5 Luxurious Hair Colour Trends Clients Will Be Asking For This Season

When it comes to colour trends in 2026, there’s no surprise that clients want effortlessly natural, expensive-looking hair. We’ve seen a shift from the overly bright, one-dimensional shades to colours that feel softer and full of depth but, of course, luxurious. If your clients are blonde, brunette, or somewhere in between, we have five trending luxurious hair shades your clients are going to love, along with the formulas to achieve them.

If your blonde clients are looking for something cooler, without feeling too icy, Mushroom Blonde is the perfect choice. Sitting perfectly between blonde and brunette, this sophisticated shade combines soft ash tones with subtle chocolate influences to create a beautifully balanced finish. The result is a multi-dimensional blonde that looks natural and super modern. To create this look, we love shade 10:16 from VelvaSilk for its cool, earthy tone while still maintaining softness and shine.

 

Rich brunettes are truly making a comeback, and Midnight Brunette is leading the way. This deep, luxurious brunette sits just on the edge of black, creating that inky finish with cool, reflective undertones. It’s a bold shade but doesn’t feel too harsh, making it the perfect option for clients wanting a glossy statement brunette this summer. For this trend, VelvaSilk’s 4:77 shade creates the ultimate cool-toned brunette with incredible depth and shine.

 

If there’s one blonde shade that’s taking over salons this summer, it’s Champagne Blonde. It’s soft, sophisticated and undeniably luxurious, basically everything your blonde clients are going to want. This shade blends pale gold, beige and delicate pearl tones to create a neutral blonde that looks effortlessly expensive. Unlike cooler, more platinum shades, this colour offers warmth without appearing too brassy, making it one of the most wearable blondes for the summer. Recreate Champagne Blonde with your clients using shade 8:13 from VelvaSilk to achieve that signature champagne glow.

 

For clients who can’t decide between blonde and brunette, Mocha Cream is the perfect compromise. This rich bronde shade blends soft mocha tones with creamy blonde ribbons to create a beautiful dimension throughout the hair. The finish feels warm, glossy and incredibly natural, making it ideal for clients wanting a softer, lower-maintenance colour. VelvaSilk’s shade 9:07 is perfect for achieving this creamy, chocolate-inspired finish.

 

Quiet luxury continues to influence hair colour trends, and Cashmere Blonde captures it perfectly. This timeless blonde shade features soft beige tones with neutral-to-slightly-warm undertones, creating a refined finish that looks polished and elegant. Worn with a softly blended root, Cashmere Blonde grows out beautifully, while maintaining its expensive-looking finish. To achieve this luxurious shade, reach for VelvaSilk’s T:06. This is a natural beige toner that enhances shine while refining blonde hair with a soft, creamy dimension. We’re obsessed!

Luxurious hair colour embraces the rich brunettes, creamy blondes and beautifully blended bronde shades confirmed to look natural and full of dimension at every appointment. These five shades prove that subtle colour doesn’t have to be boring, but with the right formulation and finish, they’re the perfect way to give clients that luxurious, low-maintenance hair they want this season.
