Step into 2025 with confidence and style. ✂️✨ From soft structure cuts to luxurious gloss finishes, discover the latest looks redefining modern hair fashion — only at Lazarou Hair Salons , Cardiff’s trendsetters in hair and barbering. As the new year unfolds, the world of hairdressing is buzzing with creativity and reinvention. At Lazarou Hair Salons , we’ve always been ahead of the curve — combining decades of experience with the latest global trends. From bold colours to timeless shapes, 2025 is all about personal expression, low-maintenance glamour, and healthy, natural hair . Whether you’re looking for a fresh haircut, a new colour, or simply some style inspiration, our expert stylists and barbers across Cardiff and South Wales  are here to help you make 2025 your best hair year yet. 💇‍♀️ 1. The “Soft Structure” Haircut Hair Trends 2025 Precision meets softness. 2025 is all about natural movement and wearable layers  — cuts that frame the face but flow effortlessly. Think modern bobs with curved ends, long layers with invisible texture, and natural waves enhanced with a light gloss finish. At Lazarou Cardiff Castle  and our other branches, our stylists use advanced cutting techniques to enhance your unique bone structure, hair density, and lifestyle — because great hair starts with a tailored cut. Trending styles: The Sculpted Bob  — a nod to the ’90s with a soft, feminine twist. Airy Layers  — long hair that moves with body and shine. Butterfly Cuts  — versatile, flattering layers that frame the face beautifully. 🌈 2. Colour Trends: “Quiet Luxury” Meets “Bold Statements” 2025 is the year of contrast — understated tones with high-impact shine , or expressive colours done tastefully . Natural tones like buttery blonde , chestnut brunette , and smoky copper  dominate the trend charts, but they’re refined with modern glossing techniques that bring out depth and dimension. For those feeling adventurous, strategic colour blocking , peekaboo pastels , and liquid chrome finishes  are set to make waves. Our top colour trends for 2025: Expensive Brunette  — rich, multi-dimensional browns that look healthy and luxe. Peach Blonde  — soft, warm tones that flatter every complexion. Muted Copper  — subtle yet vibrant, perfect for anyone craving warmth. Glossed Neutrals  — personalised glosses that elevate your natural tone. 💡 Ask your colourist about our bond-repair and gloss services to keep your colour radiant and hair healthy all year long. 🧴 3. The Rise of “Hair Health First” Healthy hair is the ultimate trend in 2025. More clients are focusing on scalp care, hydration, and damage prevention  rather than quick fixes. Treatments that strengthen the inner hair structure — such as Olaplex , K18 , or bespoke Lazarou in-salon rituals  — are becoming essentials, not luxuries. Our salons offer tailored hair health consultations  to assess your scalp, hair texture, and care routine. The goal? Shiny, strong, touchable hair that looks good even on “off” days. ✂️ 4. Men’s Trends: Effortless Precision For men, 2025 brings a blend of classic precision and natural finish . Barbering is becoming more refined — with clean fades, textured crops, and mid-length styles taking centre stage. The Lazarou Barbers  across Cardiff and South Wales are known for their sharp attention to detail and ability to tailor every cut to suit the client’s face shape and lifestyle. Trending men’s looks: Textured Crop 2.0  — a versatile, low-maintenance favourite. Modern Pompadour  — sleek yet casual with a matte finish. Mid-Length Waves  — easy-going and perfect for that effortless, confident look. 💫 5. Styling & Finishing: Gloss, Movement & Effortless Texture Say goodbye to stiff styles — 2025 is about movement and natural shine . Lightweight oils, heatless styling, and air-dried finishes are replacing heavy hairsprays and over-styled curls. Pro tip from our stylists:  embrace your natural texture. Our team can teach you how to style your hair using minimal heat while keeping it frizz-free and full of body. 🌿 6. Sustainable Beauty & Conscious Choices At Lazarou Hair Salons , we’re committed to more than great hair — we’re also proud supporters of eco-friendly and cruelty-free salon practices .

Happy Friday everyone! Itchy fingers, a bold moment, a quick decision and voilà, you end up with a brand-new box dye hair colour. It might seem as a quick and easy fix from your local drug store, but box dye is harmful to your hair when all we want is glossy, shiny and healthy hair strands. It might not come as a surprise to you: Stylists and box dye don´t go well together, some stylists even say that box dye comes at a price. We are all for DIY and expressing your full creativity, but your hair´s health is simply more important. Plus, once you invest time, effort and money in your hair, let´s make sure you get the best possible result. Why is Box Dye bad for your hair? (1) Its Ingredients: A mix of harsh, unknown and hard-to-pronounce chemicals are the main reason to shy away from box colour. These chemicals are extremely damaging, change your hair shaft, leaving it dry and porous. Sometimes they might even irritate your scalp. The highlight of it all: Especially high ratios of ammonia can cause allergic reactions. To some degree ammonia is also part of salon-grade colours but that's why patch testing is so important! Recent pastel hair colour trends might draw you to box dye that promises to lighten or even to bleach your hair. These kits are very aggressive, they strip away the protective layer of your hair shaft, expose and weaken it. Bleaching your hair at home is very damaging, risky and we strictly advise against it! (2) Standard colours Box dyes are (harshly) formulated to work on a broad range of hair, not taking into account your individual hair structure, type, colour, your hair´s history, its general health or current condition. Usually there is no option to change their pigmentation, so you get what you see on the box - or at least sometimes, which brings us to the next point: (3) Uneven application - be prepared to be surprised To a non-trained eye it is very difficult to see when the hair is saturated with colour. Too much product and overprocessing (leaving the colour on for too long) can lead to dull, damaged and porous hair. Your hair's texture will also determine how even the application will be. (4) Build-up Think of box dye colours as a coat around your hair shaft, which can only be removed by chopping it off - long roots & pixie cut, hello! The more often you apply it, the thicker the layer (i.e. the build-up) and the more damage to your hair. When reapplying box colour, you can also end up with different shades of the colour, as you will reapply the colour on some parts but apply it for the first time on the regrowth of your hair. Your hair, and your hair colour is as individual as you are - so give it the treatment it deserves: When deciding on the right colour shade licensed professionals consider your hair type, your virgin hair colour, possible former hair colours, your hair's condition and overall health, the degree of aftercare, your lifestyle and many more factors. Plus, our stylists are trained and experienced in applying and mixing the colour to create the right degree of colour saturation and protection for your hair. Sometimes it might also take multiple sittings to achieve your ideal hair colour shade, that´s why we always talk about a hair (colour) journey! In case a box dye project went south for you, a colour correction is what you and your hair need: Colour Corrections: From Box Dye to Balayage Our client Louise came to our salon with a mix of hair colours, green box dye and long roots growing in. After an initial consultation, our colour director Rachel mixed different formulas taking into consideration Louise´s hair history, the hair´s current condition and the desired outcome and transformed Louise´s hair i nto a full-head balayage in purple tones . She used a vibrant purple from Goldwell 's Elumen Play Colour range and conditioning treatments to restore the hair's health . The result is a fun, trendy and low maintenance look. Here is a before & after: Do you have any questions left? Please reach out to us anytime! Or in case you can relate and would like to start your own hair journey, we'd love to help ! You can book a free consultation with one of our stylists now and start your hair journey tomorrow! We cannot wait to see you!

Happy Friday everyone! You might have seen it on our Instagram or Facebook feed already, Money Pieces officially found their way into our salon (trend alert!). Traditionally hidden as face frames within a balayage service, money pieces became a trend at the end of 2019 when Beyoncé introduced the look to the wider public. A few months later, we know: Money Pieces are here to stay! A splash of light A Money Piece is a lighter hair section around your front hairline, typically starting at the roots all the way to the ends of the hair strand. It accentuates your hair colour, draws attention to your face and enhances your facial features.  Versatile look & easy to maintain  Money Pieces are a bright addition to any base colour, they are a touch of colour without going full-on hair dye. The hairstyle is incredibly versatile, the colour choices endless and really up to personal preference: From a more subtle colour shade in line with the rest of your hair colour to an edgier bold statement colour contrasting to the rest of your hair. What is the difference between a Money Piece and Face Frame? Usually a face frame is used in combination with a balayage and blends in nicely with the rest of your hair colour/highlights. It is usually 2-3 shades lighter than your base colour, so it creates the right degree of contrast and lightening to your hair colour.  Money Pieces can be more of a stand-alone colour statement. Here are a few inspirations for this very flattering, low maintenance look: From top left to bottom right: (1) Bleach Blonde Money Piece (2) Warm Blonde Money Piece (3) Face Frame & Half-Head Balayage (4) Face Frame & Half-Head Balayage Did you find a style you like? Great, let´s bring that sun-kissed look into the next season.  Here is how you need to book the Money Piece service: (1) Select “Money Piece” on our online Booking system (2) Add a "Toner" (3) Choose your finish: Fancy a bouncy blow dry or fresh trim, no problem! We cannot wait to see you and try this trend look on your hair!

It is the beginning of a new season, so it's time to take a look at the latest hair trends that are sweeping the hair industry. Andreas Lazarou – managing director of Lazarou Duke Street Hair Salon & Barbers Cardiff – observes trends as part of his profession: “This year, we are seeing a return to more creative, eye-catching styles that allow individuals to express themselves in unique and unconventional ways. From daring hair colours to bold new cuts, 2023 is all about breaking free from convention and embracing one's individuality. At the same time we see some classic haircuts return in the form of mullets, volumous blow-dries and bob haircuts in all their variety. We have seen it in 2022 already: Retro inspired haircuts are back. The 70-s inspired shag cut is in vogue in more diversely layered, texturized versions. Shag haircuts are especially handy as they require less time to style, so whether a curly shag, a long shag or shaggy mullet with curtain bangs, everything is possible. A key to finding the right haircut is to choose a style that fits a client’s facial structure, hair type and ultimately lifestyle. 2023 is about reinventing the classics | ©Salon Director Rachel The classic bob is still going strong in 2023 with more individuals embracing the classic, chic style. However, this year's bobs are bolder and more asymmetrical, with sharp angles and playful layers. Additionally, we are seeing a rise in buzz cuts and undercuts, which allow individuals to showcase their facial features while adding an edgy twist to their hairstyle. The traditional pixie cut will be elevated with added layers, a fringe and bright haircolours. We also embrace the beauty of natural hair textures and emphasise them with braids, twists and locks. When it comes to styling, texture is key this year, with beachy waves and soft curls being a popular choice. Braids are also making a comeback, with intricate and creative braids being sported on the runway and in the streets. One of the biggest hair colour trends of 2023 is the resurgence of vibrant: vibrant hues such as electric blue, neon pink, and bright purple. These bold colours are perfect for individuals who are looking to make a statement and stand out from the crowd. Additionally, we are seeing a rise in natural and earthy tones, like honey blonde and copper red, which add warmth and dimension to existing hair colour. (1) Copper, red, ginger tones are a big hair colour trend in spring 2023 | ©Senior Director Jaymie (2) Bold colours are perfect for individuals who are looking to make a statement | ©Lazarou Duke Street (3) Blonde is here to stay in 2023 | ©Senior Stylist Laney A good indication for trends in the upcoming year are Hollywood Red Carpet Events. The Oscars in 2023 were nothing short of trendsetting: From Rhianna’s graphic updo, Lily James’ 90’s inspired slick-back updo, Florence Pugh’s faux pixie fringe, Ashley Graham’s Y2K inspired braided updo or Michelle Yeoh’s natural waves - all these hairstyles will play a role in 2023.” With these new trends taking centre stage in 2023, it is an exciting time for those looking to switch up their hairstyle and make a statement. Whether a pop of colour or a daring new haircut, now is the time to embrace individuality in all its forms and make hair a statement. If you want to spruce up your hairstyle, book your appointment or free consultation with a member of our team at Lazarou Duke Street Salon & Barbers.

Step into the spotlight and let your hair steal the show this summer! As the sun-kissed season is in full swing, it's time to dive into the summer hair trends for 2023. From effortless textures that embrace your natural beauty to bold and vibrant colours that make you stand out, this summer promises a fusion of extremes: practicality meets individuality. This summer hair becomes a canvas for creativity, and every strand tells a story. 2023 is all about expressing one’s own uniqueness and this season’s summer hair trends reflect that. Carrying over from spring, bob haircuts are set to be one of the biggest hair trends in summer 2023. Bobs can be styled in a variety of ways, from sleek and straight to tousled and wavy, making it a great option for any occasion. The classic bob haircut has been updated with modern twists, making it a versatile and stylish option for any hair type. Short bobs with choppy layers and textured ends are perfect for those looking for a low-maintenance style that still looks chic and trendy. For those who prefer longer hair, the lob (long bob) is a great option, with its shoulder-grazing length and soft, face-framing layers. Blunt bobs are also making a comeback, with a sleek, polished look that is perfect for those who want a more sophisticated style. For a less drastic change, curtain bangs are a great option to update a hairstyle. The retro-inspired look is having a major comeback. Curtain bangs are longer, wispy bangs that can be swept to the side, are very versatile and work well with any hair length. Summer is known for its effortless, young and playful styles. Long lengths with beach waves are a go-to hairstyle. The effortlessly tousled and textured waves mimic the relaxed and carefree look of beach hair. Since not everybody is blessed with long hair, hair extensions are a great way to achieve that stylish long hair look. Hair extensions do not only add length, they can also add volume and texture to the hair. Hair extensions can be a great way to experiment with different hairstyles, from beachy waves or a sleek ponytail. This summer we are also seeing the revival of hair accessories. Statement headbands, silk scarves, and decorative clips are a must-have to elevate a hairstyle and showcase personal style. 2023 is all about embracing the power of self-expression. Mundane hair colours are replaced with bespoke hair colour shades to match individual styles. We see more nuanced colour shades, shades that are bespokenly created by the hairstylist for the individual client. Colour shades like personalised platinums, sandy beige blondes, rich chocolates, spice red or subtle cinnamon are finding their way into the salon. Bold Colours stay strong in 2023. This summer, expect to see more people experimenting with bold and bright hair colours. From neon greens to bold pinks or purples, the options are endless. Whether you opt for an all-over colour or just a few streaks, this trend is all about making a statement. On the other side of the colour spectrum we see effortless, sun-kissed looks achieved with multi-dimensional hair colour techniques. Balayage, babylights, and face-framing highlights will be popular choices to create a natural-looking glow that mimics the effects of the sun. No matter the chosen hairstyle, protecting the hair and maintaining its integrity is vital for any hair look. Especially in summer, strong UV rays can cause the hair to become dry, brittle, and prone to breakage, it also promotes hair colour to fade quicker and cause split ends. Nourishing and replenishing hair treatments as well as hair products with SPF - such as leave-in conditioners or hair oils - should become a vital step in the individual haircare routine.

Flutter with Style: The Butterfly Bob The butterfly bob is a current twist on the classic bob. The hairstyle is all about layers and movement, similar to the fluttering wings of a butterfly. The hairstyle is romantic and playful, with heavy layers and shorter pieces framing the face.  3. The Stevie: Boho Vibes Paying homage to the 70s rock icon Stevie Nicks, "The Stevie" is a softer, more bohemian version of the classic seventies shag cut. Think long, flowing layers with a less structured feel allow for a laid-back vibe. 4. Chic and Sleek: The Kitty Cut From last year’s trending butterfly cut or wolf cut, the Kitty Cut is set to be one of the biggest haircut trends of 2024: The Kitty Haircut is a sleeker, sophisticated style with layers that creates a feline silhouette. It is all about soft layers that gently fall around the shoulders create a polished yet feminine look. The haircut is elegant, refined and a modern update on the shoulder-grazing bob.  5. Cosmic Beauty: Lunar Harmony Hair 2024 introduces a unique trend: Lunar Harmony Hair. This style synchronises haircuts and hair colours with the lunar phases for stronger, shinier, healthier hair. This trends suggests to be more than a style, it is an experience that blends cosmic timing with personal expression. As the trend unfolds, we are happy to report more throughout 2024. 6. Modern Halo Cut: Angelic Dimension The Halo Cut adds a unique twist to the classic bob. By cutting the hair shorter around the crown, it creates a halo-like effect, adding both dimension and texture to the hair. 7. The Bixie Cut: Edgy yet Feminine Can't decide between a pixie and a bob? The Bixie Cut is your answer. This artful style combines short, textured pieces at the back with longer, face-framing layers at the front. 8. Retro Revival: Iconic 2024 Haircuts The Retro Revival of 2023 is here to stay for 2024. This year is all about nostalgic throwbacks with a modern twist. The Shag Haircut, Modern Mullet, Textured Bob, and Curtain Bangs are all enjoying their moment in the spotlight. Each style is being reinvented with a contemporary edge, making them perfect for those who appreciate a bit of a retro charm. 2024 is a year of diverse hair trends, blending past and present, simplicity with sophistication, and personal style with cultural nostalgia.

“In 2024, hair colours will be defined by their laid-back sophistication and subtle dimensions. Bold, statement colours will make way for subtle, yet shiny hues that blend naturally. It's the sophistication of these blends and the perfect matching of hair colour tones that will make hair colours stand out this year,” says Andreas Lazarou, Managing Director of Lazarou Hair Salons & Hair Extensions Cardiff Castle. This year Cherry Cola  will take centre stage, an evolution of last year’s red and ginger trend, but with a deeper, richer twist. This shade is a luxurious blend between deep auburn and wine red, which demands regular top-up and gloss sessions to maintain its full, scarlet glory. This year we are also seeing the nostalgic return of Caramel Highlights , inspired by the iconic look of Jennifer Lopez in the early 2000s. This time, however, they are softer, more natural, and embody a lived-in quality that conveys effortless elegance. Buttery Blonde is set to shine brightly in 2024, taking inspiration from Margot Robbie's portrayal in Barbie. This trend offers a golden, dimensional, and naturally radiant blonde tone. Bronde is a sophisticated fusion of brown and blonde, championed by celebrities like Suki Waterhouse. Bronde will be enhanced using a half-head balayage technique to ensure a naturally seamless transition. Reminiscent of last year’s expensive brunette trend, brown shades are taking on more nuanced expressions in 2024.  Mushroom Brown  and Hot Cocoa Brunette  offer a fresh take on brown hues, with Mushroom Brown presenting a muted, ashy option ideal for the cooler months. In 2024 mushroom brown will take the shade of a neutral taupe with golden tones. Hot Cocoa Brunette adds a warm, multidimensional twist to the classic brunette. Enriched with subtle red pigments it achieve a glossy finish, reminiscent of last year's expensive brunette trend.  Chestnut Brown - a rich, golden brown shade - finds its unique position between blond and black, incorporating elements of auburn, gold, and chocolate for a multidimensional look. Inky Espresso , a deep, dark brown that stops just shy of black, brings a profound intensity to the hair colour trends of 2024, as seen on celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Simone Ashley. Jet Brunette  innovates with darker roots and mid-lengths, transitioning to ashy brunette ends for a subtle, dimensional effect. Red hair colour shades will continue to be popular in 2024, impressing with their versatility. Golden Copper  blends strawberry blonde and copper for an amber-glowing, natural ginger shade. Speaking of golden, The Golden Glow is a 2024 trend in itself that is all about a subtle, soft glaze that comes alive in natural light. Pecan Red introduces a shiny auburn touch to brunette hair, creating a warm tone that beautifully complements pale skin. A late entry in 2023, Cowgirl Copper  continues to make waves in 2024. Its vibrant mix is perfectly positioned between mid-brown and copper, suitable for a wide range of skin tones and eye colours, as forecasted by Evo artist Tom Smith. Complementing these colour trends, Lived-in Balayages  and Ribbon Lights  emerge as key colouring techniques, focusing on low-maintenance, dimensional looks that celebrate natural beauty and effortless style. As we embrace the hair colour trends of 2024, creativity, personal expression, and a return to natural beauty are clearly at the heart of this year's aesthetic.  Are you still on the hunt for your ideal hair colour in 2024 or not sure which hair colour trend suits you?
