Trend Predictions ~ What to expect for 2026 

Callum the 'Hair King' has always been very creative, used to dress up in childhood and wear wigs. He began working in a salon and loved it. 

He was sent on a curly hair course and really enjoyed it, and specialises in curls.

Callum believes further education and keeping up to date with the latest trends & techniques is really important. We discuss why it's important to be able to meet the needs of your community and be able to service all of your clients.

Keeping up to date is key, and looking to the future helps to elevate your work, looking at trend predictions and what will come next helps you to keep ahead of the game and be prepared for what clients will come and ask for in the future. 

Callum shares the big trends that are emerging for the year ahead, including 'glossing' treatments, clients will be looking for their hair to be super shiny, the latest colour trends and pantones, and the potential problems this could cause for clients and stylists.

We look at why consumer education and critical thinking are key going forward, and the importance of seeking advice from qualified professionals, rather than influencers or tiktok trends.

Scalp care will also be a big focus in 2026, and so we need to make sure clients are getting safe and accurate information.
