Old Town Fort Collins Hair Trends: What's Hot Right Now
Old Town Fort Collins is one of Colorado's most vibrant neighborhoods — a mix of locally-owned boutiques, craft breweries, art galleries, and award-winning restaurants along Mountain Avenue and College Avenue. It's a place that values individuality, creativity, and local character. Naturally, the people who call Old Town home (or spend every weekend there) have impeccable personal style — and that includes their hair.
At Salon Salon, we're tuned into what's trending on the streets of Old Town and how those trends translate to wearable, everyday hair for real Fort Collins people. Here's what we're seeing right now.
Lived-In Color
The days of high-maintenance, root-to-tip single-process color are waning. Old Town's creative crowd is embracing 'lived-in' color — think soft root shadows, dimensional balayage, and color that looks naturally sun-kissed rather than freshly processed. It's beautiful, low-maintenance, and grows out intentionally.
The Bixie Cut
Somewhere between a bob and a pixie, the bixie cut is having a major moment. It's edgy enough to stand out on a Friday night at Odell Brewing, but polished enough for a weekday at the office. Our stylists can customize length, layers, and texture to give you a bixie that feels uniquely yours.
Rich Brunette Tones
While blonde dominated for years, rich brunette shades — espresso, chocolate cherry, and warm chestnut — are making a serious comeback. These colors look especially stunning in Colorado's natural light and pair beautifully with the earthy, outdoor-inspired fashion of the Fort Collins lifestyle.
Curtain Bangs
Curtain bangs are still going strong — and for good reason. They're flattering on almost every face shape, easy to style, and add instant dimension to any haircut. If you've been on the fence about bangs, curtain bangs are a great place to start.
Effortless Waves
Old Town's artistic, free-spirited vibe has made effortless, tousled waves one of the most requested styles we see at Salon Salon. Whether you achieve them with a curling wand, braids, or a diffuser, the goal is hair that looks like you've just come back from a beautiful weekend adventure — which, in Fort Collins, you probably have.
