January at Trixie’s Salon & Spa:
2026 Hair Trends, New Aveda Skincare & Heart-Led Beauty in Des Moines
January is a season of fresh starts, but at Trixie’s Salon & Spa in Des Moines, Iowa, we believe a new year doesn’t need pressure. It needs intention!
As we step into 2026, our focus is beauty that feels grounded, thoughtful, and deeply personal. From upcoming hair trends to new plant-powered Aveda skin care, to compassionate oncology esthetics and community giving, January is about starting softly and starting well.
2026 Hair Trends We’re Loving at Trixie’s Salon & Spa
According to Vogue, 2026 hair trends are shifting toward healthy hair, lived-in polish, and personalization... and we couldn’t agree more! At our Des Moines salon, we translate high-fashion inspiration into wearable, confidence-boosting looks for real life.
Here’s what we’re seeing (and loving) for the year ahead:
Soft side fringes and wispy, disconnected bangs
Graduated + sculpted bobs with movement. The French bob = très chic!
Rich, dimensional brunette tones and soft, wheaty blondes
Polished blowouts with effortless, lived-in volume
Hair accessories and subtle jewelry for personality
Embracing natural texture, especially sculptural curls
Modern interpretations of timeless styles like the French twist
At Trixie’s Salon & Spa, healthy hair will always be the most timeless trend. Whether you’re ready for a bold change or a subtle refresh, our team focuses on hair that looks beautiful and feels healthy.
🌿Introducing Aveda's Advanced Botanical Kinetics™ Vegan Skin Care
We’re proud to introduce Aveda Advanced Botanical Kinetics, a new generation of vegan, plant-powered skin care, coming soon to Trixies Salon & Spa.
This collection blends plant science with modern performance to support visible skin vitality. Perfect for Iowa’s dry winter months.
Why our estheticians love it:
Powered by phytotech vegan collagen to deeply hydrate and plump
Features a vegan peptide complex to support firmness and smoothness
Infused with niacinamide and caffeine to boost radiance and skin energy
Free from silicone and synthetic colorants
Dermatologist tested, cruelty-free, and sustainably minded
This line is ideal for anyone looking to simplify their routine while still seeing real results. Our estheticians personalize every skin care experience to meet your individual needs.
✨ Oncology Esthetics Care in Des Moines: Compassionate Beauty at Trixie’s
One of the most meaningful milestones this January is celebrating Katie Bennett, who is receiving her Oncology Esthetics License.
Oncology esthetics provides gentle, specialized skin care for individuals undergoing cancer treatment or recovery, with a focus on safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. This work goes far beyond skin. It’s about dignity, trust, and feeling truly cared for.
Katie’s compassion and commitment to continued education reflect the heart of Trixie’s Salon & Spa. We are honored to offer oncology esthetics care in Des Moines as part of our growing wellness services. Follow along on her journey!
💕Non-Profit of the Month: Empower Salon & Boutique
This month, we’re shining our spotlight on Empower Salon & Boutique at John Stoddard Cancer Center in Des Moines.
Their mission aligns deeply with ours: beauty as healing, care as connection, and service as love in action.
Supporting organizations like Empower allows us to extend beauty beyond our walls and into the heart of our community.
A Gentle January To-Do List for Self-Care
Before rushing into the year, here’s your reminder to slow down and pour back into yourself:
Book that hair or skin care appointment you’ve been putting off
Do one thing that supports your wellness: mind, body, or soul
Refresh your hair care, skin care, or self-care routine
Drink more water than coffee (just for today)
Rest without guilt because rest is productive
Support a small business or nonprofit that speaks to your heart
Give yourself grace as you settle into the year
Remember: you don’t have to do everything, just take the next right step
January isn’t about perfection. It’s about intention, alignment, and starting softly.
