What’s the Hot Trends in UK Salons Right Now
Discover how Studio 8 Beauty is embracing the latest in skincare and wellness to help you glow from within.
The beauty industry in the UK is evolving faster than ever, and 2025 is shaping up to be the year of personalised skincare, sustainable choices, and tech-meets-touch treatments.
Whether you’re a skincare minimalist or a treatment enthusiast, something exciting is waiting for you in the salon chair.
Let’s dive into the top trends in the beauty world—and how Studio 8 Beauty is bringing them to life.
1) Skinimalism: Less Is Glow
Forget complicated 10-step routines. 2025 is all about “skinimalism”—focusing on fewer, high-performing products that work hard so your skin doesn’t have to.
What’s trending ?
- Lightweight, multitasking serums.
- Treatments that improve multiple concerns at once (hydration + anti-ageing + texture).
- Pro-grade facials that simplify your at-home routine.
At Studio 8 Beauty
We offer results-driven facials like BioRePeel, Dermalux LED, and AlumierMD skin peels, tailored to do more with less, leaving your skin visibly clearer, brighter and balanced.
2) Sustainable Skincare & Clean Beauty
Consumers are making conscious choices, and salons are following suit. Eco-friendly, cruelty-free and sustainably packaged skincare is no longer a trend—it’s an expectation.
What’s trending ?
- Refillable skincare or environmentally conscious packaging.
- Plant-powered active ingredients.
- Waterless and biodegradable product formulas.
At Studio 8 Beauty
We proudly use AlumierMD, a brand renowned for its clean science, recyclable packaging, and no-nasties approach. As an alternative, we also offer BeautyLab skincare, which features vegan-friendly formulations and packaging and is environmentally friendly. We also offer low-waste options and professional skincare, manicure, and pedicure products that are gentle yet effective on your skin and the planet.
3) High-Tech Meets High-Touch
Technology is transforming beauty services—from LED light therapy to digital skin analysis and AI-enhanced consultations.
What’s trending ?
- Customised skincare powered by diagnostics.
- At-home tools like LED masks & microcurrent.
- In-salon devices that deliver clinical results.
At Studio 8 Beauty
Our Dermalux LED Phototherapy and advanced treatments like CACI non-surgical facials harness light, current, and science to firm, brighten and restore your skin—backed by decades of results.
4) Wellness-First Beauty
Beauty is no longer just about what you apply—it’s how you feel. The best treatments now combine relaxation, mindfulness and skin benefits.
What’s trending ?
- Gua Sha massage.
- Mindful facials.
- Scalp therapy and sensory experiences.
At Studio 8 Beauty
Our Divine Glow Facial is a client favourite, combining skin nourishment with rose quartz massage, a warm mask and soothing acupressure. We also offer massage add-ons to create a full sensory escape.
5) Inclusivity & the Rise of Male Grooming
Men are embracing skincare, and salons are finally catching up with services and products tailored to all skin types and genders.
What’s trending ?
- Skincare routines for men.
- Non gender specific treatments.
- Scalp health and beard care.
At Studio 8 Beauty
Everyone’s welcome. We offer tailored facials for men, professional advice without jargon, and grooming services tailored to real skin needs. We also have an expertly trained and experienced male intimate waxing services expert for the best waxing experience.
