Short Bob
One of the most stylish and universally flattering cuts of 2025, the short bob is a must-try. Redken hair designer and ambassador Juandiegoteo explains, “It’s a refined take on the classic carré but even more flattering. Since it falls right at the jawline, it enhances facial features beautifully and suits all face shapes.”
Long Pixie
For those hesitant about the ultra-short pixie, the long pixie is a chic alternative. “It’s an elegant choice for women seeking a bold transformation while keeping some length,” says Juandiegoteo.
For round faces: Keep the sides sleek with volume at the crown to elongate the face. A side-swept fringe complements this shape.
For long faces: Opt for a fringe and slightly longer sides for balance.
For square faces: Add crown volume and a side fringe for a softer look.
Butterfly Cut
This layered haircut features framing layers and long, parted bangs that soften and balance facial features. “Ideal for oval, square, and long faces, the butterfly cut can be customized with 2 to 6 layers depending on hair density and length,” notes Juandiegoteo.
Mixie Cut
A bold fusion of the mullet and pixie, the ‘Mixie Cut’ exudes texture and movement. Popularized by Rita Ora at the 2024 Fashion Awards, it’s perfect for those embracing a punk-inspired aesthetic.
Layered Hair
A trend that dominated 2024 and continues strong into 2025, layered haircuts bring freshness and volume. Experts at Blow Dry Bar confirm, “Layers add movement and a youthful touch, making them a fantastic choice for those wanting an easy yet stylish update.”
Long Bangs
This ’90s-inspired trend is a celebrity favorite. “A straight fringe adds a youthful glow while elegantly framing the face,” say hair experts. Taylor Swift’s recent public appearances showcase just how flattering this look can be.
Asymmetrical Bob
Seen on style icons like Victoria Beckham, the Kardashians, and Jedet, this edgy cut exposes the neck and exudes confidence. “It’s a sexy and modern look that works for all ages, from 20s to 50s,” Juandiegoteo explains.
Blunt Bob
A sleek, minimalist style that enhances facial features with a refined edge. “Jessica Biel wears it with honey highlights, Lucy Boynton adds volume for a dramatic effect, and Kendall Jenner stuns with a warm brunette shade,” says Rosa Roselló, head of training at Druni.
Long Bob
A timeless and versatile cut, the long bob extends just past the chin and can be styled in countless ways. “Whether sleek, wavy, or with bangs, the long bob remains one of the most requested cuts because of its adaptability,” explains Juandiegoteo.
