Summer Hair Trends of 2025
Published date 05 June 2025
Summer is just around the corner, and it’s time for hairdressers to get to know the hair colour trends clients will be asking for all season long. From vibrant peekaboo highlights to an array of soft buttery blondes, this season is all about creativity, customisation, and a healthy glow of colour. Let’s dive into our rounded-up summer shades your clients are going to love, plus, we’ve added our favourite Quif colour formulas so you can recreate these shades with confidence!
Peekaboo highlights
The playful peekaboo highlight trend is back, but this time with a twist. These highlights are all about placing hidden pops of colour beneath the top layers of the hair, offering your clients the chance to play around with any colour. Think pastel pink, electric blues, or soft purples to add some fun to the finished look!
How to create Peekaboo Highlights using Quif:
Lift the client's hair using Quif Magi:light+ Premium Lightener and choose your client's colour of choice using Blast Semi-Permanent Hair Colour. Use shade ‘White Lightning’ to pastelise or a conditioner of your choice to dial down any intense colour. All of these shades are intermixable, so have fun with them!
Revival of Red
Remember Rihanna’s iconic 2010 red hair debut that resulted in a global obsession? Well, it’s back. The revival of red is back this summer, and there are more than a few tones we’re currently obsessed with. Think rich cherry cola, spicy tangerine copper, and a dreamy strawberry blonde. Still offering depth and softness, these looks don’t compromise on individuality and are perfect for clients craving something bolder this summertime.

Not-So-Basic Brunette
We’re not forgetting about brunettes this summer; in fact, brunettes are getting a major upgrade. This summer, it’s all about high-shine, high-gloss brunette that brings richness and depth to your client's look. Think mocha mousse, liquid brunette, and deep espresso tones that all embody a mirror-like shine.
