Hello!
We’re in a new quarter, which means it’s time for some fresh hair inspiration. This season is all about freshness. The first quarter of 2026 has been… well, it’s been something. So as we move into spring, here are a few of my recommendations for hairstyles and colors this season.
These suggestions are based purely on what I’m personally excited to see and create on my clients. This isn’t bible —you're always free to wear your hair however you like.
Short Styles
I’ll be honest—I’m a little over the two-block style for short hair. If you’re just discovering it, I’m sorry to say it’s actually been around for a long time. Longer hair on top just isn’t feeling as fresh right now.
Shorter styles are really having a moment. If you search Chinese men’s short hairstyles (below right), you’ll see a lot of beautiful cropped styles that feel modern and clean.
And honestly, if Tan France can switch up his look after 10 years and go for a short cropped style, I think you can too.
Short and Mid-Length Styles
Mid-length hair—somewhere between the collarbone and upper chest—is still very popular, and I’m happy to keep that going through spring and summer.
But here’s a challenge for those of you with longer hair: try blow-drying your hair more often. I’ll write more about this soon, but for now my mid-length clients can keep enjoying this easy, flattering length.
Long Styles
If you have long hair, my main encouragement is simple: come in for at least one haircut before summer.
Long layered styles are always on trend, but I know some of my long-haired clients haven’t visited in a while 😉
Color Trends
For men:
Let’s talk about eyebrows. Coloring your brows can add definition to your face without fully committing to coloring your hair. Shaping and slightly shading the brows can be a real game changer.
For longer styles:
Cool, ashy tones are officially out for now—let’s let them rest. With the current late ‘90s and early 2000s inspiration happening in fashion and beauty, warmer tones are coming back.
Think soft caramel brunettes and warm blondes that enhance your natural features.
Ashy tones had their moment around 2016. Maybe we’ll revisit them again in another 10 years.
