Summer is here, and with it comes the perfect excuse to refresh your look and brighten your vibe. Just like swapping out sweaters for sundresses, changing your hair color with the season can completely transform your mood and style. At 209 Salon, we believe your hair should reflect the sunshine, energy, and freedom of summer. Whether you're craving golden highlights, bold pastels, or a subtle dimensional refresh, our expert colorists are ready to create the perfect custom color to suit your summer glow.
Let’s dive into this season’s top color trends and how you can embrace your best summer hair yet.
Golden Hour Blondes Blondes are having their moment again. But this summer, it's all about warm, golden, buttery tones that mimic the sun’s natural kiss. Think soft honey, champagne, and baby blonde with a lived-in, effortless finish. Unlike the stark, icy blondes of winter, these shades are softer, shinier, and feel sun-drenched in the best way possible.
Dimensional Brunettes Don’t be fooled—summer hair color isn’t just about going blonde. Rich, multi-dimensional brunette shades are stealing the spotlight. From chocolate mocha to cinnamon and caramel balayage, these hues add depth and shimmer, especially when paired with soft waves that catch the sunlight.
Copper Crush Copper and strawberry tones are making waves this summer literally. If you’re ready to turn heads, copper is the bold yet wearable choice that suits a wide range of skin tones. The secret to getting this look right is customizing the warmth and intensity based on your undertones. Whether you opt for a light strawberry glaze or a deeper, rusted copper, this fiery color adds vibrancy and personality to your summer style.
Pastel Dreams & Fantasy Hues Summer is the season to play, and what better time to embrace your inner unicorn than now? Soft pastel pinks, lavenders, and baby blues are trending hard, along with bold mermaid tones and hidden rainbow panels for those who want to keep it fun but subtle.
Lived-In Highlights & Balayage The “I woke up like this” hair color trend isn’t going anywhere. Lived-in color like balayage, root smudging, and soft ombré offers a natural, sun-kissed effect with low maintenance. These techniques are perfect for summer travelers or anyone who wants gorgeous color without monthly touch-ups.
Color + Care = Summer Hair That Shines At 209 Salon, we don’t just focus on the color, we focus on the health of your hair. Summer brings sun, chlorine, and salt water, all of which can impact your color and your hair’s condition. That’s why we recommend pairing your new shade with salon-quality treatments like:
Bond-building treatments to prevent damage from lightening
Glazes and glosses for added shine and tone correction
Color-safe shampoos and conditioners that lock in vibrancy
UV-protection sprays to guard against sun damage
