New Year, New Hair: Top Hair Trends We’re Loving for 2026
A new year is the perfect time for a fresh start and nothing feels more transformative than great hair. As we step into 2026, we’re seeing hair trends that focus on effortless beauty, healthy hair, and personalized style. At Breeze Salon + Spa, our Aveda-trained stylists across Georgetown, Cedar Park, and Round Rock are already bringing these looks to life every day.
Here are the top hair trends for 2026 we’re loving and why they’re perfect for starting the year feeling confident and refreshed.
Lived-In Color: Effortless, Low-Maintenance Beauty
Lived-in color continues to reign in 2026 and for good reason. This technique focuses on soft dimension, seamless blends, and natural grow-out, making it ideal for guests who want beautiful color without constant upkeep.
From sun-kissed blondes to warm brunettes, lived-in color allows for customized placement that enhances your natural hair while maintaining hair health. Our stylists specialize in custom balayage, highlights, glossing services, and dimensional color using Aveda’s plant-powered color line to deliver shine and longevity.
Perfect for busy schedules, lived-in color is a favorite at all three of our North Austin salon locations.
Modern Cuts with Movement
In 2026, haircuts are all about movement, texture, and versatility. Think soft layers, blunt ends with polish, and shapes that grow out beautifully.
Whether you’re craving a chic bob, long layers, or a fresh trim that enhances your natural texture, our haircut services are always paired with a thorough consultation. We focus on creating styles that fit your lifestyle, hair type, and maintenance preferences because the best haircut is one that works for you.
Curtain Bangs Are Here to Stay
Curtain bangs continue to be one of the most requested trends going into the new year. They’re flattering, customizable, and a great way to change up your look without a dramatic chop.
From soft and wispy to bold and face-framing, curtain bangs can be tailored to enhance your facial features and blend seamlessly into your haircut. Our stylists will help determine the best length and shape based on your face shape, hair texture, and daily styling routine.
Glossy Brunettes & Rich Tones
Glossy brunettes are having a major moment in 2026. Think rich chocolates, warm caramels, and dimensional espresso tones that reflect light beautifully.
Glossing services are key to this trend enhancing shine, refreshing tone, and maintaining hair health between color appointments. Using Aveda shine and deep conditioning treatments, will help brunettes achieve depth, vibrancy, and long-lasting results without unnecessary damage.
Healthy Hair Is Always in Style
No trend matters without healthy hair. This year, guests are prioritizing hair treatments, scalp care, and bond-building services to support long-term hair goals.
At Breeze Salon + Spa, we offer customized Aveda treatments, including hydration, repair, and scalp solutions, designed to strengthen hair from the inside out. Healthy hair is the foundation for every great cut and color and it’s always on trend.
