After a long, cold winter of inconvenient loadshedding, it’s time to embrace Spring and throw our salon doors open to clients ready to venture forth into the sunshine and enjoy life!
We had a look at the trends that seem on the top of mind for clients and it seems that warm tones, low maintenance, lived-in hair, soft hues and glossing are in. Copper seems to be mentioned a lot too!
So let’s look at the on-trend colours and talk to our featured South African colour suppliers about what they have for you!

According to three of the biggest names in the Australian hair industry — Jaye Edwards, Anthony Nader and Larry King — spring is the perfect time to try something new that will grow with you.
"Consumers want high-impact colour but with little fuss and upkeep," says Nader. "They want some fun and change, but without the pain of burning their hair strands off with continual colour changes."
Edwards agrees and says that the lack of experimentation he's seeing in the salon is a direct result of the times. "With the cost of living on the rise, clients are becoming more conscious of their spending," he explains. He advises his clients to work with their natural hair colour rather than against it and opts for "lived-in colours that add a little pop" that can be achieved using a root stretch technique or a quick gloss that takes about 15 minutes.
Nader is all for switching up his client's hair colour this season and he's looking to the myriad shades of copper to do so. "The copper spectrum has warm variations, but copper can also be cool in reflect, believe it or not." He's recommending an overall copper glaze to his clients: "It’s not only going to give your hair strands high voltage shine but it also makes your eye colour pop."
"'Golden Hour' is defined by those warm, golden shades that offer an on-trend alternative to cooler blonde tones than we have seen over summer," says Edwards. "It's also less damaging to your hair than the '90s blonde shades which were trending in 2022."
"TikTok’s viral 'Cherry Cola' hair colour trend is one for the Y2K fans," says Edwards. "A transition from the copper trend that dominated in 2022, this deep, cola-inspired cherry colour is the next big thing".
"This colour is also fully customisable to suit your skin tone, depending on how deep and bright you want your hair to go," he advises. Ask your hair colourist for a deep, brunette base enhanced with copper and red tones.
"It’s no secret that maintaining blonde hair can be an expensive and time-consuming exercise," says Edwards. Instead of high-maintenance blonde, hair customers are now looking to 'future-proof' colours like 'recession brunette'.
"We have seen a big increase in requests for 'natural but beautiful' hair," explains the Edwards & Co. founder.
'Au La Naturale' hair colour is in the same vein as recession brunette. Nader dubs it “the colour you have when you’re not having a colour”. However, unlike recession brunette, the 'au la naturale' trend allows you to keep your pre-existing highlights and balayage by toning them down with soft, warm tones that fuse beautifully with your post-winter skin tone.
What's freehand painting you ask? According to Nader, it's perfect "for those still finding that their natural base is a fraction too dark and requires a kick of lightness." To counter this, your hair colourist will hand paint "calculated yet under-the-radar lightness" into your hair that gives lacklustre strands some dimension again. Plus, it minimises the likelihood of regrowth or stripy hair colour. Think: naturally sun-kissed.
According to Larry King, hairstylist and founder of Larry King haircare, if there's one blonde trend to try this spring, it's 'Parisian Blonde'. "This is one for those with naturally fair hair or who have already made the move to being blonde as it’s a subtle tweak on your base hair colour," he explains. "It’s a classic golden beige but applied so finely that you can’t see where the blonde begins and ends."
King recommends requesting classic highlights with a root smudge that gives a natural blend the next time you head to the salon.
