Which hair trend interests you?

(Denver Edition)

Let’s be real—hair trends can sometimes feel like food trends. One minute everyone’s obsessed with kale (remember that?), and the next it’s oat milk, matcha, or the Jennifer Aniston salad. Honestly, trends are all over the place—but I am so here for it.

If you’ve been scrolling TikTok or Pinterest lately, you’ve probably seen the rise of calico hair, color blocking, balayage, and bangs.

If you’re searching for the best Denver salon for balayage, trendy haircuts, or bold color, this is your sign.
(Oh, and if you like peeking at hair inspo—or my cat—come say hi on Instagram: @vshairdos).

Calico Hair: Not Just for Cats 🐾

Okay, my cat isn’t a calico, but look at how handsome he is anyway. Calico hair color is the purr-fect mix of warm blondes, coppers, and brunette/black tones that blend seamlessly. It can be bold and chunky or soft and natural, and honestly looks like autumn leaves had a baby with a sunset.

Want to try calico hair in Denver? I’ll create a customized blend that works with your skin tone, lifestyle, and vibe—whether you want subtle dimension or an extra bold look.

Color Blocking: The Return of Chunky but Chic

Remember those chunky highlights from middle school? Yeah—they’re back, but now they’re chic and intentional. Color blocking is all about big, bold sections of color that stand out in the right way. Think platinum panels against brunette, or a bold copper. Chef’s kiss.

If you’re searching for creative color in Denver or want a stylist who listens to your vision, color blocking is a perfect way to stand out. (And who knows—by the time you come to see me, I might have color blocking in my own hair too.)

Balayage: Still the Queen of Denver 👑

Some trends come and go, but balayage in Denver is still the move. Why? Because it gives you lived-in, effortless color that grows out beautifully.

And let’s be real—Denver life is full of mountain hikes, Red Rocks shows, and spontaneous weekend getaways. You don’t want to be chained to root touch-ups every 3 weeks. Balayage is the ultimate low-maintenance glam, perfect for my adventurous, last-minute-booking clients.

Bangs: A Lifestyle, Not a Phase ✂️

Ah, bangs. The ultimate hair trend that cycles back faster than your Spotify “On Repeat” playlist. Curtain bangs, bottleneck bangs, blunt bangs—whatever vibe you’re chasing, bangs are having a major moment (again).

If you’ve been Googling “should I get bangs in Denver,” consider this your official permission slip. Instant cheekbones, a touch of cool-girl energy— let's do ittt!
