Hair Style Trends – Autumn/Winter 2024

Hair Style Trends – Autumn/Winter 2024

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0

Soft, rounded shapes, volume, and hair that looks messy–only the expert scissors of a professional will be able to achieve the next season’s trendy fashion cuts.

Every client has their own personality and would like their image in the mirror to reflect their character and shades or the latest fashion trends. In this Autumn/Winter season 2024, textures will dominate giving volume to scaled hair and bobs. There are no standard lengths: whether it’s short, medium, or long hair. The common denominator is the full body of the hair, combined with a fake messy and disheveled effect that, on the contrary, disguises high-end hairstyling.

If you want your clients to feel like real protagonists, discover with us the emerging trends from the runways and international stars.

Internal layering

A big trend among stars and models who love long hair is internal layering. This cut features invisible layering, which instead of being present on the outside of the hair, as is normally done, is performed on the inside or front area of the hair. The result? Voluminous, full, richly textured hair with a soft, natural effect.

Bobs for all tastes!

The success of the bob doesn’t stop. Loved by women of all ages for its versatility. It can satisfy any style desire, transforming from very short to shoulder-length. Shaggy Lob, Soft Curved, Textured, Mini Blunt, Cropped. For every client, there is a bob that best reflects their personality. The important thing is that it should be voluminous, soft, and disheveled.

Light, elastic, and vaporous bangs

Following the seasonal trend, bangs are also lightened in layers, leaving the front clearly visible. Curtain bangs – long or medium-long, framing the sides of the face, certainly remain among the most beloved. But the real novelty is the curly, vaporous, and elastic bangs, which enhance wavy and coily hair.

Pixie Cut

Very fashionable especially among famous faces who love short, impactful hair, the Pixie Cut look is achieved with clean, “chopped” cuts. For a result that is apparently do-it-yourself but instead hides the mastery of the professional and his scissors. It is a versatile haircut that adapts to the features and tastes of any client, with a messy effect styled to match the season’s trends.

Enhance your clients’ identity by helping your client choose the colour that best represents them. Everything is allowed for Autumn/Winter 2024 season!

Does your client desire a bright, characterful colour? Or do they prefer a more elegant and natural look? Allow them to choose what they like: this year’s winter season trends will have their colour desires as protagonists.

Now more than ever, in a thriving time for the beauty world where attention to one’s appearance has returned to the levels of the 1990s, it is people who create fashion, bringing out their own identity and style. This paradigm shift is also immediately noticeable in runways, magazines, and the looks of stars and influencers. Let’s see some details together!
 

Reds, Reds, Reds!

Among last season’s major players, the strong shades of bright reds, also featured in the new shades of the Incolor, continue to be protagonists. They are ideal for those who love strong, characterful looks and like to always be the centre of attention. There are many colouring systems and application techniques to choose from to harmonise the colour with the agreed cut shape… Choose the ones that best represent your client’s personality!

Zone or sectional colour

Create three-dimensional effects on the hair by overlaying different natural winter shades on top of each other for a totally customisable look.

This is a very versatile technique. Use it to achieve a gritty, impactful style, creating clearly visible colour disconnects between warm and cool, and dark and light colours. If, on the other hand, you want to achieve a more natural and elegant effect, the pattern of play between the disconnections will be less visible and softer.

The consultancy between the client and the colourist is always one of the most important moments of the whole service, to make appropriate evaluations and choices to fully meet the client’s wishes.

Insight Professional’s advice?
As an experienced colourist, it is important to listen to your client’s needs to create a look tailored to her that best represents her personality.

Greys, in their various shades, are especially recommended for cool complexions.

Vibrant Reds

Vibrant reds are bright shades loved by those who do not want to go unnoticed. They suit people with a dark base and a mix with violet tones intensifies the hair, giving a multi-dimensional effect even on short cuts. Nuances with a high concentration of red and violet pigments create a play of vivid shades in daylight, turning into a deep, soft red in the evening.

Apricot Shades

Inspired by the colours of nature, the apricot shade warms the hair, enriching it with brilliant nuances. The popular colour idea for anyone who loves glamorous and feminine looks; on long hair it gives a very romantic and elegant effect. Apricot is well suited to a light base and warm or neutral complexions. It also enhances light-coloured eyes.

Rose

Also known as Light Strawberry Hair, this pastel colour brings new life to blonde without disrupting it and is loved by pink fans who are not looking for shocking shades. A trend already launched by great style icons such as Katy Perry, Gigi Hadid, Nicole Kidman and Adele. It is a very delicate and feminine shade, inspired by make-up blush colours. Suitable for people starting with a light base, it is easy to wear and maintain at home, never gets tired and is suitable for all ages.

Salon Image Consultancy: Why it is Essential?

Salon Image Consultancy: Why it is Essential?

Why in-salon image consulting is a vital step and how to understand the client’s desires and evaluate together the shapes and proportions of face and body. For the hair and beauty industry the consultation is essential to achieving a positive and memorable visit with a client. It sets the tone for the client’s entire experience and helps to determine the trust level your client will have with you.

Before even getting started with the hair washing, it is a good practice to engage in an image consultation with the client. This will allow the professional to understand the client’s desires and expectations, and relate them to the shapes and colors of her face and body proportions. It is also a great way to gather further informations about who we are talking to, their habits, interests, lifestyle in general, and not least how they consider their hair and how they approach self-care. All of this informations prove invaluable in fine tuning our subsequent professional proposal, and increasing our chances of fulfilling our client’s request.

Communication: the first step

Good communication is an important part of any self-respecting relationship, including that between a hairdresser and his clients. Knowing what her expectations are, what colors she feels enhance her most, and how she feels most comfortable are questions that can disclose valuable informations before proceeding.

Skipping this step means risking to perform a cut and color that are technically perfect, but not what the client wanted, or feels most confident with. This is a classic hairdresser faux pas, which can lead to the client leaving the salon for good and resort to another hairdressers.

Another great way to understand the client’s desires is to look at a lookbook or reference images together, showing the style, cut or color she would like to achieve.

Practice observing

Before having the client put on the protective cape, it is important to observe her as a whole, to get a sense of her overall style, her demeanor and thus her personality. It is also very important to observe the hair in order to understand the treatments it has undergone, its texture, thickness, growth side, etc. All this informations must be taken into account when we propose a treatment or hair intervention to the client.

Clarity is fundamental

Once all this information has been acquired, we enter into the operational part of the consultation: the proposal of the look. When we explain to the client what we think would be ideal for her hair and her proportions, let’s make sure that our words are not misunderstood: requests such as “lighten”, or “warm color” or “even cut” are too vague and may not have the same meaning for us as for the client.

Once the request has been clarified, the advice is to repeat one last time what we are going to do and the look that will be created. This will be useful to detect any last-minute misunderstandings and avoid disappointment for both the client and the hairdresser.

Last tip? Prepare a personal card for each customer, on which to note the requests and the looks or treatments carried out each time, so as not to lose track of the history of the individual customers, and to better understand their desires.
