FAQs
Will these trends still work next year?
The structural ones — shapes, finishes, color families — yes. Novelty motifs fade; invest your salon budget in the former.
How do I try a trend cheaply?
Press-ons. Test-drive any aesthetic for $12 and zero commitment before committing to gel.
What's the single biggest 2026 shift?
Texture. Velvet, aura glazes and tactile 3D details replaced flat color as the main event.
