This week we’ve been taking a look at industry experts top trend predictions for the coming year. Trends are more than just passing fads—they give us a glimpse into what clients might be asking for next year. Whether it’s influenced by their favourite celebrities or the influencer on their feed, trends can also be a great source of inspo for you when it’s time to offer up some fresh ideas.
TBH—there were A LOT of predicted trends (some already making waves this year), so we’ve narrowed it down to a couple of our faves. AND we want to hear your predictions, so let us know in the comments below!
Cherry Cola Red🍒
Red is making its bold return in 2025, and it’s coming in hot. While every shade of red is ready to shine, the one we’re OBSESSED with is Cherry Cola. Think deep red with chocolatey brown undertones and a soft hint of mahogany—it’s rich, sultry, and oh-so-flattering.
This trend has already graced the heads of celebs like Dove Cameron, Dua Lipa, and Cardi B, so you know it’s going to be huge. Top colourist Lauren Mildice told Glamour magazine, “This colour works on all skin types, from fair to deeper complexions, from straight hair to coils—this colour is made for everyone.”
Keep your eyes peeled 👀, as you may just be seeing this colour pop up as a course next year 😉 (Hint, hint!)
Blended Honey🍯
Now we’re not saying you will be waving good-bye to platinum blondes, BUT 2025 is all about embracing softer, more natural tones. Enter Blended Honey, a warm, sun-kissed balayage with seamless caramel and golden hues.
Celebrity stylist Rossano Ferretti describes it as “bringing warmth and richness to the forefront” and perfect for creating depth and brightness without the harsh contrast. Whether your clients have light or dark bases, this one’s versatile enough to work for everyone. It’s the perfect vibe for clients looking for that effortlessly blended, low-maintenance glow.
It just so happens we are running Flawless Freehand on 31 March 2025, so if you want to experiment with freehand work and become a pro in blended blondes, book yourself on this course!
