Style Inspiration: Cloud Dancer by Andrew Smith

There has been so much talk about Pantones colour of 2026 ‘CLOUD DANCER’ and I for one am totally here for it 🤍.

Now, we all know that Pantone predictions aren’t directly aimed at the hairdressing industry nor would we actually want it to be, personally I believe it to have more relevance to fashion, textiles and furnishings but as it’s always a huge buzz over socials I believe to ignore it would be a wasted opportunity.

CLOUD DANCER doesn’t necessarily mean plain white - there are so many variations of white and each provokes a different feeling. Stark white, creamy white, buttery white, pearl white - just to name a few. 

For me white is a strong symbol of peace and tranquillity, starting from fresh and new beginnings, calming and soothing, dreamy and day dreaming.

I’m totally a day dreamer and constantly looking up to the sky so CLOUD DANCER it’s a yes from me
