Bridal season is here. Trends are shifting. 2026 is about refined texture and polished classics. Your wedding day deserves the best hair salon in Concord NH. Transformations happen at The Color Lounge Salon & Spa.
BOHO BRAIDS
Effortless. Whimsical. Refined. Boho braids remain a top choice for 2026 brides. This year focus on "intentional messiness."
PROFILE
Chunky fishtails
Loose French braids
Soft face-framing pieces
Maximum volume
BEST FOR
Garden weddings
Outdoor ceremonies
A-line gowns
Relaxed aesthetics
STYLIST NOTE Texture is key. We use professional grit sprays. This prevents slipping. Keeps the braid secure for 12+ hours.
MAINTENANCE Avoid heavy oils before your appointment. Clean, dry hair provides the best base. Learn more about prepping your hair in our salon aftercare guide.
HOLLYWOOD WAVES
Glamour. Structure. High shine. The Hollywood wave is the definitive red-carpet look for brides. It has replaced standard beach waves for formal events.
PROFILE
Deep side parts
Uniform S-pattern curls
Glossy finish
Zero frizz
BEST FOR
Classic ballgowns
Minimalist silk dresses
Evening receptions
Elegant indoor venues
STYLIST NOTE This look requires precision. We use a set-and-cool technique. This ensures waves don't drop. Professional-grade high-shine spray is mandatory.
MAINTENANCE Minimal touching. Fingers transfer oils. Keep the structure intact for photos. Check out our tips on keeping your style salon-fresh.
SLEEK BUNS
Clean. Modern. Sophisticated. The sleek bun is the ultimate "quiet luxury" bridal choice. It provides a perfect foundation for dramatic veils.
PROFILE
Low nape placement
Centered or side parts
Mirror-like finish
Secure anchoring
BEST FOR
Cathedral-length veils
High-neck gowns
Modern bridal suits
Minimalist brides
STYLIST NOTE Foundation matters. We build the bun with invisible pins. It stays tight. It feels light. No "bridal headache" by the end of the night.
MAINTENANCE Use a silk pillowcase if sleeping in the style. Keep hair masks away from roots 48 hours prior. This prevents the "slick" from looking "greasy."
FLORAL UPDOS
Organic. Romantic. Cohesive. Floral updos bridge the gap between hair and nature. 2026 favors real blooms over synthetic accessories.
PROFILE
Softly pinned updos
Woven floral buds
Greenery accents
Natural movement
BEST FOR
Spring weddings
Summer garden parties
Lace-heavy gowns
Romantic themes
STYLIST NOTE Match your hair flowers to your bouquet. We suggest hardy blooms. Baby’s breath, spray roses, and waxflowers last longest without water.
MAINTENANCE Cool storage for flowers until the moment of styling. We use professional floral adhesive or wire when necessary. Safety first for your style.
