Start Summer on Fire: The Hottest Hair Colors to Heat Up Your Look

04. 30. 2025

Summer is the season of transformation, longer days, brighter vibes, and a perfect excuse to reinvent your style. And what better way to celebrate the sunshine than with a bold, beautiful new hair color that turns heads and sets the tone for your most confident season yet?

At Suede Salon & Spa, we’re here to make sure your summer starts on fire. Whether you’re craving sun-kissed dimension, bold statement shades, or soft pastel whispers, our expert colorists know how to craft a look that lights you up from the inside out. Here’s your guide to the hottest hair color trends of summer 2025, plus how to keep your new hue looking vibrant all season long.

1. Strawberry Copper: Summer’s Sweetest Shade

Soft, warm, and endlessly wearable, strawberry copper is this summer’s breakout star. It’s the perfect in-between for blondes looking to go red or redheads craving something brighter and more dimensional.

This rich hue catches the sunlight like a dream and adds instant glow to your skin. Bonus: it pairs beautifully with boho waves, textured lobs, and airy updos. Our colorists can customize the tone to suit your undertone, whether you lean peachy, golden, or neutral.

2. Golden Hour Blonde

Blonde is always in, but this summer we’re seeing a return to golden, buttery, sun-kissed tones that look like you’ve spent the past month beach-hopping.

Think soft honey balayage, golden babylights, and dimensional blondes with just the right amount of warmth. This trend is all about radiance, perfect for giving your skin that golden-hour glow even when you're not on vacation.

At Suede, we use premium lightening and glossing techniques to keep blondes bright and healthy, not brassy. You’ll leave the salon luminous and ready to shine.

3. Rich Brunette with Espresso Lowlights

For brunettes looking to spice things up without going lighter, this one’s for you. Deep chocolate and mocha tones are being elevated with espresso lowlights and soft, face-framing highlights to add richness, depth, and movement.

This trend is bold without being loud, think supermodel gloss and Parisian chic. It’s especially flattering in the summer sun, and easy to maintain with shine-boosting glosses and Suede’s expert color care products.

4. Peachy Rose & Pastel Pink

Soft, romantic shades are taking center stage for adventurous color lovers. From faded peach to dusty rose, these pastel tones are playful, feminine, and surprisingly versatile.

Whether you want a full head of color or just a pop of pink in your bangs or ends, pastel hues are the perfect way to show off your creative side this summer. Our stylists are pros at making these colors wearable and sophisticated, and we’ll walk you through the best maintenance plan so your pastels stay pretty, not patchy.

5. Icy Platinum & Cool Silver

Craving drama? Icy blonde and platinum are back with a vengeance. These cooler-toned shades give off high-fashion vibes while making a bold, unforgettable statement.

Going platinum requires precision and care, and we use gentle lifting techniques and professional-grade toners to ensure your hair stays strong, shiny, and even-toned. Add a silver gloss for an extra dose of cool-girl edge.

6. Caramel Melt Balayage

This summer staple is still going strong and for good reason. Caramel melt balayage blends golden and brunette tones into a seamless, sunlit finish that works on nearly every hair type and length.

It’s low-maintenance, high-impact, and effortlessly beachy. Plus, the grow-out is soft and natural, so you can enjoy your new color for months without a major upkeep commitment. It’s a favorite for good reason, and we’ll customize your melt to match your vibe.

7. Vibrant Color Blocking

If you’re feeling bold, color blocking is one of the most creative trends to try this summer. Whether it’s bold peekaboo panels, contrasting front pieces, or a duo-tone split, color blocking lets you wear your personality loud and proud.

Think electric blue with black, neon coral under platinum, or lavender bangs paired with rose gold. This trend is all about self-expression, and our colorists love helping clients go bold while keeping things polished and intentional.

Your Hair, Your Statement

The hottest hair color of the summer? The one that makes you feel like the best version of yourself. Whether you’re stepping outside your comfort zone or just adding a little seasonal sparkle, the right color can energize your entire look and boost your summer confidence.

At Suede Salon & Spa, we believe in customized color that reflects you. Our stylists are highly trained in the latest color techniques, and we use the most advanced products to protect the integrity of your hair while delivering vibrant, lasting results.
