From Cool Tones to Sun-Kissed Spice: The Summer Color Shift Stylists Are Obsessing Over

It’s official—cool tones are taking a back seat this summer.
While icy blondes and ashy brunettes had their moment, 2025 is warming up in more ways than one. This season, stylists everywhere are leaning into

At The Warehouse Salon in DeLand, FL, we’re seeing this color shift in real time—and we’re here for it.

Why the Warmth? Why Now?

Trends don’t change by accident. There’s a reason warm tones are dominating:

• They look amazing in summer lighting

• They grow out more naturally than ashier shades

• They enhance skin tone and bring glow to the face

• They add softness and dimension to flat color

Plus, post-pandemic beauty has been all about ease—and sunlit warmth fits the low-maintenance bill beautifully.

What Is “Sun-Kissed Spice”?

It’s more than just “warm hair.” It’s a curated mix of tones that mimic the way sunlight naturally touches and softens your hair.

Picture this:

• Golden caramel

• Amber blonde

• Honey balayage

• Cinnamon brunette

• Copper-tinted glosses

It’s multidimensional, glowy, and flattering across a wide range of hair types and base colors.

Who Can Pull It Off?

Everyone.

Whether you're a blonde, brunette, or redhead, warm tones can be customized to suit your undertone and your style. Our stylists use face-framing techniques, root smudging, and strategic lightening to create the most natural-looking warmth.

Fair skin? Try honey and golden champagne.
Medium tones? Think cinnamon, copper, and amber.
Deeper complexions? Rich espresso with warm caramel ribbons adds gorgeous dimension.

Is This Look High Maintenance?

Not at all. In fact, this is one of the reasons stylists love it.

Warm tones:

• Blend better as they fade

• Don’t turn muddy or gray like some cool colors

• Can be maintained with simple glosses and toning conditioners every 4–6 weeks

Want to go even lower maintenance? Try a sun-kissed balayage or rooted blend that grows out softly and stays beautiful in between appointments.

Products That Keep the Glow Going

To keep your new color vibrant all summer, we recommend:

• Color-safe shampoo with UV protection

• Bond-building masks (like K18 or Olaplex)

• Toning glosses to refresh warmth without brass

• Leave-ins that shield from chlorine and salt water
