Take a walk around midtown and it won’t be long before you realize that Sacramento has a wealth of hair salons. Trendy, fancy, casual, fun salons -- it's clear that we live in a city that cares a great deal about its hair.

Spring brings many new hair trends, and the Sacramento Press checked into a few salons to see what's new, what's next and what's hot.

The economy hasn't had too much of a negative impact on salon owners, apparently. Many of them said that business has never been better.

“Last year was one of our best years,” said Keri Carr, the owner of Honey Salon. The economy has had an effect on the styles that woman have chosen for spring. The boho/hippie look is popular and women have been going back to more natural colors such as browns and reds. By eliminating highlights and bleaching, the upkeep is cheaper and frequent trips to the salon aren't necessary.

Also last year's popular bubble bob is no longer the "it" thing. Women are looking for a more sun-kissed, day-at-the-beach look, with longer, flowing hair. This look also saves money because women don't have to keep coming back for a cut to keep the shape of the bob.

According to Gigi Bui, a stylist at Deeda Salon, “A lot of clients are waiting ten to twelve weeks or longer instead of six to eight, as well as alternating their cut and color.”

What was the verdict on men's hair? Men seem to be taking a chance this season with color and letting their hair grow out a lot more. Shannon Marlin who owns Lush and Spanish Fly, said color has rarely been seen in the past. “Men have been getting some color or highlights, that’s different,” she said.

According to Chelsea Lyons of Midtown Mosaic salon, “A lot of the women that have come in want to go lighter, not like platinum blonde but like a Jennifer Aniston look.” Magic Salon, which has the most reviews on yelp.com, is starting something new next month: recession Wednesdays for people that are having a hard time. Magic is cutting down prices the first Wednesday of the month for people that can’t afford regular prices. Stylist Justine Harrod said, “We are doing our part in helping people afford to be able to still come to a salon.”
