Mastering the Art of Colour: Elevate Your Salon with 2024 Hair Colour Trends By Kristina Russell
Welcome to the future of hair colour! As we embrace the cyclical nature of fashion trends, 2024 brings a delightful blend of nostalgia and innovation. This year, the colour wheel is spinning back to the 90s, and the hues predicted to dominate are nothing short of sensational. I am super excited to reveal that Pantone’s Colour of the Year is Peach Fuzz. This means we’ll be seeing a lot of peachytoned hair inspiration photos brought to life in the salon. Peach Fuzz is softly nestled between pink and orange, which can be created in the hair on yellow, blonde bases or intermixing yellow and pinkish peach onto white or lightest blonde. I’ve been wearing my hair Peachy for a while now and love that it will be one of the hottest trends this year. It’s a twist on a golden creamy strawberry blonde that I’m confident will entice arctic blonde clients to try something new. There’s always something for Blondes, Brunettes, Redheads, and Creative colour clients within every trend to choose from. It’s our role as their Hairdresser to help excite clients and to guide them to what best suits their needs, including maintaining and lifestyle options. This article is curated to help you know what’s hot and how to implement these trends into your business to attract new clients and excite your existing clients to try something new.
These are the top 5 colours everyone will want in 2024: 1. The Reign of Reds and Coppers
Prepare for a resurgence of warmth as reds and coppers reclaim their throne. The cowgirl copper trend has paved the way for richer, more luxurious earthy reds and auburns. Blend these natural hues seamlessly with blondes and brunettes, creating a harmonious fusion that captures the essence of natural beauty. The hottest hues will be Ginger, Auburn, Mahogany, Cali Copper, and Cowgirl Copper. If you aspire to be a Hair Colourist who is confident with all colour requests, you must be confident in your hair painting redheads’ skills. My signature online course and in-person education events help hairdressers and salon owners become the go-to salon for natural Redheads and those dyeing to be one.
