Seasonal Colour Trends Hair Dye Shades Birmingham Stylists Are Loving

2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for hair colour enthusiasts in Birmingham. This season, it’s all about nuanced tones that are subtle enough for everyday life yet bold enough to make a statement—whether you’re strolling through Birmingham Fashion Week or enjoying a lively night out in Digbeth.

Are you ready to switch up your hair colour game? This blog dives into three key trends set to dominate this year’s hair dye scene. From soft rose-gold blondes to cool sandy brunettes and muted lavender pastels, we’ll cover which shades suit your skin undertones, how to maintain their vibrancy, and why The Beauty Station Birmingham is your go-to salon for a flawless look.

Soft Rose Gold Blonde

What Is It

Soft rose gold is a striking blend of pale blonde and warm pink-copper hues. It offers a luminous “just-blushing” effect under natural light and has quickly become a favourite for anyone looking to add warmth and dimension to their look.

Who Should Try It

• Skin Undertones
• • Warm to Neutral: Peachy-pink tones complement warm or neutral skin tones beautifully without looking orange.
  • Cool: A cooler rose-gold variant with less orange ensures it doesn’t clash with pale or cool-toned skin.
• Original Hair Colour
• • Best suited to natural light-to-medium blondes or pre-lightened brunettes. Darker bases will require extra lifting for an even application.

How to Maintain the Colour

• Wash with Care
• • Use a sulphate-free colour-protecting shampoo, such as Joico Color Balance Pink, to prevent the colour from fading. Complement with a rose-toning conditioner weekly to keep the vibrancy intact.
• Protect from Heat
• • Apply a thermal shield spray when styling to minimise brassiness caused by heat.
• Refresh Regularly
• • Schedule a toner refresh every 6–8 weeks to keep it looking as radiant as day one.

How We Achieve This Look at The Beauty Station

At The Beauty Station Birmingham, we customise every rose-gold transformation with precision. Our experts use Wella Koleston Perfect and Illumina shades to match your skin tone under various lighting conditions. With a plex-infused bleach protocol (e.g., Olaplex Bond Multiplier), we ensure minimal hair damage while elevating the colour to perfection.

For quick touch-ups, we offer a 30-minute "Rose-Gold Refresher" toner service to keep your hue glowing all season long.

Cool Sandy Brunette

What Is It

This trend is all about soft, ash-toned brown hues balanced with golden-beige highlights. The result? A sun-drenched, natural look that works under both daylight and studio lights.

Who Should Try It

• Skin Undertones
• • Neutral to Cool: The ashy base pairs wonderfully with porcelain or olive complexions.
  • Medium Warm: Add golden-beige babylights to soften the ash tones, ensuring warmth against your skin.
• Original Hair Colour
• • Perfect for natural brunettes or dark blondes requiring only lightening by 1–2 levels.

How to Maintain the Colour

• Toning Shampoo
• • Use a purple or blue-toned shampoo weekly to counteract orange or red undertones.
• Gloss Treatments
• • Regular gloss treatments keep the cuticle smooth and boost the overall shine.
• Sun Protection
• • Protect colour longevity by applying a UV-protective mist before stepping out into the sun.
• Combat Hard Water
• • Use a shower head filter to prevent mineral buildup if you live in Birmingham with its hard water supply.

How We Achieve This Look at The Beauty Station

Our stylists specialise in freehand balayage and babylight techniques for seamless results. By applying Wella Blondor and Illumina Cool Brown dyes, we ensure an effortlessly blended, natural effect. Every sandy brunette service at The Beauty Station includes a bond-protecting treatment to keep your hair healthy and vibrant.

For ongoing care, consider our “Sandy Glow” package, which bundles gloss refreshes and deep conditioning sessions at a reduced rate.

Muted Lavender Pastels

What Is It

Muted lavender pastel hues are more understated than bright lavender, offering a soft, ethereal look that’s modern and wearable. This shade has just the right touch of “soft grunge” for anyone who wants to experiment with pastels without going too candy-coloured.

Who Should Try It

• Skin Undertones
• • Cool: Complements pink or blue undertones beautifully.
  • Neutral: Works well with either a warmer or cooler lavender variant, depending on individual preferences.
  • Warm: Consider grey-based lavender tones to avoid clashing with golden undertones.
• Original Hair Colour
• • A pale blonde base (level 9–10) is essential for achieving this look. Darker hair may need up to three lifts for full accuracy.

How to Maintain the Colour

• Pigmented Products
• • Use violet-toned shampoos, such as Fanola No Yellow, to keep the lavender from fading to grey.
• Weekly Masks
• • Apply a lavender-pigmented mask to refresh and enhance its depth weekly.
• Minimal Heat
• • Avoid excessive heat styling, which can accelerate fading.

How We Achieve This Look at The Beauty Station

We blend Pravana Chromasilk Pastels with Kevin Murphy Angel Wash for a balanced lavender tone. Our pre-lightening process ensures optimal results by lifting hair safely with Olaplex-infused formulas. After your lavender pastel transformation, our “Lavender Lock-In” post-treatment seals the pigment and enhances overall hair shine.

Want to pair this bold shade with the perfect festival attire? It’s ideal for summer events like Tramlines Festival.
