Strategic Colour: Hair Contouring & Warm Tones
Colour in 2026 is all about smart placement and complexion-enhancing tones, with hair contouring leading the way. By placing lighter and deeper shades around the face, we can create a brightening, sculpted effect that looks fresh, modern, and low maintenance as it grows out.
Warm tones continue to dominate, and this year, reds are having a real moment. From soft, subtle warmth to bold statement shades, red hair is a standout trend, and one we absolutely love at Cutting Club.
Red Hair Trends We Love!
- Burnished copper for a polished, sophisticated red
- Flaming copper for a vibrant, head-turning finish
- Soft strawberry and copper blondes for a lighter, wearable warmth
- Deep auburns and rich red brunettes for glossy, dimensional depth
Red tones can be beautifully long-lasting with the right approach. Our colour specialists create custom hair colour formulations tailored to your skin tone, lifestyle, and desired maintenance level, so your shade feels personal and wearable.
We’re here to help you:
- Choose the right red for your complexion and lifestyle
- Prolong your colour with the right homecare and in-salon treatments
- Protect your hair with professional heat protection and conditioning services
Soft Fringes for a Flattering Finish
Fringes are softer and more blended in 2026, moving away from heavy, blunt cuts toward light, wispy, and face-framing styles. These softer fringes are designed to enhance your features while remaining easy to grow out and style.
Curtain fringes, airy wisps, and long blended fringes are particularly popular, adding interest without feeling high maintenance. To complete the look, many clients are pairing their fringe with bespoke colour techniques to enhance depth, dimension, and brightness around the face.
At Cutting Club, we offer expert hair colouring services, from subtle tonal enhancements to full transformations, so you can create a cohesive look that feels polished and personalised.
Effortless Mid-Length Cuts with Personality
Mid-length hair continues to dominate in 2026, offering the perfect balance between versatility and easy styling. Cuts in this length range feel softer and more lived-in, with layers added to enhance movement and texture.
One of the standout styles this year is the modern, layered bob - a relaxed evolution of the classic bob hair cut that feels contemporary and wearable. With subtle layers and a slightly undone finish, this look can be worn sleek, softly waved, or air-dried for a natural, effortless finish.
This style is ideal if you’re thinking about going shorter but still want flexibility in how you wear your hair. Our Cutting Club stylists can tailor the shape, length, and layering to suit your face shape, hair type, and lifestyle.
Big, Bouncy Blow-Dries
Yes! The blow-dry is officially back. Hair trends are all about big, bouncy, glossy hair with movement and longevity. This trend blends classic glamour with a modern, effortless finish, making it perfect for everyday wear and special occasions alike.
Today’s blow-dry isn’t stiff or overly styled. Instead, it’s soft, touchable, and full of body, with layers and face-framing sections enhancing natural movement. Whether you prefer a sleek, polished finish or loose, cascading waves, a professional blow-dry can instantly elevate your look.
At Cutting Club, our stylists tailor each blow-dry to your haircut, hair type, and personal style. We use professional techniques and products to build volume, enhance shine, and protect your hair from heat, ensuring your style looks beautiful and stays healthy.
From subtle lift at the roots to full-bodied glamour, a luxury blow-dry is the ultimate low-effort, high-impact way to refresh your look for 2026.
