Housed within a purpose-built, [bubblegum pink pod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cafe-airbush) on the lower ground floor, the lozenge-shaped mini-salon accommodates a hairwashing area, and space for three styling positions in front of a mirrored wall.

The choices represent hairstyles from key fashion eras, including the 1940s, Rita Hayworth-inspired Expensive Hair; 1960s, Biba-influenced Super-straight; the 1980s, Cindy Crawford-esque Big and Bouncy, and the ultra-modern Wavy Gravy, as seen on Kate Moss. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Blowdry Bars:** Creating convenient and affordable hair styling options for customers without the need for appointments. - **In-store Salons:** Integrating hair salons within retail spaces to offer a unique shopping experience and cater to customers' beauty needs. - **Retro-inspired Hairstyles:** Bringing back classic hairstyles from different fashion eras to provide customers with a nostalgic and trendy hair styling experience. ### Where This Applies - **Retail:** Retailers can explore the integration of in-store blowdry bars to attract more customers and increase foot traffic in their stores. - **Beauty:** The beauty industry can capitalize on the growing demand for convenient hair styling options by expanding their salon services to include blowdry bars. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can partner with blowdry bars to offer customers complete fashion and beauty experiences, enhancing brand loyalty and customer engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Light Therapy Beauty Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-light-salon.md) - [Hair-Styling Hotel Amenities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-beauty.md) - [Tech-Driven In-Store Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harrods.md) - [Immersive Haircare Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-gloss.md) - [Pet-and-Owner Salons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/short-bark-and-sides.md) - [Secret Salon Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salon-x.md) - [Hair Brand Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alli-webb-launches-messy-hair-care.md) - [Convenient Wig Styling Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wig-styling.md) - [Clean Beauty Salon Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blo-blow-dry-bar-and-bare-minerals.md)
