How to Curate your Best 2025 Look
In this article, we'll discuss the trends for 2025 and go over exactly how to get your best look for this year. Are you ready to put your best self forward?
The Halo Effect
It's been proven that your image affects so many facets of your life. How you feel, your confidence level- even how others perceive you. Don't just take it from me, this is actually dubbed 'The Halo Effect'. According to researchers at the National Library of Medicine, those seen as more attractive are perceived to be more powerful, intelligent and competent. In fact, appearance can even predict criminal justice decisions- how wild is that?
Needless to say, your appearance matters. How you feel about yourself matters. Beyond the usual diet and exercise goals set for the New Year that will absolutely enhance your main character self, I'd like to place a focus on a category that I know best- hair.
Your hair is the accessory you never take off. It may sound cheesy, but it's true. It's important to choose a hair color and style that matches your inner self as well as stays current with the times (if thats your jam). We have all seen that '80s headshot on a real estate sign (*Insert cringe here*). Yes, it's time for that realtor to get a new headshot, but it's also time for a modern makeover!

2025 Hair Trends Loading...
The 2025 hair trends I see as most popular for this year are 'old money' cuts, smooth blowout styles with movement and natural-looking, highly blended and subtle colors. Glamour Magazine notes that bobs, textured waves and Sabrina Carpenter-esque fringe will continue to surge in popularity throughout this year.
Vogue's hair color trend forecast specifically mentions inspirations from celebrities like Lindsay Lohan, Rosie Huntington-Whitely and Lana Del Ray. I have seen an increase in clients embracing warmer, golden tones in the salon and switching over to a more natural looking bronde tone this season.
Whichever style and color you choose, my professional recommendation is to select within your seasonal palette. This is not a new theory, this is called seasonal color analysis (free one here!) and was brought to popularity in the 1980's. I would also recommend you choose within your styling and upkeep parameters. You can have the best cut and color in the world, but if you won't have time to style those new bangs each morning and can't touch up your roots each month- you need to choose a lower maintenance look.
Conclusion
The good news is, you are not in this alone. Your professional stylist should be able to help guide you towards what works best. Knowing your seasonal color analysis ahead of time, what your current getting ready routine is (It should probably include the Dyson Airwrap) and providing 2-3 inspiration images is a fabulous place to start your 2025 makeover!
