Holiday Hair Trends 2025: Vancouver’s Chicest Looks for the Festive Season

As the city glows with lights along Robson and South Surrey fills with holiday gatherings, it’s officially the season to shine. Whether you’re preparing for office parties, family dinners, or nights out downtown, your hair deserves the same attention as your wardrobe.

At Space Salon and Aveda Institute Vancouver, our stylists are forecasting the most requested looks for Winter 2025 — elegant, touchable, and perfectly tailored to our West Coast lifestyle.

1. Espresso Brunettes & Warm Chestnuts

Rich brunette shades are dominating this season, replacing the cooler tones of last winter. Think glossy espresso, maple brown, and chestnut hues that reflect light beautifully indoors and out. Our colourists achieve this dimension using Aveda Full Spectrum™ botanically-based dyes that leave hair healthy and luminous.

Book your glossing or demi-permanent colour now to refresh your tone before holiday photos steal the spotlight.

2. Luxe Blondes with Soft Dimension

Cool, icy blondes are giving way to buttery beige and champagne tones that feel warm yet expensive. Low-contrast dimension — soft foils and subtle face-framing — adds movement without harsh lines.

Paired with Aveda Botanical Repair™ treatments, these blondes look natural, healthy, and camera-ready.

3. Polished, Healthy Hair Finishes

This winter’s biggest luxury statement isn’t colour — it’s shine. Clients are asking for smooth, reflective finishes that feel touchable and hydrated. Our in-salon Botanical Repair™ or Shine Treatment instantly restores strength and glow.

Ask your stylist to add a shine treatment when you book your next visit — it’s the easiest way to elevate your look before a big event.

4. The Revival of the Bob

Short hair is back in a big way — blunt bobs, layered crops, and sculpted shags are all over runways and red carpets. These shapes are timeless and effortless, especially when paired with Aveda’s texture-enhancing styling products. Our stylists specialize in customizing precision cuts to your features and texture so you can wake up ready to go.

Schedule your cut appointment now to head into 2026 with a confident new shape.

5. Effortless Holiday Waves & Upstyles

When your calendar fills with holiday dinners and celebrations, styling becomes the finishing touch. Think polished waves, minimalist ponytails, or modern chignons — beautiful hair that complements your outfit rather than competes with it.

Book a blow-dry or upstyle service early; December appointments fill quickly every year.
