Top Hair Colour Trends for 2025: What Every Salon Should Know
Now into April 2025, we welcome a new look Colorissimo to your salon shelves! In celebration of our relaunch, we want to highlight how our 94 colours are the perfect match for all of the upcoming trends in 2025. Our curated list highlights the colours and techniques that will define this year, catching your clients eyes and we can give you the tools to smash every challenging request with our unbeatable value range. So let’s see what we can expect in the salon throughout 2025:
1. Luminous Opals
2025 is all about ethereal beauty, and luminous opal tones are leading the charge. Think soft pearlescent shades with a mix of iridescent lavender, blush pink and icy silver. This multidimensional trend is perfect for clients looking to make a subtle yet stunning statement. Use Colorissimo’s Violet Metallic, Grey Silver and Rose Metallic ranges to achieve this shimmering effect that plays beautifully under natural and artificial light.
Pro Tip: Combine balayage and babylights to create seamless transitions between opal hues, giving the hair a natural, glowing finish.
2. Rich Espresso to Mocha Melt
Deep, luxurious browns are making a big comeback. We were all introduced to Pantone’s shade of the year back in November: Mocha Mousse and the ripple effect of the trend with drive rich espresso and mocha tone requests to your chair, often paired with subtle caramel or honey highlights. These are the go-to choice for clients seeking an understated elegant look. Our Chocolate, Cocoa and Golden shades work wonders for adding depth and shine to natural brunettes while maintaining a low-maintenance appeal.
Pro Tip: Colorissimo’s nourishing ingredients mean that our colours give a rich glossy finish to these deep tones, making every strand look salon-fresh.
3. Bold Neon Highlights
For those who love to turn heads, bold highlights are the trend of the year! Vibrant electric blues, fiery oranges, and radiant reds can be strategically placed for a pop of colour that’s both playful and edgy. This look is ideal for clients who want to express their individuality and want to try a little experimental spirit in 2025.
Pro Tip: Pre-lighten the sections for these bold highlights using Colorissimo’s Blue Bleaching Powder to ensure the colours pop without compromising hair health.
4. Frosted Pastels
Pastels remain a client favourite, but this year they’re getting a frosty twist. Think icy mint, frosted lilac and chilled peach tones that offer a cool, sophisticated edge. These shades are particularly appealing for those looking to embrace colour in their look without going too bold.
Pro Tip: Incorporate a cool-toned gloss after colouring to enhance the frosty effect and prolong the vibrancy of the pastels.
5. Warm Golden Reds
Fiery hues are evolving into softer, golden-red tones in 2025. These shades, reminiscent of autumn leaves are great options all year round and offer the perfect balance of warmth and radiance. Whether it’s a full head of golden copper or subtle strawberry blonde highlights, there is a golden red tone to complement every skin tone.
Pro Tip: Use Colorissimo’s Copper and Chestnut ranges as the perfect partner!
6. Gradient Shadow Roots
The shadow root trend is stepping up its game in 2025 with gradient blends. Instead of stark contrasts, expect to see roots melting seamlessly into lighter or brighter ends. This technique adds dimension and allows for longer periods between touch-ups, making it a hit with your busy clients.
Pro Tip: Offer a custom gradient service for clients you know visit the salon infrequently to ensure beautifully blended results that last long after they’ve left your chair.
7. Natural Dimension
Embracing natural hair colour doesn’t mean settling for simplicity. This trend focuses on enhancing natural tones with subtle highlights and lowlights to create depth and texture. Ideal for clients who want an effortless looking chic look, this trend celebrates the beauty of minimalism.
