Textured Layers, Natural Beauty & Authenticity: Swanky Malone’s May 2025 Hair Mood Board
As we embrace the vibrant energy of May, Swanky Malone is excited to share our latest mood board, capturing the essence of the season's hair trends.
This month, we're focusing on texture, natural beauty, and authenticity - elements that resonate deeply with our salon's ethos.
Embracing Textured Cuts for Women
Texture is dominating 2025, with styles like the wolf cut and shaggy pixie leading the way for women’s short hairstyles. These cuts provide volume, movement, and an effortlessly stylish vibe, ideal for clients seeking a modern yet low-maintenance look.

For those considering something more classic but on-trend… Think soft, layered bobs or a modern Italian bob, offering both structure and fluidity. These cuts work beautifully to flatter the face and add youthful energy.

We’re also seeing a layered hair renaissance - about 90% of our clients are opting for layers, even those with fine hair, creating a softer, voluminous silhouette that’s versatile and easy to maintain.

Blondes, Bold Colours & Personalised Tones
At Swanky Malone, blonde hair is anything but one-size-fits-all. We personalise each blonde tone to suit the client's skin undertone - cool, warm, or neutral - for a shade that looks naturally flattering.
Meanwhile, bold colour trends are emerging on the fashion scene. Vibrant fiery reds and statement pinks, as well as lavender greens, are making waves, adding an adventurous splash to otherwise plain styles.
Men’s Trends: The re-Rise of shorter hair
Men’s grooming has embraced practicality and style this season. The low fade haircut has become a client favourite. Offering versatility, the look combines clean lines around the perimeter with texture through the length on top. It’s a smart choice for summer - keeping the look cool, comfortable, and stylish. This cut adapts well whether you’re aiming for a polished appearance or a more relaxed, tousled finish.

If you prefer something classic, the French crop hairstyle is also trending, especially for men wanting a clean, sharp silhouette that’s easy to maintain.
