Spring Hair Trends of 2026: The Shades Set To Take Over Your Salon

Is there a better time of year than spring to have a colour refresh? Clients will be flooding into the salon for the ultimate change-up; most likely wanting to brighten up their locks or wanting to completely reinvent their colour. And for spring, we’re seeing a shift into bright, luxurious finishes that come with a hint of warmth. Including rich brunettes that look like liquid silk, to creamy, warm blondes, we have the spring hair trends that your clients will be asking for all season long.

‘Bessette’ Blonde

 

If your clients have been tuning into ‘Love Story’ - the biographical romance TV show that’s taking over the nation's TV screens - then they’re bound to know the new trending hair shade that viewers have been obsessed with. If there’s one blonde that’s set to dominate spring, it’s Bessette Blonde, the bright, expensive, blonde shade. Inspired by the effortlessly chic Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, this blonde shade puts the ‘old money’ in ‘aesthetic’. It blends buttery, champagne and golden tones with fine, face-framing highlights brought right up to the root for that all-over brightness. The warmth is subtle, and the finish is super chic!

Coconut Blonde

Have clients who want to go super bright this spring? That’s where Coconut Blonde comes in. Inspired by the soft tone of coconut cream, this bright blonde shade blends cool, ashy blondes with creamy, subtle warmth for a perfectly balanced blonde shade. It creates a bright, fresh finish that never looks too yellow or too dull. Creating that tropical, island girl vibe where your client looks like she’s spent weeks in the sun, Coconut Blonde is the ultimate smooth, milky tone that is beautifully bright and blended.

Strawberry Beige

If you and your client want to get super experimental in the salon, and they’re up for trying something completely new, Strawberry Beige could be the answer. This shade combines a creamy beige blonde base with delicate hints of rose gold and soft strawberry tones, creating warmth that feels intentional rather than brassy. But don’t get it twisted! The beige undertone is the key here. This keeps everything balanced to ensure a sophisticated, fresh spring-ready colour that adds just enough warmth.

Desert Caramel Blonde

Speaking of warmer shades, Desert Caramel Blonde is going to be huge this spring. This shade mixes sandy beige tones with caramel, creating a natural, sunlit effect to the hair. Desert Caramel balances the perfect level of caramel with beige to ensure the shade isn’t too warm, keeping the colour super modern. If your clients have a warmer or olive-toned complexion, this shade could be their perfect match, bringing a subtle glow to the hair, like it’s been naturally lightened by the desert sun!

Liquid Brunette

And we couldn’t forget about our brunette clients! If they want to elevate their brunette locks without creating too much change, try this rich, glossy, deep espresso shade that’s all about dimension and shine. Expensive Brunette blends warm chocolate and mocha tones to create that ultra-reflective, ‘expensive hair’ finish. This colour will catch the light beautifully, giving the hair that liquid-like effect that looks full of life. Liquid Brunette gives clients maximum impact with minimal upkeep, and whilst it won’t make a drastic change to your clients' look, it will definitely elevate it.
