There’s something about warmer weather that makes you want to walk into the salon and say, “Take a little off — actually, take a lot off.” We get it. Spring has a way of making fresh starts feel necessary, and a great haircut is one of the best ways to welcome the season.
At Brieshi Salon and Spa, we spend a lot of time thinking about what works — not just what’s trending on social media, but what flatters real people living real lives in the Arkansas heat. Here’s what we’re excited about as we head into spring and summer.
The Soft Shag Is Still Going Strong (And We’re Not Mad About It)
The shag is sticking around, and honestly, we’re thrilled. But this time, it’s evolving into something a little more refined. Picture feathered layers, subtle texture through the ends, and curtain bangs that softly frame your face — without the need for a 45-minute morning routine.
This cut is particularly wonderful for anyone with naturally wavy or fine hair who wants movement without a lot of product. It works with your hair’s natural texture, which is a game-changer when humidity starts to kick in.
The Lived-In Lob
The long bob (aka lob) has been a salon staple for years, but this spring’s version feels a bit more effortless. We’re seeing lots of requests for soft, face-framing layers, slightly undone ends, and lengths that sit just below the collarbone. It’s polished enough for a night out but laid-back enough for a Saturday stroll around Pinnacle Hills Promenade.
If you’ve been on the fence about going shorter, the lob is a beautiful middle ground. It’s low-commitment in the best way — enough of a change to feel fresh, without the adjustment period of a true short cut.
The Textured Pixie and Short Bob Are Back in Conversation
Short hair is having a moment, and we’re here for it. The new take? It’s all about texture and softness, rather than sleek, structured lines. The modern pixie is more piece-y, a little undone, and incredibly chic. The short bob — whether blunt or slightly graduated — looks incredible with a little piece-y texture worked through the ends.
These cuts are ideal for Arkansas summers. You’ll be shocked at how refreshing it feels when those hot, humid days hit. And trust us, we hear clients every July saying, “I should’ve done this months ago.”
Curtain Bangs: Still Yes, But More Refined
Curtain bangs aren’t new news, but the way we’re cutting them has evolved. The focus now is on a softer, more grown-in look — less perfectly parted, more naturally swept. They blend beautifully into face-framing layers and work on almost every hair texture, as long as they’re cut correctly.
If you’ve been curious about bangs but nervous about the commitment, curtain bangs are one of the friendlier options. And our stylists are always honest with you about what will work best for your face shape and lifestyle.
A Word on Personalization
Here’s something we believe pretty firmly: the best haircut isn’t always the trendiest one — it’s the one that makes you feel like yourself, only better. Trends are a great starting point for a conversation, but your stylist’s job is to translate what’s happening in fashion into something that works for your face, your texture, and your actual morning routine.
That’s the kind of conversation we love having at Brieshi.
