Holiday Cuts and Colors – Style Trends for the 2026 Holiday Season
Nov
As the 2026 holiday season begins, we’ll start seeing some new hair style and color trends with it. Typically, the winter months bring with them richer, cooler, and more vibrant tones and while this year is no exception, we’re also seeing a bit of warmth. Let’s take a look at some of what we’re seeing this year and what your clients may just ask for during this holiday season.
WARM BLENDED BLONDES
While we normally see lighter blonde shades during the winter months, we’re seeing a bit more warmth this year. Buttercream blends and honey kissed hues can give blondes something a bit different this holiday season and give them color that can turn heads.
DIMENSIONAL BRUNETTES
Brunettes tend to have more fun in the winter months, and adding more dimension to darker hair colors appears to be trending this holiday season. Layering subtle highlights and lowlights create a movement, shine, and natural glow that can brighten any room.
RICH REDS
Rich, coppery reds are in like pumpkin spice and can offer a nice change for someone looking to spice things up. Warm auburns, coppers, and gingers hues add a bit of color and richness to a room and can be a great look for the holiday season.
SOFT LAYERS
Gentle, flowing layers can complement anyone with longer or mid-length hair and can even give someone with shorter hair a natural, effortless style. Layers can add volume and movement and can be a great look for the holiday season.
CLASSIC BOBS
Bobs will likely never go out of style, and their versatility makes them a perfect fit for the 2026 holiday season. From shaggy bobs to luxe bobs to the classic curved bob, anyone can rock this look and enjoy something new or something tried-and-true.
LONG HAIRSTYLES
Long hair is incredibly versatile and can be styled in so many ways that it’s hard to go wrong. From butterfly layers to soft waves to simple and straight, anything can look fabulous this holiday season. If your client needs some added length you can reach for some extensions to help them live their holiday dreams.
