Ready for a hair refresh? Whether you’re after a soft sun-kissed glow or a bold, high-contrast finish, the latest hair colouring techniques of 2024 and 2025 are all about customization, dimension, and effortless style. From timeless balayage to trending foilyage, these techniques are perfect for clients who want to elevate their look with minimal upkeep.
Here’s a closer look at the most popular hair colouring trends this season – all of which you can offer in your salon to meet the latest demands:
1. Balayage
A modern classic, balayage is a freehand technique that creates soft, blended highlights. It gives a natural, sun-kissed finish and is ideal for low-maintenance clients, as it grows out beautifully without harsh regrowth lines.
2. Ombré
Ombré features a gradual fade from darker roots to lighter ends, delivering a striking contrast that’s both edgy and elegant. This technique works across all hair types and is great for making a bold colour statement.
3. Colour Melting
Colour melting blends multiple shades seamlessly, resulting in a smooth transition without any harsh lines. It’s perfect for creating a multi-dimensional, natural-looking colour with extra depth and richness.
4. Baby Lights
Looking for subtle brightness? Baby lights are ultra-fine highlights that mimic the natural highlights often seen in children’s hair. They add delicate dimension and are perfect for clients seeking a soft, radiant look.
5. Reverse Balayage
Reverse balayage is all about adding depth and toning down overly lightened hair. By applying darker tones near the roots and through the mid-lengths, this technique creates a richer, more lived-in finish.
6. Root Smudging / Shadow Roots
Perfect for clients who want a seamless grow-out or an edgier vibe, root smudging (also known as shadow roots) softens the transition between the roots and coloured hair. This technique pairs beautifully with vivid tones, pastels, or blondes.
7. Foilyage
A hybrid of balayage and traditional foils, foilyage involves hand-painting highlights and wrapping them in foil for extra lift and brightness. It’s ideal for clients who want a more intense, high-contrast result while still enjoying the softness of balayage.
8. Money Piece
Want to make a statement? The money piece is a bold, face-framing highlight technique that instantly brightens the complexion and adds dimension. It’s the perfect upgrade for clients looking to try something trendy without a full transformation.
