As the world continues to focus on individuality, green initiatives and equality, the salon and beauty industries have followed suit. Many of the latest trends involve natural products that make you stand out while having little environmental impact. Salon owners realize the importance of keeping up with and staying ahead of industry and social trends. Without further ado, we present the top salon and beauty trends to watch for in 2019.
1. Eyebrow Shaping
“Eyebrows have come center stage in the world of makeup; a full, defined brow is in demand more than ever. Perfectly groomed brows frame the face, and if done correctly, can act as an instant eye-lift.” – Iredale Mineral Cosmetics
2. Shade Matching
"Finding the perfect shade is the single most important part of foundation shopping. If it doesn’t look invisible, then what’s the point? It's a deal breaker." - Clinique
3. Microblading
“Microblading has grown steadily in popularity over the past couple of years and now everyone's mother knows about the once under-the-radar service. And with good reason: Nothing out there is as long-lasting nor natural-looking.” - Elle
4. Eye Lash Extensions
“Similar to the ones you can get on your head, eyelash extensions are individual lashes, made of silk, mink, or something synthetic, that are attached to your existing lashes semi-permanently. If you've ever dreamt of waking up with Bambi lashes but without that ring of leftover mascara dangling a foot under your eye, this is your solution.” – Into The Gloss
5. Fashion Colors
“Thanks to some great advancements in hair color formula, this new wave of fashion colors doesn’t limit your choices to popsicle shades. Now we can choose from pastels, metallics, and bolder brights. Additionally, they can be applied and blended with different techniques, such as ombre and balayage!” – Hair Product & Technique
6. Microbeads
“Easily done at home or in a salon, microbead extensions involve threading your hair through small beads at the end of the hair extension. One drawback to microbead extensions is that they require more frequent maintenance (such as tightening), but they’re easy to replace if needed and won’t damage your natural hair.” – My Time
7. Dipped Powder (SNS)
"Dip powders are basically acrylic powder used in a different technique, however, it shouldn't smell like the standard acrylic,” celebrity manicurist Erica Marton told TODAY Style. “It's geared for nail techs that want to save time or beginner nail techs. It's an easier, faster way. Think of it as a diet acrylic.” - Today
8. Mood Nail Polish
“These playful nail polishes change color based on your body temperature, your mood, the heat of your cup of coffee, or even while you're holding an ice cold lemonade! In The Mood colors will continue changing back and forth for as long as you wear them.” – In The Mood
9. Charcoal Masks
“Activated charcoal is perhaps one of the biggest beauty crazes right now, and with good reason. That’s because it works.” – Smoothie Beauty
10. Vegan Cosmetics
“A product that is vegan does not contain any animal ingredients or animal-derived ingredients. This includes, but is not limited to, honey, beeswax, lanolin, collagen, albumen, carmine, cholesterol, gelatin, and many others. To many, the term “vegan” also means that a product is free from animal testing as well.” – Logical Harmony
