Setting the Tone for Top Hair Trends at the Peak of Festival Season.

Now a long-standing fixture in the TRNSMT backstage setup since the festival’s inception, Scotland’s largest salon group, the award-winning Rainbow Room International, returned once again to the Artists’ Village, bringing with them their signature blend of technical skill, creative vision, and forward-thinking style.

Pop-Up Salon

Situated backstage beside the performers’ dressing rooms, remained a constant hub of energy throughout the weekend, supporting not just artists but their bands, management, and wider crews. The team delivered expert cuts and styling to withstand the summer heat and humid temperatures, all while setting the tone for festival hair trends right at the peak of the 2025 festival season.

Trends

“We saw a lot of Oasis-inspired styles, such as textured crops, softer mod shapes, with the Gallagher’s current tour putting that era very much back into focus“– David Nicholson, Salon Director at Rainbow Room International, Royal Exchange Square.

Hair Team

Among those joining David backstage were fellow salon directors Riccardo Corvi of Rainbow Room International Ayr, Jacqueline Curran of Rainbow Room East Kilbride, and Diana Carson, Creative Director of Rainbow Room International Uddingston, leading a team of talented stylists from across the brand’s award-winning salon network.

As ever, Rainbow Room International’s involvement also gave emerging talent from their salons the opportunity to work behind the scenes, giving younger stylists experience working in a fast-paced, artist-led environment.
