Vibrant Jewel Tones

Jewel tones make it big this season, mainly emerald green, sapphire blue, and amethyst purple adding drama and elegance for partying at night or a festive gathering. They are the perfect accent colours for sleek updos and glamorous waves, paired best with metallic or sequined costumes, bringing on a bold look.

For those who want to experiment subtly, jewel tones can be added as balayage streaks or dip-dye accents. Colour-safe shampoos and gloss treatments every now and then ensure that these shadows remain radiant.

Champagne Blonde and Bronde Balayage

Timeless and classy, champagne blonde and bronde balayage are always in fashion for those seeking a chic, understated look. Champagne blonde carries a golden, luminous glow, while bronde balayage [a combination of blonde and brunette], and adds depth and dimension for a sun-kissed effect that can easily go into the festive season.

Pair champagne blonde with soft waves or a sleek blowout for an effortlessly elegant appearance. Bronde balayage works wonders with textured ponytails or tousled curls, adding a relaxed yet stylish vibe. Professional toners and regular touch-ups are a must for maintaining the smooth transitions that these shades are celebrated for.

Warm and Cozy Hues

Autumn hues including copper, chestnut and cinnamon brown swept into vogue with the first days of cooler weather. Golden tones are the new “in” shades and thus complement all skin tones, adding to the natural beauty.

Copper tones add a soft glow to the face, but chestnut and cinnamon shades give a deep, rich dimension. These colour shades look amazing in soft waves, romantic updos, or sleek ponytails. Match the warm hues with gold accessories and warm-toned makeup for an attractive party look.

Neon and pastel hues for the bold and daring

Trendy on all the younger generations; bright and playful options have recently been introduced for styling for parties. Neon, like neon pink, and neon green, pastel lavenders, and baby blue shades, help define uniqueness and creativity.

Neon hues are perfect for rave parties and vibrant gatherings, while pastel shades bring a softer, whimsical charm. For clients hesitant to commit to these bold colours, try temporary options like hair chalks or semi-permanent dyes as loose curls or edgy ponytails.

Subtle Glosses and Tints
