in Scottsdale is a comfortable, artistic haven where everyone knows your name and chit chat and laughter are always in the air. To maintain the highest industry standards, we only employ beauty image artists that have advanced education and unique experiences, and a commitment to furthering their training.
As we start 2018, we are excited to look ahead to what the new year in beauty may bring our way! We asked Joey Hervey, Beauty Artist at XanderLyn, for his trend forecast. Of course, these 4 Instagram worthy looks must be shared!
1. Coral
– Surely the hottest up and coming color for the New Year. From summer to fall, the mesmerizing combination hue of bright pink and vibrant orange are comparable to a colorful sunset.
2. Rose Gold
– This trending metallic shade has just enough pink to soften a blond with red lowlights! Think pink champagne for your hair.
3. Shaved-In Parts
– Men are looking fashion-forward in 2018. And while manscaping took a little time to refine itself into a true art, shaved-in parts are so on trend.
4. Vivid Mermaid Hair
– Rainbow Hair is the color statement that has taken the world by storm! Gone are the days of playing it safe with hair color, the bolder and brighter the better. It’s all about vivid hair color, from cotton candy pink to sea foam green and sky blue!
More About Joey
Joey Hervey was born in Phoenix, AZ., but his electrifying career would allow him to live in many places, including Beverly Hills, Washington D.C. and Spain. When Joey was young, he loved accompanying his mom to the beauty salon. He adored it all – from the smell of the hair products to the vibe of being inside a salon. He specifically recalls a stylist wearing bell bottoms, a silk shirt open to his navel and a slew of gold chains around his neck. Even as a child, he knew he wanted to be just like him when he grew up! As soon as he was old enough, Joey attended American Trichology Institute, “A Redken Academy.” Through school he worked as an assistant at a prestigious salon, where he soon converted to behind the chair. His ambition and finesse would soon take him all over as he excelled even more in his craft. Now at XanderLyn Salon, Joey loves the creative energy and working with like-minded and artistic people. He is also thrilled that the salon is a training facility, since furthering his education and maintaining his stance at the forefront is so crucial. “I’m always going to push the envelope on style and be a trendsetter. I’m also a good ear for my clients!” says Joey.
Joey was named “Top Stylist in Phoenix,” by Arizona Foothills Magazine. He was also recognized as a Top Stylist in Washington D.C., has appeared in Elle Magazine and Interview Magazine. Joey currently lives in Central Phoenix and treasures his two horses, Rebel Yell and Lovie.

Until next time, have a beautiful day!

It’s taken me months to find the words to write this. From the moment I learned of her passing, the shock was overwhelming—and honestly, it still hasn’t fully settled. I know I’m not alone in that feeling. Losing someone so beautiful, so kind, and so full of life at such a young age is beyond comprehension. Every time I walk into the salon, I still feel the echoes of her presence—her warmth, her kindness, her light. She was a shining star in our lives, and her absence has left a space that can never truly be filled. I remember the way she would look at me when I told a bad dad joke—rolling her eyes, maybe, but always laughing. She appreciated the effort, and I appreciated that about her. I remember our long text conversations about her career, her dreams, and the things she was working through. I’d offer little pieces of advice, and it meant so much to see her take them to heart. We shared deep conversations in the break room and on the salon floor—about life, purpose, beliefs. Gabby was a thoughtful soul, and I was always struck by the depth of her insights and the richness of her experiences. We learned from each other, and I always looked forward to those moments with her. Gabby, you are deeply missed. You left an indelible mark on our Xamily, and your spirit will stay with us for years to come. I will always carry the sound of your laughter, the brightness of your smile, and the warmth of your heart with me. Until we meet again—thank you for being you.

As the leaves start to change and the air turns crisp, it's time to update your look and stay on top of the latest trends in hair fashion. Fall is the perfect season to experiment with new hairstyles, colors, and textures. At XanderLyn Salon, we're excited to bring you the hottest 2023 fall hair trends that will have you looking fabulous and feeling confident this autumn. Rich Autumnal Colors When it comes to hair color this fall, think deep, rich, and warm. Shades inspired by nature's autumn palette are all the rage. Consider transitioning from your summer blonde to a darker, warmer hue like chestnut brown, auburn, or even a rich copper. These shades will not only complement the season but also add depth and dimension to your locks. Face-Framing Highlights Face-framing highlights are making a comeback this fall. They're an excellent way to add a touch of brightness and dimension to your hair without going for a full-color change. Whether you opt for subtle caramel highlights or bold, chunky streaks, these face-framing accents will enhance your facial features and add a touch of radiance to your overall look. Natural Texture Embrace your natural hair texture this fall. Effortlessly tousled waves, soft curls, and even naturally straight hair are in. Say goodbye to excessive heat styling and hello to low-maintenance hair that looks effortlessly chic. At XanderLyn Salon, our stylists can help you enhance your natural texture and provide expert guidance on maintaining it. Short and Chic Short hair is making a statement this fall. Whether you're considering a trendy bob, a pixie cut, or a modern shag, shorter hairstyles are all the rage. They're not only easy to manage but also give you a fresh and youthful appearance. Our experienced stylists can work with you to find the perfect short style that suits your face shape and personal style. The Modern French Twist The classic French twist is getting a modern twist this fall. Instead of the traditional sleek and polished look, we're seeing a more relaxed and undone version. Think soft twists, loose tendrils, and a touch of messy elegance. This style is perfect for both casual and formal occasions, making it a versatile choice for the season. Accessorize with Headbands and Scarves Hair accessories are back in a big way this fall. Headbands, scarves, and hairpins are making a strong comeback. They're a simple yet effective way to add flair to your hairstyle and elevate your overall look. At XanderLyn Salon, we have a variety of stylish accessories to choose from to complete your fall look. Conclusion This fall, it's time to refresh your look and embrace the latest trends in hair fashion. From rich autumnal colors to face-framing highlights and natural textures, there are plenty of options to choose from at XanderLyn Salon. Whether you're looking for a dramatic change or a subtle update, our skilled stylists are here to help you achieve the perfect fall hairstyle.
