Healing starts the moment you allow yourself to slow down. ✨
Whether you’re carrying stress, tension, or simply need a reset, your wellness matters.
Breathe. Relax. Heal. 🤍
Not every guest wants a transformation.
So many of our guests come in for maintenance AND connection with their professional who will guide and care for them. Kayla and her guest, Mattie, spent the morning catching up and enjoying a beautiful refresh.

There is a reason going shorter can feel like such a big decision.
So if you have ever thought, “I want a change… but I am scared to lose the length,” we understand.
Emily created this beautiful transformation with care, intention, and a clear plan. Before making the cut, she talked through what the guest wanted, what would feel manageable at home, and how to create a shape that still felt soft, flattering, and wearable.
That is the Trends Experience.
We believe you should feel guided, not pressured. You should understand the plan before the service begins. And when you leave, you should know how to care for and style your hair at home.
If you are craving a change but feeling nervous about going shorter, Emily will help you take that next step with confidence.
There are so many products, routines, trends, and opinions out there that it can feel hard to know what your skin actually needs.
That’s why Reegan loves customized facials.
No two guests and no two skin types are exactly the same. During your appointment, Reegan takes time to listen to your concerns, look at what your skin needs that day, and customize the treatment around you.
Her goal is for you to leave feeling relaxed and cared for, but also educated. You should understand what your skin needs and what to do at home so you can keep seeing real results.
Skincare does not have to be overwhelming. Sometimes you just need a quiet room, a thoughtful professional, and a plan made for you.

At Trends, we believe feeling informed is part of the guest experience. Today, Kayla is answering one of the biggest questions she hears from blonde guests: “Can I go lighter without damaging my hair?”

A healthy style starts before the braids go in.
For this guest, Katie focused on giving the hair the moisture, softness, and support it needed before installing braided extensions.
Before creating the finished look, Katie took time to condition the hair, support manageability, and prepare it for a protective style that would feel beautiful and last.
This is one of the things we love about Katie’s approach, she doesn’t just think about the final style. She thinks about the health of the hair underneath it.
Whether your hair is feeling dry, hard to manage, or in need of extra care, Katie loves helping guests create a plan that supports healthier, softer, more manageable hair.

Thank you to the Grow Room who hosted our salon. Every year we like to get together as a team in January. After the busy holiday season we get reconnected and just enjoy one another. Those of us who could make it, had a great time laughing and potting our new plants. Cheers to 2026 and all the growth we will do!

Today at Trends Salon, we take time to reflect on the deep history and enduring contributions of Indigenous communities—both in our local area and across the globe.
For some of us, these roots are visible. For others, they may be tucked into family stories, cultural memories, or shared through connection with someone we care about. Whether or not you carry Indigenous heritage, we all have something to learn from Indigenous values—like respect for nature, communal care, and wellness as a form of tradition.
Our owner has Indigenous roots from El Salvador—reminding us that identity can be layered, global, and beautifully personal.
Let this day be an invitation:
To reflect on your roots or explore the ancestry of those close to you
To learn about local Indigenous communities and their histories
To celebrate beauty as more than aesthetics—it’s connection, healing, and legacy
We honor these stories, and we’re grateful to be part of a community that uplifts them. 🧡

Sugaring? I’ve heard about it—but is it right for me? 🤔
Sugaring is a gentle, effective hair removal service we offer at Trends: Sugaring with SJ, our experienced esthetician.
🌿 What is Sugaring?
It’s an all-natural method of hair removal that uses a paste made from sugar, lemon, and water. That’s it! -See, when we say sustainable beauty, we mean it! No resins, no artificial ingredients, and no mystery chemicals.
Why Our Guests Love It:
• Gentler on skin than traditional waxing—perfect for sensitive areas like bikini lines and lower.
• Hair is removed in the direction of growth, reducing breakage and ingrowns.
• Results can last 3–5 weeks—and get better over time!
• Easy cleanup with water (because it’s water-soluble!)
Is it right for you?
Maybe, If you’ve been curious but hesitant, SJ is here to walk you through it. She creates a comfortable, judgment-free space and will make sure you feel confident every step of the way. Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, you’re in expert hands.
