With hair salons closed again over lockdown, people across the country are now desperate to hit the hairdresser for a haircut.
When hair salons opened up on what was known as Super Saturday, people rushed to their local stylist to try and fit in a haircut appointment.
It seems that people were torn between two ‘extreme’ cuts.
“Some clients embraced their lockdown longer hair length and were looking for a cut that maintains the length but adds shape and deals with optimising their hair condition. Other clients wanted a complete change, something radical and much shorter,” said Craig Taylor, Creative Director at HARI's salons at the time.
But what will we opt for when salons (hopefully) re-open on December 2nd?

Post-quarantine haircut styles: What haircut is in style now?
Hairdresser to the stars Larry King also weighed in on the upcoming haircut trends, revealing that ‘re-emergence hair’ is set to be a big trend.
He explains that this focuses on the idea that after emerging out of lockdown, people are likely to want to something slightly more dramatic with their hair.
However, while opting for a dramatic haircut, people are also going to want to pick a style relatively sustainable in case further restrictions are imposed over the coming months.
“As we are re-emerging from lock-down women are looking for transformational changes that are not only sustainable but impactful,” says Larry.
“We’ll see fringes, a return to the layer and hair length.”
Explaining the three styles he thinks will see a jump, Larry outlines:
- Fresh-face fringes: Arched to frame the face. A fringe will add structure and hide a multitude of sins
- The return of the layer: Shorter disconnected layers that embrace the texture of your hair opposed to thinning it out at the baseline
- The Great lengths: Due to lock-down, many will now have their dream length but will want to start to manage it moving forward

Aleesha has worked for woman&home since 2019, when she joined the team as their digital news writer. A year on the news team gained her quick and reactive writing skills and a love for breaking stories, invaluable insight into where to get the best lifestyle releases first, an AOP awards nomination and the nickname ‘crazy watch lady’ after she became so obsessed with the royals that she followed breaking news alerts on her Apple Watch.
Before joining the woman&home team, Aleesha wrote for their sister site GoodtoKnow, where she covered celebrity news, health advice and where to snap up the cheapest lifestyle buys. With a background in beauty, Aleesha has also written for Stylist and Women’s Health where she developed an understanding into what makes a stellar product and which brands are worth paying attention to. She never leaves the house without a slick of lip balm and a good slathering of SPF, cannot live without an eyelash curler by her side and is always on the hunt for new lipsticks to add to her ‘Lipstick of the Day’ Instagram story highlight (and color-coordinated collection).
But it’s not just beauty buys Aleesha can help you with. Social media savviness, strong PR relationships and a need to stay in the know mean she’s all about the latest fashions, clever gadgets and reliable lifestyle buys too. She loves indulging in an interior craze (with a bedroom drowned in prints, plants and pink), is a regular visitor to the Missoma and Edge of Ember 'New In' pages and can’t resist the allure of a kitchen gadget—just ask her three coffee machines.
When she’s not playing around with new products and testing anything she can get her hands on, Aleesha spends most of her time with her head in a current bestseller, catching up on the latest Netflix craze with her sister, trying out new recipes, drinking wine with her bestie and (in non-COVID times) has been known to be a bit of a jetsetter amongst her friendship group. Oh and she makes the most of her Disney+ subscription by watching the Marvel films on repeat (definitely not just for Chris Evans...).
