July is that funny point in summer when everyone suddenly wants their hair to look brighter, richer, softer, or somehow more expensive. Maybe it’s the vacation photos. Maybe it’s the endless golden-hour sunsets. Or maybe it’s simply the realization that the second half of the year is already around the corner. If you’ve been scrolling …
Dua Lipa’s Cherry Cola moment at the Grammys didn’t just happen—it rewired what auburn could be. Suddenly, every salon from LA to TikTok was fielding the same request: that warm, multi-dimensional red that glows like an Aperol Spritz in sunlight. The shift from flat, fire-engine reds to translucent copper-reds that mimic natural sun-bleaching isn’t a …
Ash blonde stopped being a summer fling about six months ago. I’m seeing it everywhere—Beyoncé’s high-contrast waves at the Grammys, Taylor Swift’s dishwater ash on the Eras Tour, and my own colorist’s chair booked solid through June with clients asking for the same thing: cool tones that don’t look brassy by week two. The shift …
Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Espresso’ music video dropped and suddenly every salon in a fifty-mile radius was booked solid for one thing: Nectar Blonde. Not the icy platinums we’ve been chasing for five years. Not the ashy cool-girl blondes.

Dua Lipa’s cherry-copper shift for her world tour, Megan Fahy’s strawberry copper at the Emmys, Lindsay Lohan proving it works at any age. The pattern’s obvious: we’re done with flat reds. The move is multi-tonal, expensive-looking copper that catches light like actual sunlight …
Air Touch balayage isn’t new, but what’s happening in salons right now is different. Tracey Cunningham just dropped a masterclass on root smudging with Air Touch, Romeu Felipe’s high-contrast technique is everywhere, and my feed is flooded with the before-and-afters—soft honey tones melting into champagne, mushroom brondes that actually look lived-in, peach fuzz that doesn’t …
Butter-Toffee Blonde is everywhere right now—Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” aesthetic went from music video to salon inspo in about five minutes, and suddenly everyone with tan skin is asking for that creamy, high-pigment honey-to-platinum blend. Then there’s Raw Cinnamon Brunette (Kylie’s whole “natural era” thing), Toasted Coconut’s viral reverse balayage moment, and Peach Fuzz Gold making …
Camila Morrone showed up to the LACMA Art + Film Gala with a deep mocha espresso that basically broke the internet’s obsession with brassy highlights. Then Hailey Bieber’s “Chocolate Syrup” bob happened. Then TikTok decided that Cold Brew Brunette, Black Cherry Espresso, and Raw Cacao were apparently the only three hair colors that mattered anymore. …
