2020 Hair Goals: Fresh Starts and Bold New Looks
A new year always brings that irresistible urge to change something about yourself, and for many of us, hair is the first thing on the list. There is something powerful about starting a fresh decade with a fresh look, and 2020 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years for hair in recent memory. At Sofia Loren Salon in Boca Raton, we have been studying the trends, attending education events, and preparing to help our clients step into this new chapter looking absolutely incredible.
The Trends Setting the Tone for 2020
This year is all about embracing individuality. Gone are the days when everyone wanted the exact same Pinterest-perfect balayage. In 2020, the trend is making a look your own. We are seeing a massive surge in customized color, where stylists blend techniques to create something completely unique to each client. Think warm caramel tones melted into a rich brunette base, or cool ash blonde with strategically placed face-framing highlights that brighten your entire complexion.
On the cutting side, the classic bob is making a major comeback, but with modern updates. The French bob, sitting just at chin length with soft texture and a slight bend at the ends, is one of the most requested cuts heading into the new year. It works beautifully on straight, wavy, and curly hair alike, and it is incredibly flattering on a range of face shapes. For those who prefer to keep their length, long layers with curtain bangs are dominating the style landscape.
Setting Realistic Hair Goals
One of the most common conversations we have with clients in January is about hair goals that actually make sense. It is easy to get swept up in the excitement of a new year and want to go from jet black to platinum blonde in a single session, but real hair transformations take planning. At Sofia Loren Salon, we believe in setting goals that are ambitious but healthy for your hair.
If your goal is a dramatic color change, we will map out a timeline that gets you there without sacrificing the integrity of your strands. If you want to grow your hair out, we will create a trim schedule and recommend products that support length retention. If you have always wanted to try extensions, we will walk you through the different methods and help you choose the one that fits your lifestyle and budget. The key is having a plan, and that starts with an honest consultation.
Bold Color Predictions for the Year
Color-wise, 2020 is bringing warmth back in a big way. After years of cool-toned blondes and icy silvers dominating social media, we are seeing a shift toward richer, warmer palettes. Honey blonde, golden copper, and warm chestnut are going to be everywhere this year. These tones are particularly stunning on women living in South Florida because they complement sun-kissed skin beautifully.
For clients who want something a little more adventurous, dusty rose and soft lavender are continuing to gain popularity. These shades can be done subtly, woven into the ends of blonde hair for a barely-there effect, or they can be the main event. The beauty of these fashion colors is that modern formulations allow us to create them with far less damage than was possible even a few years ago.
Healthy Hair First
No matter what style or color you are chasing, the foundation of great hair is always health. Living in Boca Raton means your hair faces unique challenges year-round. The Florida sun, salt air, and humidity are constantly working against your strands, and if your hair is not properly nourished, even the best color or cut will fall flat.
This year, we are encouraging all our clients to invest in a solid at-home care routine. That means using a sulfate-free shampoo, conditioning every single time you wash, and incorporating a deep treatment at least once a week. For our color clients, a quality leave-in conditioner with UV protection is non-negotiable in South Florida. We carry professional lines at the salon that are specifically formulated to protect against environmental damage, and our stylists are always happy to help you build a customized routine.
New Year, New Salon Experience
At Sofia Loren Salon, we have been making some exciting updates heading into 2020. We are expanding our service menu, bringing in new professional product lines, and continuing to invest in education so our team stays at the cutting edge of the industry. Whether you are a longtime client or you have been thinking about trying us for the first time, this is the year to do it.
We are also launching new loyalty rewards for our regular clients, because we believe that the people who trust us with their hair month after month deserve something special in return. Ask about our referral program too. When you send a friend our way, both of you benefit.
Making It Happen
The difference between a hair goal and a hair reality is action. It is easy to save inspiration photos on your phone and tell yourself you will get around to it eventually. But the best time to start is now, at the beginning of a brand new year. Whether your 2020 hair goal is a subtle refresh or a complete transformation, the first step is the same: book a consultation and talk to a professional who can help you create a plan.
Bring your inspiration photos, your questions, and your excitement. We will handle the rest. Our stylists love nothing more than helping someone discover a look that makes them feel confident and beautiful, and we have the skills and experience to make it happen.
