Key Changes in the Hairstyling Industry

Lux Hair Bar • October 28, 2025

Everyone knows that fashion that’s popular one month can shift into something entirely new the next. The same can be said for changes in hairstyling. With so many people finding new ways to upgrade their locks, the changes might make your head spin! That’s why our experts at Lux Hair Bar have done their research to find emerging trends in the hairstyling industry. Here’s how hair is evolving with styling tools, products, fashion, and services:

Evolving Hair Technology

Hot tools have seen a huge shift over the last few years. For example, most modern flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers now come with temperature controls, ceramic coatings, and ionic, allowing for precise styling with less damage. Tools are also becoming multi-functional, meaning that some wands can create curls, waves, or even smooth finishes. As a result, we’re seeing an increase in haircuts that give our customers total control over their curls, straight strands, or beachy waves. If you're looking for a versatile hairstyle that can be styled with various tools, be sure to let our stylists know!

Fashion Influencing Hair Trends

Do you think fashion and hair are unrelated? They’re more connected than you think! Fashion is a pulse point for many trending hairstyles, thanks to fashion models and magazines showcasing hair that complements the aesthetic of an outfit. This has become further popularized by influencers doing “Get Ready with Me to Go To…” videos. This fashion content has heavily influenced some of our more popular hairstyles, such as edgy wolf cuts, '70s-style shags, ‘90s butterfly cuts, curtain bangs, modern pompadours, and more. Whether you want to be a trendsetter or try out a style you saw your favorite influencer try, we’re happy to bring your vision to life to match your style.

Products and Treatments Getting an Upgrade

Remember when we used to leave lemon juice in our hair to lighten it? Yeah, we can’t believe we did that either. Luckily, hair products, treatments, and our knowledge of both have greatly improved. The products used in modern salons have transformed to meet the requirements of every unique client and every hairstyle. Because of this, our clients are raising their standards for products, and we couldn’t be prouder. Clean, ethically sourced, and nourishing hair products are on the rise, alongside formulas engineered to reduce damage. Products are not just about making hair look good, but feel good. Ask our team about our full line of high-quality Aveda products!

Expanding Services for all Clients

Another wonderful change we’re seeing in the hairstyling industry is the increasing emphasis on consultations to find the right cut, products, and styling tools for every type of hair. This allows us to help you find a look you love and will feel confident in. From precise cuts to products for curly hair, we are here to provide you with the one-on-one attention, expert services, and advice you deserve.
