weekend events, music and more! Like many other holidays,...
@jackieinmanhair uses extensions and color to create this cool fourth of July hairstyle. With horizontal tones of red and blue down platinum blonde hair, this is a great style for a fun weekend on the lake, at a concert or other event where you can let loose and just enjoy the sun and festivities.
@hairby_laine takes a stab at darker tones of red and blue on dark hair to give this rich independence day hairstyle. Curled for depth and added style, this look is great for someone who has naturally dark hair but wants fun colors.
@kissysbombshellbeauties creates a ‘look at me’ style that will turn heads. Bright red, white, and blue spikey hair on top, buzz cut on the sides and colored stars on the side scream fourth of July loud and clear. This look is great for true attention getters and those who love expressing themselves through their hair.View this post on InstagramA post shared by Kisandra/Hairstylist/Educator (@kissysbombshellbeauties)
@paintitblonde makes 4th of July romantic with this wavy long haired red, white and blue hairstyle. Keeping the blue at the front of the head gives the style a focal point. The red at the bottom half of the hair gives it a dramatic pop. The beautiful curls keep this look feminine and soft.
@mysalonsuite_southhillspgh makes braids fun when it comes to the fourth of July. Weaving in red, white and blue hair into three French braided sections, as well as some white ribbon, this is a cool hairstyle for an outdoor event, the beach or BBQ. It’s nice for those hot summer days when all you want to do is keep your hair out of your face and off your sticky back!View this post on InstagramA post shared by Private Luxury Salon Suites (@mysalonsuite_southhillspgh)
@samirasjewelry can we say gorgeous?! So romantic and yet requires no hair color or extensions or hair pieces. She creates a beautiful hairstyle that could even be wedding hair and simply places some red and blue flowers into the hair for that fourth of July touch.
@helmet_hair has this cute little boy smiling with this red, white and blue hairstyle. After the color has washed out, the hair can easily be buzz cut off to start a fresh new look. But for now, this 4th of July style will make him the talk of the party.
@studio226salonsuites designs a cute style for youthful girls incorporating a braid and pops of red, white and blue color into the hair as well as some star hair décor. It’s great for a parade, BBQ get togethers or a fun day with family and friends.
@shannyscissorhands has a similar look to @kissysbombshellbeauties except for the hair is much longer in the front and tapers off toward the back. The stars are a bit different but this has a more mohawk look that requires some serious dedication. @houseofhue_anahleejohnson might now have red or white in her hairstyle, but she incorporates a star hair design in this perfectly done undercut. It’s such a cool way to celebrate 4th of July in a different way. With curly blue hair on top, this style is a great summer short hair look. Unfortunately, this image couldn't be embedded so you can see the look here. Fourth of July is a time to celebrate our freedom and a declaration of independence dating all the way back to 1776. While the meaning is still the same, people use it as a time to express their own individuality and freedom to express themselves whether that be through hair, clothes, make-up or whatever else they feel suits them. If you’re looking for some fun 4th of July hair inspiration, this is a fun collection that should get your juices stirring! Happy fourth everyone and stay safe.

It’s wedding season and you know what that means? It’s all about the bride and groom, making their special day one to remember. For the bride, she wants it to be perfect, the perfect dress, shoes, makeup and of course hair. As a stylist, your job is to make her hair look beautiful so she can walk down that aisle...
Instead of building the focal point of the style on the top of the head, this one builds it to the back. Created by @salomemng, this style creates a structured knotted look. Like a defined pattern there’s something about this look that creates a sense of perfectionism. While not a curled look, it does give off a sense of curls with the big loops. Decorate it with a beautiful rhinestone accessory.
@dianaperaltamakeup created this sleek and seemingly simple updo. With a rhinestone headpiece, this look pairs up nicely with a sleek dress. Simple lines on the dress match the sophisticated aura of this hairstyle. While many bridal hairstyles feature large loose curls, this one is completely the opposite. Gorgeous and stylish, it’s a beautiful updo for a classy bride to be.
This style is similar in that the hair is brought to the lower back of the head. However, this updo by @lisamariehair__ has a more romantic, whimsical look and feel. Instead of the slick back hair around the head, the hair cascades to the back in defined curled strands. Floral accents are all the rage right now and fit nicely with romantic looks. In this case the baby’s breadth and the use of real flowers adds a more natural look to the style. With some dangling curled strands of hair in the front and back as well as loosely pinned up hair in the back, this makes for a nice hybrid between a structured and flowy look. Gorgeous!
A simpler look, this style is classy. Using the JATAI Teasing Pin Comb to achieve some of the internal volume, the hair is loosely tied back and pinned up in 3 horizontal sections. Add a piece of hair jewelry and you have this simple look that works with a variety of dress styles. Versatile and clean, it makes for a pretty bridal updo. Created by @hairbysaretta.
If you’re looking for an updo that is completely romantic and whimsical, this is it. @bridalhairbykatelyn uses big braids and loose flowing curls to create this look. Braids have been incorporated into bridal hairstyles for as long as bridal hair has been around. But these large braids are a more modern development that has changed the game for bridal hair. This look creates a lot more volume around the crown of the hair.
This last look before we head into the longer looks is a unique mohawk-like updo. While many brides might not consider this as the style they’d like, for some edgier brides, this could be of interest. Pining curled sections from the top of the head all the way down to the back of the head makes this style interesting, fun and daring. Pair it with some feminine pearls or hair jewelry and you’ve got this stunning look. This is another look from @lalasupdos
If you’re looking for longer bridal styles, this one by @hairbydanielletranter puts romance and femininity into play. Large curls that cascade down but pinned together makes this hairstyle sweet and soft. Floral accents don’t have to consist of real flowers. They can be artificial and still look great. Placing floral accents down the length of the hair adds another lovely touch.
Another long one, this one incorporates a big braid that goes down the length of the hair. With highlights in the hair, it makes this look feel more earthy and allows the braid to have more dimension. The hair jewelry that follows the path of the braid is a nice accent to this gorgeous style. This is another winner by @bridalhairbykatelyn!
For anyone looking for something different but want to keep the hair long, this beauty by @hairbysaretta takes a stab at long hair with flowers made out of hair. The three flowers that cascade down the hair is a unique and gorgeous look that any bride would love. The flowers are made out of braids and the whole look was created using the JATAI Teasing Pin Comb.
Lastly, another one by @bridalhairbykatelyn, this one is probably the simplest of all. This style uses the half up, half down look. It gives a boho vibe that is so popular right now. Light waves in the hair and the romantic topsy tail style makes this look attractive and sweet. She also uses extensions to achieve this look.
For more wedding hair inspo, check out each of these stylists and their updo looks. Wedding time is a beautiful time of year. We celebrate love and connection. Brides deserve their special day. Let’s give every bride the hair they will remember forever.

Can you believe it? It’s almost 2022! 2021 was a whirlwind of a year but it flew by in a blink of an eye. While we continued to battle the trials and tribulations of the pandemic and adjusted to a new normal, hair trends continued to evolve. Afterall, in a world where we feel little control over larger economic and...
But we will see a greater focus on shorter shags in 2022. Also, soft, piecey and layered, the short shag is fun, cute and spunky. With a slight curl or wave, the layers of a short shag give more volume to the hair but it’s less dramatic than the long shag.
Along, the lines of the short shag, the French bob, will continue to grow. The French bob has a more European look, hence ‘French.’ Shorter than a short shag, the French bob is generally above chin length and is paired with some sort of bangs (baby bangs, heavy bangs). It’s also somewhat curled or straight or sometimes curled at the ends. The French bob is a super cute haircut that can be sophisticated, playful and indie depending how it’s styled. Look for more French bobs come 2022.
The blunt bob will also trend in 2022. It’s low maintenance, sleek and simple. Thanks to Kourtney Kardashian, she has popularized this haircut lately. With either a hard part down the middle or to the side, the stick straight look is sexy and sophisticated. It’s a very precise cut best achieved with scissors. While it’s always been a classic bob cut, its ability to be glamourous and versatile is the draw to this haircut right now.
Lastly, how can we forget about the mullet. Who would have ever thought the mullet would come back in a big way? Well it has and it will continue to do so through 2022. But the mullet of today is not the same as the mullet of the past. Today’s mullets are more colorful and have greater variation. Some mullets are long, some are short, some have shaved sides and others don’t. The mullet has so much variety, it’s the spice of life right now in trending haircuts. It’s rebellious. It’s bold. It’s rocker. And people like this haircut because they get to express themselves in a cool and fun way. But one of the most unique things about this haircut is that it crosses genders. Both men and women have taken to this haircut in a big way. Androgynous hairstyles are a trend we will see more of in the future as gender lines continue to blur.
Speaking of expression, the other trendy haircut for 2022 may just be the shaved head with hair dye designs. With this hairstyle, you are sure to stand out and make a statement. Rebellious, the shaved head is being popularized by women with unique and creative designs made with hair dye. From animal print to bright colors to checkers, flames and flowers, the options are limitless. Not only is hair dye used to create a design but hair is also cut to create patterns within the hair.
We never truly know what will take off each year, but based on what we are seeing here at the end of 2021 we are going to expand on what’s already popular in 2021. Or perhaps you will create a new trend. Until then, enjoy the rest of the year and we look forward to seeing what 2022 brings to the hair industry.

The razor shag: quite simply one of the hottest haircuts of the year. It’s easy to understand the cut’s wide appeal: razor shags are insanely flattering and work on almost all hair textures and lengths. Today’s modern shag combines choppy ends, layers around the crown and loads of texture. Casual, messy and giving off that extremely-cool-without-trying vibe, the razor shag...

My way of interpreting coming trends is to look at what’s popular now and what’s on its way out for the next season. I think that Spring-Summer 2021 hair fashion will reflect the ‘opposite of now’ and bring us some beautiful natural transitions. There are certain basic looks that never seem to go out of style – they simply vary...
