Here are the top back-to-school hair trends for every age group—and how to make your salon visit count.

Fresh Looks for Kids

When it comes to kids’ haircuts, we know that comfort and low-maintenance are key. But that doesn’t mean they can’t look stylish too!

Trending Cuts for Kids:

  • Textured bobs: Easy to manage and cute for all ages
  • Mini shags: A little edge for growing personalities
  • Classic trims with soft layers: Keeps things tidy while adding a little movement

We also make sure the experience is fun! Our stylists are trained to work with kids of all ages and help them feel relaxed in the chair. Whether it’s their first cut or their back-to-school cleanup, we make it a great memory.

Stylish Teen Hairstyles

For teens, hair is all about self-expression. The beginning of the school year is a perfect time to try something new and showcase a fresh vibe. Our stylists keep up with TikTok and Instagram trends so your teen walks out loving their look.

Popular Teen Hairstyles:

  • Face-framing layers and curtain bangs
  • Textured pixie cuts or modern mullets
  • Long, blended layers with subtle highlights
  • Undercuts or side shaves for bold personalities

Whether it’s a major change or a subtle refresh, we’ll guide them through the best options for their face shape, lifestyle, and vibe.

Campus-Ready College Styles

Back-to-school season isn’t just for younger kids—college students need a confident look too! Heading into a new semester, internship, or job interview? A professional yet effortless style is a must.

Trendy Looks for College Students:

  • Blunt bobs or lobs: Sleek, low-maintenance, and modern
  • Air-dried waves with long layers
  • Soft balayage for dimension without daily styling
