TYPES OF HAIRCUTS & STYLES


In the UK, hair trends can vary based on seasons, celebrity influence, and cultural shifts, but there are certain hairstyles that remain consistently popular. Here are some of the most common hairstyles requested at The Factory Hair Studio:

The Bob (and Variations)

The bob is a classic and versatile cut that remains one of the most requested hairstyles in the UK. This can include:

  • The Blunt Bob: A sharp, clean cut at the chin or jawline, with no layers, creating a bold, sleek look.
  • The Lob (Long Bob): A longer version of the bob, often styled with soft waves or straight, and a popular choice for those not ready to commit to a shorter length.
  • Textured Bob: Adds layers or waves for a more relaxed, lived-in look. It's perfect for creating a cool, undone vibe.

    • Curtain Bangs

    Curtain bangs have surged in popularity, particularly in recent years. These soft, face-framing bangs part in the middle and fall gently to each side, giving a retro-inspired vibe that's flattering for all face shapes. They're a great choice for those who want to experiment with bangs without the full commitment of heavy, blunt bangs.

    Shag Haircut

    The shag haircut has made a major comeback in the UK. It's all about messy, choppy layers that create volume and texture. This style works particularly well for those with natural waves or curls, though it can also be styled with straight hair for an edgy, rock 'n' roll look. The cut can be customised with bangs, or it can be left with longer layers for a more relaxed, tousled finish.

    Long Layers

    Long layered hair remains one of the most requested styles, especially among those who want to maintain length while adding volume and movement. The layers can range from soft and subtle to more pronounced, depending on the client's preferences. This cut works well with both straight and curly hair and can be styled in a variety of ways—sleek, beachy waves, or voluminous curls.

    The Pixie Cut

    For those looking for a more dramatic change, the pixie cut is a popular, edgy choice. The pixie is a short, textured cut that emphasises the face, making it ideal for those who want a bold, chic look. This cut has a youthful, modern feel and can be styled tousled for an undone, carefree vibe or sleek for a more polished appearance.

    Blowouts & Volume Style

    A full, voluminous blowout is a consistent request in UK salons, particularly for events or special occasions. This style typically involves creating a lot of volume at the roots, with soft curls or waves at the ends, often finished off with a smooth, polished finish. It gives the appearance of fuller, healthier hair and is ideal for anyone looking for a glamorous, red-carpet look.

    Braids & Plaits

    Braids remain a staple in the UK, particularly for those looking for functional yet stylish options. Common requests include:

  • Loose, Boho Braids: A relaxed, bohemian style that’s ideal for festivals or casual days out.
  • Dutch and French Braids: A more intricate style that can be worn as a single braid down the back or as two braids framing the face.
  • Fishtail Braids: A more delicate, textured alternative to the classic braid, often styled in a casual, beachy manner.

    • Textured Curls (Natural or Styled)

    Curly hair, whether natural or styled, is a hugely popular look in the UK, particularly with the rise of embracing natural hair textures. Many clients with curly or coily hair are opting for cuts that enhance their natural curl pattern, such as the "curly bob" or the "curly shag". For those with straight hair, perms or curl styling techniques, including finger curls and heat styling tools, are used to create volume and texture.

    The Fade

    The fade is one of the most popular men's haircuts in the UK. This style features hair that gradually gets shorter from the top down to the sides and back. The most common variations are:

  • Low Fade: The fade starts just above the ears, keeping more length on the top.
  • High Fade: The fade starts higher up on the head, creating a sharper contrast between the top and sides.
  • Skin Fade: The sides and back are shaved to the skin, with the fade gradually blending into the longer hair on top.

    • Undercut

    An undercut is a bold style where the sides and/or back are shaved or clipped very short while leaving the top longer. It's a popular choice for men and women looking for something modern, edgy, and easy to maintain. The undercut can be paired with a variety of top styles, such as a pompadour, a slicked-back look, or a messy, textured top.

    The 'Chelsea' or 'Shoreditch' Look (Textured & Messy)

    This is a distinctly urban, street-style-inspired look with textured, choppy layers and an intentionally messy finish. Often worn by those in fashion-forward circles or those who want a more lived-in, edgy look, this style works well with both short and long hair, usually paired with either a natural or messy styling finish.

    Our expert stylists offer personalised consultations to determine the best haircut based on your face shape, hair type, and lifestyle. Whether you're considering a dramatic change or just a trim, we'll guide you in choosing a cut that complements your features and meets your styling needs.

    The frequency of haircuts depends on your hair growth and the style you're maintaining. For shorter cuts, we recommend coming in every 4-6 weeks, while longer styles may need trims every 6-8 weeks to keep them healthy and shape them as they grow out.

    Regular trims help prevent split ends and maintain the shape of your style, ensuring your hair always looks fresh and healthy.

    Yes! Once you’ve had your haircut, our stylists will provide tips and advice on how to style it at home to suit your lifestyle and preferences. From blowouts to curls or sleek straight styles, we'll help you achieve your look with the right tools and products. We can also recommend the best products for your hair type to help maintain the style.

    Adding volume can be easily achieved with the right cut and styling techniques. For fine hair, we recommend layering your hair to add dimension and movement. Using volumising products, like mousse or root-lifting sprays, can also help. Our stylists will give you specific recommendations based on your hair type to add body and fullness to your look.

    Maintaining hair health is key to keeping your cut looking its best. We recommend using nourishing shampoos and conditioners tailored to your hair type, as well as weekly treatments to keep your hair hydrated. Avoid over-styling and give your hair breaks from heat tools when possible. Our stylists can advise on products and routines specific to your hair’s needs.

    Absolutely! Changing your hairstyle is a great way to refresh your look. Whether you're looking to go shorter, add layers, or try a completely new style, our expert stylists will guide you through the process and recommend the best cut that suits your face shape and hair type.
