Choose an Iconic Hair Color This Summer That'll Heat Up Your Look
When summer rolls in, it brings a natural craving for change. Longer days, sun-soaked adventures, and a whole new vibe mean it's the perfect time to refresh your look—and nothing transforms your style quite like a bold new hair color. Whether you're ready to turn heads with fiery hues or want to subtly brighten your natural tones, this summer is all about choosing an iconic hair color that’ll heat up your look.
At PR at Partners, our expert colorists are here to bring your summer hair dreams to life. Let’s dive into the trendiest shades heating up salons everywhere this season.
The Summer 2025 Color Forecast: What’s Hot
This year, hair color trends are all about vibrancy, dimension, and personality. Here’s what’s catching fire:
1. Sunlit Blonde
Blonde is a summer staple, but 2025's version is a little warmer and more natural. Think soft, golden blonde tones that mimic the natural lightening of hair from spending long days under the sun. Sunlit blonde is perfect if you're looking for a radiant, low-maintenance color that makes it look like you just stepped off the beach—even if you haven't touched a shoreline yet.
Pro Tip: Ask your PR at Partners colorist for face-framing highlights to make your features pop and add even more brightness around your smile.
2. Spicy Copper
Copper is the "it girl" color of 2025. This warm, spicy tone is universally flattering, giving your complexion a gorgeous, healthy glow. Whether you go for a soft strawberry copper or a rich, burnt orange, this shade screams summer heat.
Best for: Natural redheads who want to amplify their color, brunettes ready for a bold change, or blondes looking for a fiery twist.
3. Caramel Balayage
Balayage is still ruling the hair world for good reason: it’s beautifully blended and easy to maintain. This summer, caramel tones are dominating the balayage scene. With ribbons of warm caramel, honey, and toffee painted throughout your base color, you'll get a look that’s both luxurious and sun-kissed.
Low Maintenance Lovers: This is perfect if you want something that grows out gracefully between salon visits.
4. Cherry Cola Brunette
Brunettes, it's your time to shine! This trend adds a playful punch to deep brown hair with undertones of cherry red or plum. It’s rich, multidimensional, and glistens beautifully in the sunlight. Cherry cola brunette is perfect for anyone who wants a dramatic but wearable change without going lighter.
Hot Tip: Gloss treatments at PR at Partners can enhance the vibrancy and shine of your brunette all summer long.
5. Icy Platinum
On the cooler side of the spectrum, icy platinum continues to make a statement. This bold, almost-white blonde is high maintenance but absolutely stunning when done right. It’s an edgy choice that demands attention—and if you’re ready for it, you’ll be serving serious style all season.
Maintenance Tip: Make sure to schedule regular toning appointments and use purple shampoo to keep your platinum looking fresh.
