There’s nothing quite like stepping out of the salon with a fresh hair colour. It offers an instant summer glow-up and can transform your regular aesthetic.

If you’ve scrolled through TikTok, perhaps you’ve been tempted to try Cherry Cola hair or chop it all off for a feathered bob, but a subtle shift to buttery brunette or a sun-kissed peach tone is available if you don’t want a drastic new look.

Sophie Hilton, founder of Not Another Salon in Shoreditch, is on hand to predict some of this summer’s hottest trends including pink grunge and atomic blonde. 

“Cherry red is going to be the colour for those looking to push their trend limits and make a statement this summer,” Hilton says. “We’re obsessed with Dua Lipa’s cherry red hair revival, but we can’t resist a throwback to Cheryl or Rihanna circa 2010 with this exact tone.”

There’s also a resurgence in soft cool pink tones as women swap out their darker hair tones for flecks of vanilla blonde for the summer months.
