It’s not just the weather that’s warming up. With spring in the air and hats off, many feel the need for an annual style renewal.

Read on for fresh color inspiration before you book an appointment with your colorist.
California-based razor cut, color, and curly specialist Ellie Lundberg is extremely insightful in her hair color forecasts. “My prediction for hair color in 2025 is WARMTH,” Ellie states. It’s only fitting to complement the season’s uplifted atmosphere with the matching hair hues.
If you want to add dimension and a natural glow to your hair, opt for a soft, sun-kissed balayage. We love how seamlessly this look grows out!

Penny copper will look particularly stunning on fair to medium skin tones. It’s rich and dramatic – just the right choice for a bold personality.

Buttery golden blonde is a great choice if you want to lighten your look without veering into platinum shades. It’s ideal if you enjoy classic, polished styles with a bit of glam.

“I love having flecks of gold in the right hair color for my clients to keep things bright and natural looking,” shares Ellie.
The Pennsylvanian blonde and balayage specialist Jess Nields foresees the rise of cool-toned blondes and dimensional brunettes.
“I’m talking bright, bold blondes,” explains Jess. Such shades look fabulous with cool complexions and help neutralize any redness in the skin. Ask your colorist about the proper maintenance routine to keep brassiness at bay.

We weren’t a tiny bit surprised to see espresso martini brunette on the list. “Natural, dimensional brunette balayages are making a comeback,” Jess affirms.

British blonde, bronde, and balayage specialist Paige Danielle, who has been in the industry for over 10 years now, reckons that rich, natural tones will be trending this season.
Not keen on frequent touch-ups? You don’t have to worry with brondes or natural blondes. They brighten your natural hair color without creating the dreaded harsh regrowth line – perfect for a lived-in look!

If a little extra effort doesn’t intimidate you, a bright creamy blonde will help you pep up the look for the spring. It’s an ideal shade to pair with bold fashion choices and brighter makeup.

Natural brunettes might pull off a richer shade with as little as a good gloss treatment. Or try a whole new shade of rich brunettes. If your natural hair color is on the lighter side, talk to your colorist first to understand the maintenance expectations.

Sydney-based color expert Caio Lingers anticipates the growth of yummy, glossy hair shades for the spring.
Torn between going blonde or adding a glint of red to your hair? Strawberry blonde will give you “an authentic look without sacrificing the lightness of blonde.” It ranges from subtle, almost pastel hues to richer shades that verge on copper – finetune the shade to match your complexion.

Need the ultimate beach-inspired color? Here’s shine blonde for you! “This shade captures the essence of golden hour, with soft, sun-kissed highlights that mimic the natural glow of the sun,” explains Caio.
