NEW YEAR, NEW ‘DO

Nova Arts Salon is known for precise cuts and color wizardry, with artists predicting that chocolate tones and low-maintenance brunettes will shine in 2026. “The visual goal is dimension, lightness, and softness,” said color specialist Ana Aldaravi. “Color that looks like it lives in the hair, not something that’s painted on.” Ask for baby balayage or root melts for a subtle glow-up, and don’t forget to rinse with cool or lukewarm water at home to preserve colored hair. Scalp treatments are popular too, with a customized blend of natural and biodynamic ingredients to address excess oil, dryness, or hair loss, all based on a scalp micro-analysis.
