2025 Mood Board

Here’s my mood board for 2025—though I might switch it up halfway through the year! Below the photo, I’ll explain each category and what I love about it.

This mood board is mainly for my clients with straight, fine hair, but it’s definitely not limited to just that. If you feel like your hair type isn’t represented, don’t worry—many of these looks can be adapted for all hair types!

Perms

Perms are finally getting some attention here in Minnesota! I’ve been perfecting my perming skills for two years now, waiting for people to ask for them—and now it’s happening! There are two types of perms: Cold Wave and Digital Perm. Both give you soft waves, but they’re done a little differently. Digital perms work best on hair that's longer than chin-length.

Mid-Length Styles

Mid-length hair is the trend for 2025 and will probably stay popular all year. A lot of clients who’ve had layered hair are now ready for a change—something shorter and fresher as they head into their next hair growth phase.

Shorter Styles

Short hair is for everyone! Whether you’re growing your hair out or just ready for a shorter cut, this look is great for both men and women. If you’ve got curly or wavy hair, a perm on a short style is a perfect match. Many of these short styles are trending with male clients—especially those who go for a low fade with a heavier top. This has been super popular with clients ages 17–22.

Layered Styles

There are two main types of layered cuts: long and short layers. Depending on the vibe you’re going for, you can pick either. Long layers usually start below the shoulders, while shorter layers begin above the shoulders.

Color Trends

More clients are going for light brown and cherry cola colors—perfect for brunettes who want something low-maintenance. For those who want a little more pop, visible highlights are trending for both blondes and brunettes. This style is huge in Korea and Japan right now, as well as in the street style scene, where mixing textures and colors creates a fun, bold look

Cut Your Hair Regularly
Cutting your hair twice a year can help prevent damage caused by ponytails, claw clips, and even moments when your hair gets tangled in a seatbelt or stuck in a zipper. Over time, your hair becomes stressed, which is normal, but it can lead to split ends, breakage, or even hair loss. Regular trims give your hair a fresh start, sealing split ends and preparing it for the next few months.

Hair Cutting Schedule:
Every 4-6 weeks: Maintain your current style.
Every 6-12 weeks: Maintain your style while being more budget-friendly.
Every 5-6 months: Allow your hair to grow longer while keeping it healthy.

Brush Your Hair
Leaving tangles and snarls in your hair can stress the strands, leading to breakage and weakened hair. A simple brushing routine, twice a day—once in the morning and once at night—will help keep your hair healthier and reduce the risk of damage.

Stop Sleeping with Wet Hair
Though I’m not a scientist, I’ve heard from many people who complain of oily hair or itchy scalps without any signs of dandruff. Often, the culprit is sleeping with wet hair. Your scalp nourishes your hair, and when it’s kept moist for extended periods, it doesn’t have the chance to breathe. This can weaken the hair, making it harder for it to grow long and shiny.

Take Your Vitamins
I’m not a medical professional, so it’s important to consult a doctor before adding any new vitamins to your routine. Personally, I take Vitamin D because I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my energy levels when I use it. As I have a Vitamin D deficiency, I need to supplement it to support my overall health. Vitamin D can also promote hair growth by helping follicles function properly. Additionally, I take a fish oil supplement to reduce scalp inflammation, which can damage hair follicles and contribute to hair loss. Omega-3s improve blood circulation to the scalp, providing hair follicles with the essential nutrients they need.

Hope this helps!
