Celebrities are certainly the biggest influencers for hair colour trends, and we are seeing a fabulous array of pink hues donning all the best Instagram feeds. Pink is popular from celebs in their twenties – Maisie Williams –ย right through to their seventies – Helen Mirren.ย Whether it is Pink‘s muted pastel pink or Katy Perry‘s Bubblegum pink – there is a shade for absolutely everyone.ย Whilst the pink hair trend has been around for a while now, it is still one of the best ways to transform your style and express your playful personality! We usually see a rise in requests for pastel colour hair in the spring months, and more recently we are seeing clients adopt a Barbiecore look with hot Barbie pinks and purples!ย 

Pink is much more achievable if you have a blonde base to start with. If you’re a brunette, it can be harder to go pink as you have to pre-lighten your hair in order for the pink to show up.

Consider having a Balayage incorporating pink tones to avoid totally bleaching your hair. We believe in maintaining the health of your hair, so if we don’t think we can achieve pink in one session, then we will be honest with you.

If we have to lighten your hair to achieve pink showing up, then we strongly recommend adding Olaplex into your colour service to help fix the disulfide bonds broken during the chemical process.ย 

It’s also important to note that fashion colours like Pink don’t last as long as natural colours, they fade pretty quickly. So it is worth investing in a professional colour shampoo to give your fave shade the best chance of longevity. We loveย Olaplex Shampoo & Conditionerย to maintain your colour whilst hydrating your hair. Our regular colour clients often opt for a brighter tone when in the salon, knowing that it will fade to their desired tone after a few washes.

So, in short, is Pink for you?

ย 

โœ”ย You don’t wash your hair daily.ย โŒย If you are at the gym or swim regularly, then pink is going to wash out really quickly.

โœ”ย You love a little attention – Obviously a subtler pastel tone won’t draw quite so much attention as bubblegum pinkย ๐Ÿ˜‰

โœ”ย You have blonde or light brown hair – It’s going to be a lot easier to get to pink.ย โŒย If you have jet black hair, we’d advise against an all-over pink. The Kardashians spend hours and many sessions getting from black hair to platinum, then to pink…let alone the level of maintenance that’s needed as it grows out!

โœ”ย You care about looking after your hair. If your hair has been pre-lightened to go pink, then it’s going to be more dry than usual and will need a little TLC to keep up that salon finish.

We always recommend a colour consultation with one of our stylists. This is a chance to discuss your desired look, with inspiration pictures if you have them. We can also conduct the skin test (at least 48hrs before your colour appointment) and take a strand test if there is any doubt about what shade can be achieved.

ย It’s easy to book your Colour Consultation – Call us orย book online.
