The Kansas City metro area is a hub of culture, fashion, and innovation, and that energy flows directly into the hair trends we see. But while runway looks are inspiring, a true expert knows how to take that Kansas City style and make it perfectly wearable for life in Overland Park.
At OP Hair Salon, located conveniently at 11790 W 135th St, Overland Park, KS 66221, we don’t just follow trends—we adapt them. Our stylists ensure that your new look is not only current but also suits your face shape, maintenance level, and the unique challenges of the Midwest climate.
Here’s a look at the major cuts and colors trending now and how our experts translate them for you.
🎨 Color Trends: Trading Bright for Rich
As the seasons shift, so does the demand for color. The biggest movement is away from high-contrast summer lightness toward depth and expensive-looking richness.
1. The Velvet Brunette
This is the new “Expensive Brunette” for the cooler months. It’s a deep, rich brown (think espresso or dark chocolate) enhanced with a high-shine gloss.
- OP Salon Translation: We achieve this deep, light-reflective look using a demi-permanent color or a professional gloss. This ensures incredible luminosity and a smooth, reflective surface that looks polished for Overland Park workdays and weekend outings.
2. Honey Butter Blonde
Blondes aren’t going icy; they are embracing controlled warmth. Honey Butter Blonde is a soft, seamless blend of buttery, golden tones that maintain brightness without looking brassy.
- OP Salon Translation: Our balayage and foil techniques focus on subtlety and blending. We use specific golden/sandy toners to keep the shade warm and dimensional, ensuring a seamless grow-out that requires less frequent appointments.
3. Cherry Cola and Moody Copper
For clients craving bold color, jewel tones are in. Cherry Cola Brunettes feature a deep base with violet-red undertones, while moody copper sits in the gold-orange family.
- OP Salon Translation: This is where expertise matters most. We use high-quality, professional color lines to achieve vibrancy and recommend integrated bond-builders to protect the hair’s integrity, which is crucial for red and copper shades.
✂️ Cutting Trends: Texture and Versatility
The major haircut trend is all about texture, movement, and low-effort sophistication—styles that look good with minimal heat styling.
1. The Textured Bob (or “Boxie” Cut)
The classic bob is reinvented with internal layers and soft, curved edges. This style provides volume without the fuss, often grazing the jawline or collarbone.
- OP Salon Translation: We tailor the texture to your hair type. For fine hair, the cut is blunt to maximize thickness; for waves, we add soft, invisible layers for movement. It’s a chic, modern cut that works beautifully with a deep side part.
2. The Butterfly Cut & Long Layers
For clients who cherish their length, the Butterfly Cut remains popular. It involves strategic, face-framing layers and shorter sections around the crown that give the illusion of short hair, while maintaining the length in the back.
- OP Salon Translation: This cut is all about the blow-out. We teach you how to use a round brush or a large curling iron to achieve that voluminous, bouncy ’90s supermodel style that is defining the Kansas City glamour aesthetic.
