Spring/Summer 2025 Hair Colour & Cut Trends
This season’s hair trends are all about luxurious colour and low-maintenance style - with a little help from the celebrity set. From Sabrina Carpenter’s creamy blonde to Dua Lipa’s deep Cherry Cola hue, the tones are richer, and the cuts are sleeker. We spoke to the expert stylists at Blo Bar in Dickens Yard, one of Ealing’s most loved salons, to get their take on the shades and shapes set to dominate the coming months.
Buttery Blonde – The Creamy Hue Taking Over
If there’s one blonde making waves this season, it’s Buttery Blonde - a warm, rich tone inspired by Sabrina Carpenter. This colour is the answer for anyone looking to go lighter without the harshness of platinum or ash.
“We LOVE this creamy, luxe blonde!!” the team at Blo Bar enthuse. “It’s warm without looking brassy. When creating this look at Blo Bar, we blend soft golden and beige tones with ultra-fine lowlights for depth.”
To keep this colour glossy and salon-fresh? “We always recommend a purple-toning shampoo once a week and a professional gloss every few weeks. Buttery blonde looks incredible on neutral to warm skin tones, and medium to thick hair gives it that plush, expensive finish.”

Cherry Cola – The Bold Brunette with Depth
For brunettes who want something a little different, Cherry Cola is the trend to watch. With its rich chocolate base and subtle red undertones, it’s the kind of colour that catches the light and turns heads.
“Cherry Cola is the ultimate bold brunette,” say the stylists at Blo Bar. “We work with a rich chocolate base and layer in red wine undertones for that glossy, multidimensional effect.”
Blo Bar uses YUV, a professional hair colour line that’s vegan, cruelty-free, and free from ammonia and PPD - perfect for those who want vibrant results without compromising hair health.
“To maintain it, we suggest a colour-protecting conditioner and minimal heat styling to avoid fading. This tone suits darker natural bases beautifully and complements olive and deeper skin tones especially well.”

The Charlotte Cut – A Modern Classic
When it comes to haircuts, sleek minimalism is back in a big way. The Charlotte Cut - inspired by the polished aesthetic of Sex and the City's Charlotte York - is a refined, shoulder-length style with subtle layers and plenty of bounce.
“This shoulder-length, polished cut is a modern classic we’re loving,” Blo Bar’s stylists tell us. “It’s super on trend for spring/summer 2025 - so get your appointments booked in!”
Designed to be low-effort yet high-impact, this cut is ideal for busy professionals and chic minimalists alike. “It’s about clean, minimal layers with a bouncy, ‘rich girl’ blowout. After your cut, we recommend using a lightweight blow-dry cream to protect against heat and maintain the smoothness.”
It flatters oval, heart, and square face shapes and grows out beautifully over time.
The Italian Bob – Blunt Meets Effortless
Bob haircuts are sticking around, but this season it’s all about the Italian Bob—a full, structured shape softened with internal texturising for an undone, effortless finish.
“Think effortless luxury,” say the Blo Bar team. “When cutting the Italian Bob, we create a blunt, full shape but soften the edges with internal texturizing to stop it feeling too heavy.”
Styled with a touch of mousse and dry texture spray, this look adds instant sophistication without needing a full blow-dry. “It works brilliantly on most face shapes and is especially great for finer hair that needs more body and thickness. It’s an effortlessly easy hairstyle - and we love it!”
Feathered Layers – A ’70s Revival, Refined
Feathered Layers are making a major comeback—this time with a lighter, more natural twist. The goal? Volume and movement without the bulk.
“Feathered layers are back and they’re all about soft movement and volume,” say the stylists. “We cut these layers carefully to enhance the client’s natural texture, keeping them airy rather than chunky.”
These layers are ideal for medium to thick hair and flatter oval, round, and heart-shaped faces with their face-framing lift.
“To style at home, we recommend a round brush blowout and a volumising spray to lift the roots.”
