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
