Get to know the styles your clients will be asking for this festival season

Coachella has officially kicked off the festival season, but for hairstylists, it’s the ultimate inspiration for the months ahead. From dreamy styles to playful accessories, the biggest names at this year's festival have set the tone for the must-have festival hair trends of 2025. One standout takeaway from Coachella is the influence of '70s bohemia, which is making an impact on every style. So, what can you expect your clients to ask for when they’re prepping for their fun-filled day? We’ve rounded up the trending looks that will definitely bring the life and party to the salon.

Cool-girl accessories are everything!

If there’s one takeaway from Coachella 2025, it’s the excessive use of accessories. Think butterfly clips, rhinestones, coloured bobbles and super cute mini clips. These additions bring fun to even the simplest styles and allow clients to add that colour and texture that isn’t a part of their everyday look. Accessories are the new hair hero, and we are here for it!

Messy, loose plaits

 

Trend alert: plaits are back. For clients who want to keep hair off their face without sacrificing style, the loose plait is the way to go. This style brings that 70’s bohemia vibe, and mixes practicality with edge, especially when paired with some statement accessories. The reason why we love this look so much? The messier the better. Messy braids are the festival vibe of the year, giving loose, textured, and a little imperfect (but in the best way). If you’re wanting to elevate the loose, messy plait, add a few soft waves to any loose strands to create an effortless but put-together energy that all festival goers are after. 

Baby braids with a big impact

For a subtle yet stylish addition, baby braids are the ultimate festival hairstyle. Whether placed around the front to frame the face or hidden throughout the hairstyle for added detail, these mini braids offer a practical yet polished finish. Level your mini braids up by adding some funky clips or mini gems to embrace that festival look.

Mermaid waves

Beachy, tousled, mermaid waves continue to reign as the festival hairstyle, and it’s obvious why. Mermaid waves give the perfect balance between effortless and elegance, with their soft and defined wave that adds a stunning touch to any client's look. The key to the ultimate mermaid wave style? Texture sprays, for added volume and movement. It’s the go-to low-maintenance look that still turns heads.

The revival of flower power

 
Channelling the trending 70s bohemia, flower accessories are taking over festival hairstyles. Think big, over-the-top flower clips added to the hair for a fresh, flirty pop of colour. Whether added to braids, clipped into waves, or added to updos, they bring a nostalgic and playful twist that clients will love.

The not-so-messy up-do

 

Practical and undeniably cool, the messy up-do is a go-to for festival days. This season, we’re seeing more texture and movement, and added braids woven into ponytails or buns to enhance that lived-in bohemia vibe. It keeps the hair up and out of the face while still delivering a stunning look. What’s not to love? 

With festival season making a big entrance in 2025, this is your sign to stock up your salon with styling gems, texturising sprays, and lots of playful accessories. Festival hair is all about having creative freedom, and importantly, lots of fun! We can’t wait to see what festival hairstyles unravel throughout the year.
