Before you take that box dye and hair cutting shears to your precious tresses, listen up. We know it’s all fun and giggles to browse and plan for your next hair look, but let’s face it: the professionals know best. And that includes the technicality and trend foresight. The Portfolio Metamorph collection is the hair studio’s take on what’s trending in 2025 for hair.
If you’re inspired by iconic momager Kris Jenner’s sleek and fluid power bob, then you’re in luck, because that’s one of the key styles that are making it onto the studio’s radar. But if you’re more of an adventurer, sample the peekaboo hairstyle to spice things up.
As a rule of thumb, these visuals act more like a reference to the salon, so do not fear if you find these images too edgy. You still get to pick and choose the elements that are up your alley and do without those that you’re not so keen on. Even the hair masters at the hair studio will advise you on what will suit your hair and lifestyle best. We highly recommend that you talk to them about your hair care routine, including how much time you’re willing to dedicate to the styling step, because it could very well determine the kind of cut they would move forward with.
No matter your hair needs, trust that the experts at Portfolio Hair Studio will know what to do. Ahead, we speak to the salon’s creative director, William Wong, as he shares about the latest collection and the hairstyle trends he’s spotted for this year.
What has Portfolio Hair Studio detected as the biggest wave in hair style trends for 2025?
At Portfolio, we consistently draw inspiration from the fashion runways, collaborating closely with designers to align our work with the latest silhouettes, textures, and finishing details to complement the garments.
2025 hair styles are completely redefined for a modern era. We’re seeing a strong fusion of classic styles with a contemporary twist. Warm, neutral tones and timeless cuts are being reinvented with subtle, unexpected details. Rather than direct throwbacks, the styles have evolved with new techniques, updated shapes, and fresh terminology to suit today’s aesthetics and individuality. The standout trend is personalisation. Hair is becoming a true expression of individuality, with effortless, chic styles tailored to reflect each person’s unique identity.
How did you come to that conclusion?
Our approach is never one-size-fits-all. We believe in striking the perfect balance between bold experimentation and timeless classics. Every style is carefully crafted to suit an individual’s face shape, proportions, and lifestyle, ensuring that it not only enhances their features but also feels authentic to them. Our philosophy is simple: great hair should empower and inspire confidence.
Colour is also an important facet in hair style. What is the key colour palette this year?
For 2025, the colour story is all about the seasons of browns. Drawing deep inspiration from nature, this palette celebrates the rich, organic essence of earthy and mineral tones.
Think mineral-drenched taupes, sunbaked terracottas, smouldering tobaccos, and the golden undertones of Tuscan tan. It’s a shift toward shades that feel grounding, warm, and quietly luxurious, reflecting a mood of refined authenticity and vitality.
Our Metamorph 2025 collection channels this grounded elegance, embracing tones that evoke warmth, texture, and tonal complexity. These colours aren’t just flattering—they’re transformative. Whether softly blended or boldly saturated, they offer a sense of calm luxury, aligning perfectly with the shift toward conscious beauty and timeless self-expression.
Tell us what the Metamorph collection is about.
The Metamorph collection is a celebration of transformation—a journey through shifting forms, evolving structures, and redefined character. It embodies progression and fluidity, embracing the art of change.
At its core, this collection champions individualism, empowering the creation of unique identities. It seamlessly bridges the world of hair with the language of fashion, blurring boundaries to craft something bold, expressive, and unapologetically personal.
Walk us through a consultation at Portfolio.
The consultation is more than a conversation. It’s the beginning of a transformation, whether it’s a hair trim or the ultimate makeover. When a client expresses interest in the Metamorph collection, we take a deep dive into their personal journey, aesthetic preferences, and identity.
The experience begins with a one-on-one dialogue, an intuitive exploration of who they are and how they want to evolve. We discuss lifestyle, style references, and their relationship with change because Metamorph is about duality, progression, and self-expression.
Our stylists then guide the client through the visual language of the collection: sculptural shapes, fluid textures, and transformative silhouettes that blur the lines between hair and fashion. We look at how hair can become a form of wearable identity that shifts with mood, season, or as you progress in the journey of self-discovery.
From there, we tailor a unique hair journey (whether it’s a bold reinvention or a subtle evolution), ensuring the outcome reflects the individuality at the core of Metamorph. The consultation isn’t just about what’s next for the hair, it’s about discovering who you are becoming.
What about the maintenance that a client could expect from the hairstyles in the collection?
Our mantra is, “If your hair doesn’t look good, we don’t look good.” Our goal is always to create styles that are effortless to maintain while still looking their best. Each style in our collection is thoughtfully crafted to deliver maximum impact with minimal daily effort. In today’s fast-paced world, we understand the importance of saving time and reducing daily styling effort.
We take great care to tailor each hairstyle to the unique qualities of the individual, considering hair type, density, and texture, ensuring that the final result complements the client’s face shape, features and lifestyle. We generally recommend a salon visit every two to three months for trimmings or shaping and gloss treatments. This helps maintain shape, shine, and overall manageability, allowing the look to grow out gracefully between visits.
