Hair and Beauty Trends 2023

Charlie Milz Hair & Beauty • 10 January 2023

The season of 2022 has come to an end and with that, we look forward at what 2023 has to offer in terms of hair and beauty styles, techniques, and products.


Explore what our experts think will be the best beauty trends and hair styles for 2023…

Beauty Trends in 2023

We’ve looked at what industry experts have said, plus spoken to our in-house team on what they predict will be the biggest trends and appointments in 2023. Here’s what we found:

Grunge Glam

Thank the popularity of Netflix’s Wednesday, grunge glam is back and set to take over. With smudged liners, smoky eyes, deep lips, and faux freckles, embrace your inner dark side.

Clean Girl

If you’re not ready for grunge or prefer to keep heavier make up looks for nights out and simple barefaced beauty day to day then you’ll be pleased to know that the clean girl look will continue to dominate through 2023, thanks to huge TikTok trends of how to achieve the look.



Top tip: good skincare is the secret here and letting your skin breathe.

Skin Barrier Beauty

To achieve the clean girl aesthetic, you’re going to have to heavily invest in a quality skincare routine. Looking at 2023, replenishing your skin barrier looks set to be a key focus. If you can reset your skincare barrier with good hydration and ceramides, then you’ll get the glow from the get-go.

Mewing

Thanks to TikTok (again), mewing has grown in popularity over the last few months, and that is where you place the tongue on the roof of your mouth and swallow, causing your jawline to look more defined and the double chin disappear. Though this is temporary (your jawline reverts to normal as soon as you stop doing it), it’s been praised for helping people feel more confident in pictures.


Psst, if you don’t know how to mew, or prefer a simpler way to achieve a defined jawline, why not look at Laser Skin Tightening.

Metallic and Chrome Nails

Thanks to Hailey Bieber, glazed nails were a leading trend in 2022. For next year, though, we see metallic and chrome effect nails taking centre stage with high shine finishes for a standout set, taking the trending glazed nail one step further.

Eyebrow Lamination

A firm favourite, and for good reason. Lamination is the art of straightening the brow hair with a chemical solution so they’re fixed in place, giving the finish of full and textured brows.

Lash Growth Serums

As more of us are using less make up day to day, there are ways to achieve the look of ‘wearing make up without wearing make-up’.  Investing in an eyelash serum to help your lashes grow longer and thicker is the best way to have the no-make up look without mascara.

You can pick up LashBase, Lifted range of eyebrow and eyelash serum in the salon for £14.95.

Hair trends for 2023

Our expert team has done some research, and here’s what we believe will be big in 2023 in the world of hair. If you like the sound of them and want to book in for a change, reserve an appointment for a new year, new you.

A Side Parting

Yes, you did read that correctly: side partings are making a comeback. With many generational trends on a loop, early 2000s has seen a dramatic resurge in the style stakes last year, and in 2023, the side parting takes centre stage. Already seen on the likes of Kim K and Zendaya, a well-styled side fringe will keep you ahead of the hair trends this year.

Sleek and Shiny

Also as a nod to Y2K hair, sleek and straight is set to return brining back memories of when we used to straighten our hair to within an inch of its life. Now, it’s back, but with healthy, sleek and shiny hair as the finish, giving a glamourous touch to poker straight hair.

Hair Accessories

For some time now, we’ve let hair do all the talking while accessories faded into trends from years gone by. But now they’re back, and the nod to the early 2000s is helping claw clips, butterfly clips, ribbon bows and chunky headbands to add some interest to your hair. Along with being beautiful, these accessories offer practicality for pinning your hair out of your face, without damaging your locks. Because one thing that never goes out of style is healthy, well-maintained hair.

Face Framing

As a contrast to a perfectly straight do, hair with a lot of texture will continue to dominate in the coming year with lots of layers and face framing to add depth and interest to your cut.



2022 saw plenty of textured cuts leading style stakes with butterfly, shag and wolf cuts being a great way to add playful texture to your hair. The start of 2023 is no different, so ask for feathered looks, curtain bangs and long layers to frame your face.

Chic Bobs

Some styles are on rotation every season with slight updates to make them different each year. A chic bob is one of those looks. Making it unique in 2023, a box bob is here to be a striking sharp-edged above the shoulder cut that looks dramatic and sexy when straight, and soft and textured with soft waves.

Copper Hair

2022 was a great year for redheads with a huge surge in those turning to red and warm tones. We predict that this colour will stay for longer in 2023, and as it’s so versatile, there’s a shade to suit every skin tone.
