2019 came with a whole load of baggage (fear not, we're not going to go into that right now), and according to Treatwell's yearly findings, a shed load of beauty bookings too. Enlightening stats from the online booking company highlight the treatment preferences of the UK and, with the platform boasting over 20,000 salons and spas on its roster – as well as taking bookings from around 25,000 customers daily – it's fair to say that these numbers mean a good deal. So let's get going.

JOMO Is Officially On The Up

Friday night used to be the 'out out' night of choice, but it seems that throughout 2019, there were an average of 88,000 bookings made on Friday nights. This out performed the statistics of any other night of the week. Moral of the story? If you're looking to bump into the well-groomed members of the population at a bar, try Thursday or Saturday night instead.

The Fleabag Effect

March saw the release of Fleabag Season 2, and the UK went mad for it. So much so that there was a noticeable spike in short haircut bookings, we're talking bobs, lobs, you name it, and we're putting that trend entirely down to that Phoebe Waller-Bridge flair.

Tooth Gems Are Back

They used to be the quirky accessory adopted by Spice Girls and noughties S Club 7 members alike, but with a staggering rise of 971% in bookings, it looks like that sparkling dental accessory is back. Look to the likes of Adwoa Aboah for inspo. Watch out for glittery teeth next year.

Carey Mulligan Short Haircuts Hairstyles

Carey Mulligan - famous for starring in The Great Gatsby (2013), An Education (2009) and more - has elfin beauty which means she can pull off pretty much any haircut she likes. This sandy pixie crop has got to be our favourite though.

Carey Mulligan made her pixie crop red carpet ready with retro finger curls, taking inspiration from her character Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby. We're not sure we could pull off '20s hair and makeup as well.

Emma Watson Short Haircuts Hairstyles

Emma Watson's post-Potter haircut is still one of our favourite hair transformations of all time. She told The Metro back in 2010 that the choice to cut her hair was an ode to the end of the Harry Potter era and also signified her desire to establish her own identity, separate from Hermione Granger.

You may know Faye Marsay as The Waif in Game of Thrones, but off-screen she's all modern-day glamour. Her cropped bob is sleek and sophisticated, and her dark eyes and lips increase the drama of her look.

Kate Mara Short Haircuts Hairstyles

Actress Kate Mara's boyish pixie crop is one of the coolest celebrity haircuts ever. The House of Cards (2013) and The Martian (2015) star has a strong jawline and feminine features which means she can pull off shorter hair.

We also love Kate Mara's slick wet-look take on the pixie hair trend. The extreme side parting makes it dynamic (but we're betting there is a lot of hairspray involved).

For a more laid-back, girl-next-door look, Kate Mara styled her pixie crop with waves and casually-swept fringe. She is our modern-day pixie crop icon.

Ginnifer Goodwin Short Haircuts Hairstyles

Actress Ginnifer Goodwin's - known for Walk the Line (2005) and Zootropolis (2016) - rocks an asymmetrical pixie crop hairstyle really well. Her pixie facial features hold the hairstyle on its own, so we bet it takes her roughly a minute to style every morning.

Singer Halsey's 20s-style retro finger-curled pixie crop is sleek and chic, and the pink tinge to the blonde colour adds glamour and drama.

Bond girl Lea Seydoux's short haircut is just on the verge of crossing into bob territory. It's incredibly feminine - just like her - and the bold lip adds drama. We have such a girl-crush on Lea.

Michelle Williams once said that men hate her short hair. According to the Manchester by the Sea actress, the signature style was cut in memory of Heath Ledger: 'I cut it for the one straight man who has ever liked short hair and I wear it in memorial of somebody who really loved it.'

Amber Rose is famous for her bleached shaved cut, but it is definitely one for the brave. We're not sure she would look as cool if she wore her hair any differently.

Actress Zendaya's boy-cut curtains hairstyle really shouldn't work, but somehow it really does. Wear with conviction - dramatic makeup and statement jewellery - to execute this look well.

Australian actress Elizabeth Debicki - who played Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby (2013), and has since been in TV shows such as The Night Manager - undoubtedly suits shot hair. The blonde side-swept pixie crop complements her bone structure and delicate facial features.

Kristen Stewart's super-short bleached bob haircut is top of our haircut lust list right now. And we're loving the dirty-blonde roots - they add a coolness to the look (and letting your roots grow out is a great way to save money at the salon).

Vampire Diaries* star Lucy Fry used to have thick long blonde hair, but her slick pixie haircut is oh-so cool. Though, we think her Cara-esque eyebrows are what make this look so awesome.

Spanish actress Paz Vega's voluminous pixie crop is perfect for pulling off statement makeup looks. The OA (2016) and Spanglish (2004) star has pulled off all hair lengths, but with a face like hers it wouldn't be hard to.

Oscar winner Charlize Theron gave her pixie crop a modern feel with blonde highlights, but the small quiff is definitely a glimpse back to boyband the fashion of the Noughties.

In ode to her profession, Anne Hathaway cut her hair short for her all-encompassing role in Les Miserables (2012). At first she hated it, but even she can't deny that the boyish cut actually suits her feminine facial features perfectly.

Frankie Bridge, 1/5 of the girlband The Saturdays, is well-known for going for the ultimate chop. She cut her long brunette hair into a boyish pixie cut with shave sides and full fringe years ago, and we love it. It perfectly complements her delicate and pretty facial features.

Hollywood sensation Jennifer Lawrence has also joined the ranks of A-listers who have experimented with short hair. She styled hers in a boyish quiff at the Oscars in 2014, but styled it with silver jewellery and a red ballgown. The overall effect was so cool.

Jennifer Lawrence looked very girl-next-door with her short hair swept across her face. She made it more Hollywood-glamour by putting highlights through it.

Actress Jessica Alba styled her blonde bob in waves for the Hollywood-glamour effect, and she looked very pretty.

Young Jessica Alba looked very Noughties with her poker-straight blonde bob. We're not sure this will be a look she will be revisiting though...

Jessica Alba experimented with her short hairdo, but putting extreme poodle curls for the Marilyn Effect. We much prefer her hair more natural.

Victoria upped her short-hair game again and again. This time her pob was slick-back and glamorous, and her smoky eye makeup added to the drama.

Victoria Beckham is the queen of short hair. Her graduated bob, or should we say 'pob' (posh bob) was the hair trend of the time.

Victoria Beckham's Noughties boyish crop was a dramatic departure from her Spice Girls look - a Hollywood reboot.

Model Agnes Deyn is well-known for her short hair, and for good reason. Her jawline carries short hair really well, and it also looked good bleach blonde.

We think that Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry looks best with short dark hair - it complements her beautiful facial features and elongates her top frame.

Vanessa Hudgens made a dramatic hair transformation in 2011 when she cut her hair into a short crop - far away from her long princess hair in High School Musical.

After her days of being a Disney sweetheart, singer and actress Demi Lovato experimented with short hair, including with colour and lengths. Rock chick chic.

Miley Cyrus seemed to change her personality overnight under the spotlight's glare. The sweet country singer and star of Disney's Hannah Montana had pretty standard teenage hair up until 2012, when she injected some glamour into her look and rocked a balayage bob. In 2013, however, she did a full 180 and debuted a bleach blonde pixie crop. By pairing this staple short mop with provocative and wild outfits she quickly became someone we could not take our eyes off.

When Rihanna cut her hair short she played around with lengths and colours constantly. It was like she had new hair every week.

Rihanna has had tried every hairstyle it seems. Since the days of 'Pon de Replay' back in 2005 she has tried an array of looks and made-over her hair from one extreme to another, sometimes a few times in one year. Although her hairstyles are ephemeral they leave a lasting impression; we adored her bright red 'Only Girl In The World' crop in 2010.

Katie Holmes rocked short hair in the Noughties, and with great success. We love this casual side-swept boyish crop and smoky eye combo.

Heroes* actress Hayden Panettiere has also gone for the cop and worn her hair in a crop hairstyle. The swept-back golden looks great with her California girl style.
