Low-maintenance, cool-toned, earthy brunette. Boasts minimal upkeep. Add some balayage or highlights peppered throughout the mid-lengths and ends.
Baby Balayage
A finer and more understated version of traditional balayage. Described as “delicately hand-painted highlights at the tips”.
Copper Apricot

A tangy shade merging apricot, strawberry, and peach tones. Can be worn as balayage, all-over color, or highlights; requires less maintenance. Easy to create, as hair naturally warms up when lifted.
Expensive Brunette
Rich, opulent brunette shades with a glossy finish. Described as “quiet luxury” hair; requires regular trims and maintenance for the glossy appearance.
Caramelised Peach
Occupies a space between blonde, brunette, and copper. Suitable for various personalities and haircut styles; works well on layered cuts.
Opalising (Platinum Blonde)
Blending subtle blue, violet, and pink tones for dimension. Also referred to as “celestial silver” or “pearlescent white”; requires regular maintenance.
Atomic Blonde
Involves “deep teasing” with a natural color at the root and melting into mid-lengths and ends at different levels. Inspired by the atomic age and retro-futurism. Suitable for those with dark hair, brows, and eyes.
Grey Contouring
Using deep, graphite tones to make dark eyes pop. Specific sections of hair are dyed for a statement; grey as a trend rather than just accepting grey hair.
Root Melting
Graduated, dark-to-light look starting at the roots and flowing seamlessly into mid-lengths. Reduces the appearance of regrowth and offers lower maintenance.
Champagne Blonde
Warm, golden hues as an alternative to icy blonde tones. Regrowth is less noticeable with a richer tone.
Smoked Lavender

Sonic Silver

Inspired by Paco Rabanne and H&M collaboration; a beige, silver ash tone. Represents a nod to the ’90s and brings designer aesthetics to a new audience.
Midnight Navy
Blue within a grey palette; predicted to be a key tone in 2024. Particularly stunning on textured hair and curls, providing intense shine.
