New Year, New Hair Energy: Trends, Tips + Transformations for 2026
As we close out 2025, one thing is for sure—your hair deserves to enter the new year just as refreshed as you do. Whether you’re heading to a NYE party or just vibing with your 2026 glow up goals, now’s the perfect time to plan your next look, upgrade your hair routine, and treat yourself to a little self-care behind the chair.
Here’s your go-to guide to start the new year feeling fresh, confident, and so ready for what’s next.
🥂 Hair Inspo for NYE + Beyond
Need a last-minute look for that party or brunch? Try these simple but stunning styles:
Sleek low bun or twisted updo – Perfect with a bold lip or statement earrings
Defined, shiny curls – Use a diffuser and a lightweight oil for max definition and glow
High ponytail – A snatched go-to that works on every texture
Accessories – Think headbands, metallic clips, or a little bow moment 🎀
✨ Want to skip the prep and just show up cute? Our styling packages are perfect for a quick refresh.
Gift idea: Grab a blowout or curly style package for yourself or someone who could use a little glam in 2026.
🎯 Set Your Hair Goals for 2026
Just like hitting the gym or journaling more—your hair goals deserve some intention, too.
This is your sign to:
Book that transformational curly cut
Finally try the lived-in blonde you’ve been pinning
Refresh your extensions for the new year
Get a proper scalp detox or deep conditioning treatment
🖤 A new year doesn’t have to mean a big change. Sometimes a simple trim, tone, or treatment is all you need to feel brand new.
Small Shifts = Big Results
Want healthier, more manageable hair in 2026? Start with small upgrades:
✅ Add a gloss or toner to your next color for shine + tone
✅ Say yes to a treatment when your stylist recommends it (your curls will thank you)
✅ Upgrade your at-home care – Ask us what products to keep or toss in the new year
