If you’re ready for spring and looking for some ideas for a new look, changing up your hairstyle with a new cut can give you just the change you need. Our stylists at Special FX Salon & Day Spa have tracked down some of the hottest hairstyles we are seeing going into the spring season. If you’re ready for a change, check out some of these edgy and beautiful hairstyles.

Textured Bob
This look is all about creating a balanced, flattering look all the way around. A textured bob uses the length of a bob cut in harmony with volume, blended together so that your hair is looking stunning in front and back. This is a great cut for finer hair that needs a volume boost. The dimension of this bob cut also makes colors show off better, with shades of creamy blonde and full-bodied red really shining through.

Contemporary Bowl
Yes, finally the bowl cut has made its comeback! By forgoing the actual bowl and allowing your Special FX stylist to complete this look, it’s a modern ultrachic style for spring! While this new modern bowl cut doesn’t work for everyone, we love this edgy look for anyone who wants a daring, modern look with the confidence to carry it off.

Asymmetrical Bob
The great thing about bobs, especially asymmetrical bobs, is that they look good on a variety of hair types and textures. The bob also gives you the freedom of versatility with many styling options. The asymmetrical bob is cut shorter in the back, leaving your hair longer in the front. For an edgier look, you can even do longer on one side than the other. If you’re looking for bolder hair colors, this bob can take on those bolder, solid colors, giving you the option to experiment with new colors as the weather gets warmer.

Mid-length Lob
It’s true, the lob isn’t a new cut, but it’s a great versatile cut that looks great with curls, straight hair, and will still go into a ponytail easily for a lot of easy variations to your hairstyle. Adding an overall bold shade of something like auburn, or giving your hair some highlights or lowlights, can really make this lob cut stand out and give it a look that is all you.

Modern Shag
This is named for the 70’s style that had us smacking our heads that it was ever a thing. This modern shag isn’t straight as it as in the 70’s – it’s all about texture. This new version gives you a more space for texture, which allows for modern styling that is sexy, strong, and flattering to a variety of face shapes. You can give the modern shag a try with or without a strong fringe, and it works for curly, straight, long, mid-length, or even short hair! Engaging your shag short cut with a nod to a mullet gives a versatile approach with feminine lines and softness. A long shag is for those of you who love long hair and lots of movement.

Mid-length Lob
It’s true, the lob isn’t a new cut, but it’s a great versatile cut that looks great with curls, straight hair, and will still go into a ponytail easily for a lot of easy variations to your hairstyle. Adding an overall bold shade of something like auburn, or giving your hair some highlights or lowlights, can really make this lob cut stand out and give it a look that is all you.

Long Layers
While many current trends are going shorter, there’s a group of us women who just want long, gorgeous hair. There’s a way to get both! If you don’t want to spend the time in the laborious process of growing out your hair, or want to try a mid-length lob with options, you can always get a little extra help from hair extensions. That way you can love your new hairstyle but also incorporate jaw-dropping length and layers in no time.

No matter what new hair cut you choose for spring, deep conditioning treatments are important to the health of your hair. We offer a deep conditioning treatment as an add-on while you are at the salon. Not only does it restore moisture to dry winter hair, but it also helps to improve the hair cuticle and gives your hair added strength where it’s needed most.
