Staff Picks: Anne 22F16S8 Venice Blonde + Vivian 6F27 Caramel Ribbon 

Clean and sophisticated or stylish and undeniably cool, pixies will enhance natural features at any age. Anne and Vivian interpret this trend in two distinct ways, blending timeless shape with modern texture for a chic, confidence-boosting short style. 

Staff Picks: Aurora 8/32 Cocoa Twist + Angie 12FS12 Malibu Blonde

Defined and full of movement, natural curls are having a major moment, celebrated for their volume, texture, and unmistakable personality. Aurora and Angie bring this look to life, from Aurora’s bouncy, Heat-Friendly synthetic curls to Angie’s 50/50 Indian and Chinese human hair blend, which combines a natural S-wave texture with heat-styling durability. 

Staff Picks: Hollie FS6/30/27 Toffee Truffle + Maeve 12FS12 Malibu Blonde

Birkin bangs are a soft, wispy style inspired by French icon Jane Birkin. They’re typically long, lightly parted, and effortlessly frame the face for a chic, undone look. 

Soft and girl-next-door sweet, Birkin bangs are defined by their wispy fringe and relaxed, face-framing appeal. Maeve and Hollie embody this sweet, girl-next-door look beautifully: Maeve pairs breezy, mid-length waves with softly styled bangs for an undone, salon-fresh feel, while Hollie offers a shorter, shoulder-length take with subtle waves and airy fringe for everyday, understated beauty. 

 

Staff Picks: 6RH12 Espresso Latte + 8RH14 Mousse Cake

Cool brunette is trending, with deep browns and subtle ash undertones for a sophisticated, multidimensional look. Jon Renau’s 6RH12 Espresso Latte and 8RH14 Mousse Cake fit this modern shade perfectly. 

Staff Pick: FS2V/31V Chocolate Cherry 

Chocolate Cherry FS2V/31V adds a rich, playful twist to classic brunette, blending deep chocolate with vibrant cherry highlights for a multidimensional, eye-catching look. 

Staff Picks: 101/88/27S8 Catalina Blonde + Palm Springs Blonde FS17/101S18 

Icy blonde is cooling down the color scene, with shimmering, head-turning tones that feel fresh and modern. Jon Renau’s Catalina Blonde 101/88/27S8 and Palm Springs Blonde FS17/101S18 shades capture this chic, contemporary look. 

 

Staff Pick: Jon Renau Alternative Hair Care Products 

Yes, hair health is officially a trend in 2026, and major style authorities like Vogue are calling it out as a core part of the year’s aesthetic. Experts say the focus is shifting away from overly styled, high‑maintenance looks and toward hair that looks healthy, glossy, and polished; it’s a look that feels natural, fluid, and intentional rather than stiff or processed. 

Jon Renau’s New & Improved Care & Styling Products feature clean, conscious formulas designed to support your hair’s health - Your non-negotiables for beautiful, luscious strands. 

 

Hair accessories are no longer an afterthought in 2026. They’re a full‑on style statement, with trend reports calling out hair jewelry like bold barrettes, oversized claw clips, sculptural headbands, and metallic pins as must‑wear pieces this year. Accessories are transforming simple, easy styles and updo’s into intentional, fashion‑forward statements.
