The top trends predicted to be HUGE in 2025 are coloured lashes, metallic spikes and wispy lashes!
Coloured lashes are set to be huge with Pantoneโs colour of the year being โMocha Mousseโ which is inspiring more natural toned lash extensions in shades of brown. Weโre also seeing bright colours on the catwalks with bright shades set to be a big look for summer that is well complemented by colourful lash spikes incorporated into a volume set to set off hair or eye colour, or just give a bold statement.
Shimmer was everywhere with Loewe and Miu Miu during the Spring/ Summer 2025 fashion shows hinting that metallic or glitter lash spikes are set to be huge this year to give glossy, shiny lashes looks their moment.
Make up trends that exentuate the lower lashes with bold eyeliner are set to make wispy lash extension looks very popular as the two go hand in hand. Pyramid stacking of lash fans to create stand out lash looks will be very popular with celebrities in 2025.

โOn completion of my VTCT Level 3 in Massage with The Beauty Academy, I began working in spas and salons. 5 years later, using my experience of the beauty industry, I have decided to start my own business as a Holistic Therapist. Over the years, I have attended additional training days with The Beauty Academy including facial skincare, electrical facials and teacher training.โ
What are the benefits of being a self-employed Massage Therapist?
โYou can decide when you work and organise your own schedule. Being self-employed gives you the freedom to direct your business in any direction you desire. I currently offer a variety of treatments, including Indian head massage, hot stone treatments and luxury facials. You can build up a client base of friendly and loyal clients, and support yourself financially. I love that The Beauty Academy offer a variety of courses, so I can always keep my business up-to-date with the most popular and talked about treatments!โ
What does a typical day look like?
No two days are the same which keeps my job so interesting. Iโll set up for each client beforehand in my treatment room. When the client arrives Iโll complete a consultation form to allow me to adapt the treatment to best meet their needs. Treatments typically last around an hour and then Iโll discuss aftercare and book them in for the next appointment. Its great to chat to regular clients as for many its more than just a treatment, it is a wellbeing experience โ time to take a break for a little while. I choose my own working hours which gives great work/life balance. There is also admin to do โ stock ordering, marketing, contacting clients and managing my diary so you do have to be motivated to succeed.
Whatโs next for you, Saskia?
I am looking to offer manual lymphatic drainage massage and oncology massage in the future. Iโm currently completing an online course with The Beauty Academy in lymphatic drainage so will incorporate this into my massage treatments once qualified. I would love to move into teaching in future and with the VTCT Level 3 Teaching award that Iโll have completed soon, this will be a realistic goal for me very soon! Itโs such an exciting and rewarding career to have as a massage therapist and I would recommend it to anyone!โ

With 8.5 billion views on TikTok as of May 2023, #lashextensions are one of the most searched for and in-demand beauty treatments right now, however experts in the lash industry believe clients are looking for a more natural look than in previous years. With the the โno make-up make-upโ or โskinimalismโ trend now moving into the lash industry, clients are making a return to classic individual lash styles or more natural hybrid looks, with full-on volume becoming less popular.
L-curl lashes have grown in popularity as they give the look of a natural lash that has received a lift, while still providing the extra length of extensions.
We are also seeing less use of thicker lashes, typically 0.20mm or 0.25mm were the most common lashes in use but with increased use of low-volume fans or โspikesโ, thinner lashes as low as 0.03mm are growing in their use to create a range of enhanced but still natural looks.
Soโฆ what are Angel lashes? The technique combines classic (individual) lashes with wispy light closed-volume lashes. 0.03mm lashes are used to create closed fans which are mapped around one on one, classic lashes to create a light, wispy but volumised look that imitates a more natural lash growth pattern and mapping with choppy lengths used, rather than uniform lash mapping. The angel lash technique can be used to create a range of styles from doll eye to cat eye to suit a wide range of clients.
