Coachella Hair 2025 is all about bold volume, effortless texture, and statement styles that turn heads under the desert sun. This year’s festival-goers — especially A-list celebrities — are embracing long, thick, and curly hairstyles that radiate both glam and freedom.
From boho waves to extra voluminous curls, Coachella has once again proven to be the ultimate playground for creative hair looks. If you’re a salon owner looking for inspiration to update your styling menu, these trending festival hairstyles are exactly what your clients will be asking for.
Long, voluminous hair stole the show at Coachella’s first weekend.
Long and Thick Hair Takes the Spotlight
During the first weekend of Coachella, long and voluminous hair became the unexpected star of the show. Celebrities like Lisa, Jennie, and Cardi B turned heads with their flowing, waist-length locks — radiating both elegance and a fashion-forward edge. Meanwhile, stars such as Becky G, Charli XCX, and Hailey Bieber opted for styles that emphasized thick, bouncy volume rather than intricate styling.
This year’s festival season marks a noticeable shift: instead of overly styled or experimental looks, many artists embraced simplicity. The focus was less on elaborate braids or accessories, and more on showcasing healthy, full-bodied hair. For salon owners, this trend signals a rising demand for natural volume, extensions, and hair care routines that enhance length and thickness — all while keeping things effortlessly cool.

Also sporting platinum blonde, Lady Gaga appeared with her iconic, edgy look. Known for her unique and bold style, Lady Gaga always delivers striking appearances.

The Striking Presence of Unique Bangs
Long, voluminous hair or a bold hair color has always been a go-to choice for artists aiming for a head-turning look. However, at this year’s Coachella, many stars stood out thanks to their eye-catching bangs.
Lady Gaga took the stage with ultra-short bangs that sat above her eyebrows — a daring detail that added an extra edge to her appearance. Similarly, artists like Maria Zardoya and Clairo made bangs the centerpiece of their hairstyles. Paired with voluminous waves, their bangs created a stylish and fashion-forward vibe.
And of course, we can’t forget Lisa. Performing outdoors in windy conditions, her signature bangs stayed perfectly in place — once again sparking conversation about her iconic style.
Bangs become a celebrity favorite
What this means for salon owners:
Bangs are back in the spotlight — not just any bangs, but those with personality. From ultra-short and edgy to soft and voluminous, they offer clients an easy way to transform their look without changing their entire style. Consider recommending tailored bang styles to your clients, especially those looking to refresh their look while staying on-trend.
