Sun-Kissed Style: The Best Summer Haircuts for Women in 2025

May 15 2025

As summer returns to Staten Island, the energy shifts. Rooftop cocktails, lazy beach days, and outdoor concerts demand not just fresh wardrobes but also refreshed hair. At Meraki, we believe your hair should be as radiant and effortless as your summer plans. That’s why we’ve curated the season’s top haircut trends to keep you feeling cool, confident, and chic, no matter the humidity index.

Whether you're seeking something bold, low-maintenance, or subtly refreshed, our expert stylists at Meraki are here to tailor every cut to your unique face shape, hair texture, and lifestyle. Here's your guide to the must-have summer haircuts for women in 2025, all ready to inspire your next look.

1. The French Bob: Short, Sweet, and Sophisticated

Minimalist yet striking, the French bob continues to make waves this season. It’s a timeless silhouette—usually chin-length, often paired with a blunt fringe that flatters virtually every face shape.

Why it's great for summer:

• Keeps your neck cool.
  

• Dries quickly for that post-beach air-dry moment.
  

• It pairs beautifully with both natural texture and sleek blowouts.
  

We customize the French bob to suit your bone structure, whether you want soft angles or bold lines. And if you're not ready to commit to bangs? We’ll show you ways to fake the look without the full cut.

2. Layered Lobs: The Breezy In-Between

Can’t decide between going short or staying long? The layered lob (long bob) is your sweet spot. Falling anywhere between the collarbone and shoulders, this cut is incredibly versatile and effortlessly stylish.

What makes it perfect for summer:

• Works with waves, curls, or a sleek straight style.
  

• Adds body and texture without the weight.
  

• Looks fabulous whether you’re at the office or on the coast of Montauk.
  

We love enhancing lob cuts with subtle internal layers and face-framing pieces for a sun-kissed, movement-rich result. Paired with a gloss treatment, your hair will catch the light all season long.

3. The Shag Revival: Rock-and-Roll Meets Beachy Cool

Retro vibes are in full swing this summer, and the modern shag is leading the charge. With choppy layers, curtain bangs, and tons of volume, it’s the ultimate “woke up like this” look.

Why women are loving it:

• It’s edgy without being overdone.
  

• Embraces your hair’s natural texture, especially waves and curls.
  

• Easy to style with minimal effort or heat.
  

Our stylists will tailor your shag to ensure it works with your hair density and curl pattern, making it a truly custom look that evolves beautifully as it grows out.

4. Blunt and Bold: Straight Lines, Strong Impact

For those craving a more dramatic transformation, the blunt cut is both bold and minimalist. Whether it’s shoulder-length or cropped, a precision-cut blunt style makes a serious fashion statement perfect for power moves in the heat.

Why it works:

• Clean lines are sleek and elegant.
  

• Requires little daily styling.
  

• Elevates even the most casual summer outfit.
  

Our stylists use advanced precision techniques to create razor-sharp finishes that stay stunning between appointments. Add a glass-like shine treatment for that mirror-smooth finish.

5. Long Layers with Bangs: Boho Summer Energy

Long hair isn’t off the table for summer it just needs the right shape. By adding soft layers and fringe, you can keep the length you love while lightening things up for the warmer weather.

Ideal for:

• Maintaining your ponytail and updo options.
  

• Adding dimension and movement.
  

• Refreshing your look without a drastic change.
  

We’re seeing a big comeback of curtain bangs and wispy layers, especially when paired with sunkissed highlights or balayage for that effortless, beach-ready glow.
