Every year brings new trends, but not every trend works for every city. Pittsburgh has its own style -- practical, polished, and confident. Here are the hair trends our Craft Collective stylists are seeing the most demand for in 2026.
Copper is the color of 2026. Pittsburgh clients are asking for warm, rich copper tones that range from soft strawberry to deep auburn. This trend works beautifully on brunettes who want to go warmer without committing to full blonde. Our colorists use custom Wella formulas to create copper shades that complement your skin tone.
Curtain bangs had a massive comeback in 2024 and they are not going anywhere. The reason is simple: they frame the face beautifully, work with almost any hair length, and grow out gracefully. If you have been thinking about bangs, curtain bangs are the lowest-risk option.
The Italian bob -- chin-length, slightly layered, with effortless movement -- is the haircut of the moment. It is slightly longer than a traditional bob and sits at the jawline with soft, face-framing pieces. Perfect for Pittsburgh professionals who want a low-maintenance but elevated look.
The money piece -- bright, face-framing highlights placed around the hairline -- continues to be one of our most requested color services. It brightens the face, adds instant dimension, and works with any base color. Our colorists recommend pairing it with a subtle balayage for maximum impact.
The blown-out, perfectly smooth look is giving way to more natural, lived-in texture. Clients want hair that looks effortlessly good -- tousled waves, air-dried curls, and soft bends that look like they happened naturally. This trend is as much about styling technique as it is about the cut.
