The world is awash with colour as we embrace the new normal. Here we speak to some of the best in the industry to find out the colours your clients will be craving this summer.

HAIR

VIVID AND VIBRANT

“Our regular clients have either booked in for a mix of their usual vivid tones or have decided to strip the old colour and go for something completely new. Throughout lockdown I experimented on wigs and dolls and found so many new techniques so they’re eager to try a new look,” says Jeseca.

Jeseca McMahon

It’s easy to understand the desire for brighter, bolder colour as clients have had a lot of time to think about what they want to try next! For Jeseca McMahon of Son of a Bleach, Stourport, it’s always been about the most vibrant shades.

Adele Clarke, of Spectrum Hair, St Helen’s, says clients are looking for colour that boosts their confidence.

She says:” it’s a time of reinvention. We will have the cautious people who want to go for lighter, brighter tones to lift their mood, but without the high maintenance but there will also be those clients who want to completely break the mould and throw caution to the wind!”

Nikita Fisher of Palmer Fisher, London agrees.

Nikita Fisher

“Although I like to encourage my clients to not follow trends, I think a lot of them will be up for doing something completely different this summer and looking to experiment with colour.

I think face-framing and money piece styles will be hugely popular, with lots of coppers and glossy tones – bringing back those ‘90s vibes.”

ILLUMINATED! Here Goldwell Master Colourist Safy Burton shares her SS21 colour forecasts.

#2 Key colour trend that my clients ask for

#1 When I think of SS21 colour I’m thinking…Perfect Pastels We’ve seen a huge increase in the use of pastels, with shades such as mint green, lilac, rose and peach trending for the season. It’s all about a light and fresh vibe.

It has to be cosy copper tones.

Before lockdown there was huge demand for beautiful, rich copper tones and they’re here to stay for the summer, but we’ll see them in lighter, more subtle shades. Also, expect to see glowing copper become the colour of the year for redheads!

#3 Where I find my colour inspiration I am inspired by everything I see; from nature and flowers to the sun rising and setting and all the transitions in between,

whether that’s in the sky or on the ground.

#4 Why Goldwell Elumen is the perfect tool for SS21 trends Elumen is one of my favourite colour ranges and is the perfect tool for these trends as it’s great for both natural and vivid tones. Elumen gives the hair an incredible multi-tonal effect, like applying lipgloss - which leaves the hair striking and ready to stand out.

RAINBOWL AND

“For me there are two key trends,” says Darrel. “First, it’s about fiery red; think ruby and fire shades that are eyecatching, warm and strong. Next, it’s peach blossom, inspired by last years’ pastels but taking it a step further by adding warm blonde and fiery reds at the roots. Think a peach balayage!”

Adele Clarke

There are no limits when it comes to vivid colour this season. For Darrel Starkey of Taylor’s Hair Studio it’s all about celebrating individuality as clients look towards bold choices.

A RIOT OF COLOUR We spoke to some members of Pulp Riot’s Riot Squad to find out which brights they’re most looking forward to for summer.

“This year, more than ever, people are looking for fun and excitement! For me that means tons of bright and bold pops of colour and of course - lots and lots of pink.” @karathomsonhair

“The key colours that most of my clients are asking for range from super icy tones to silvers and greys, which are an absolute dream to achieve with the Pulp Riot High Speed Toners. My clients also love vivid shades so it’s lots of sunshine yellows, vibrant pinks and beautiful blues.

I like to call them headturners!” @douglasreidhair

“I think summer will present two polar opposites when it comes to hair colour. There will be some clients who are now used to their natural hair and will want to keep it more low maintenance. But there is also another group of clients who are used to working from home and I predict they will be after bright and experimental hair colours. Think creative colour bleeds, holographic hair and bright panels.” @lorettamarie_hair

Demand has never been higher as men across the globe are experimenting with longer lengths, but also want a professional touch once more. Here, Jonathan Andrew, Fudge Professional Global Brand Ambassador and Jim Shaw of Toni & Guy Billericay break down the top men’s trends.

SCALP CARE As men grow more interested in taking care of their hair and scalp, Jonathan says this is a great time to educate them on the right products.

LONG AND SHORT Fudge Ambassador Jonathan Andrew says 2021

“I definitely encourage my clients to have a proper shampoo and conditioning routine, instead of just grabbing whatever’s at hand. I like to focus on the benefits of a proper routine and also encourage guys to pay closer attention to what styling products they’re using. I like Fudge Professional Salt Spray for light weight grip and hold that won’t put too much pressure on the scalp as well as the Fudge Professional Blow Dry Aqua Primer ; it contains Hyaluronic Acid which helps to seal in hydration.

“When it comes to my tools, I’m definitely seeing a return to the diffuser; not only for setting hair in place but allowing me to create shape and texture and to mold and manipulate the hair better.”

will see two key trends…

Jim Shaw, owner of Toni&Guy Billericay breaks

“For me, it’s about short hair and longer hair, with the main reason stemming from two factors of 2020: some men decided to shave their own hair during lockdown, while others decided they would finally try to grow their hair out, seeing it as a great opportunity.

“As such I expect to see more longer and textured hair coming through and also feel this might lead to guys adding in some colour for the summer.

Another trend I’m seeing is on the guys who shaved their hair; they’ve grown used to it and are enjoying playing with shorter textured hair, so we can definitely expect crops to be big this season.”

down the trends he’s most looking forward to.

#1 Short and textured cuts have been on the rise and I predict will be the most popular cuts for men. This look works best when the sides are kept a little shorter than the top and emphasis is made on adding texture to the top of the hair.

#2 Military long takes its inspiration from the classic military cut but has added length on top. The key to this look is keeping the sides and back shaved fairly close to the skin and the hair on top being left longer than usual; this provides movement and a disconnected look.

#3 High top fade, like a lot of hairstyles and fashion, this is making a comeback.

Popular in the ‘80s and ‘90s, the high top fade is all about clean, precise lines with a gradient on the sides. I particularly love this look on those with curly, afro and textured hair; it feels very fresh and works well at highlighting a client’s facial features.

#4 Ashy, smoky greys and platinum are great colour options for men who want to give their style a very fashion-led look. For those who like to stand out platinum is a great choice but for those who really want to make a statement, I predict turquoise and blues will be major.

HAIR

After months of substandard DIY efforts and excessive length, your clients are no doubt buzzing to get back to blonde. We spoke to some of our faves to find out their bold blonde predictions for SS21.

For industry award-winner Anne Veck, the consultation is key, whether it’s for a new or existing blonde client.

“With many clients returning to the salon with large regrowth and most likely wanting to return immediately to their blonde looks you want to ensure you get it right,” says Anne.

Anne Veck

“Discuss with your client exactly what they want; how blonde do they want to go? Are they willing to change the shape of their hair? It’s also important to know their full hair history so you’ll need to go as far back as the length of their hair, around three years if it’s passed their shoulders.”

a beautiful pink hue. And it’s a trend that’s catching on.

“The pink wash sits over the copper gold base, achieving a beautiful rose gold,” explains Tim, but this gorgeous tone isn’t just for redheads.

You can expect blushing blondes to be highly requested in the salon or with your mobile clients.

Low maintenance and lived-in blondes

Where to start

Blushing Blondes This summer is all about celebrating blondes and embracing something new. For Darrel Starkey of Taylor’s Hair Studio, that means the Blushing Blonde.

“Following on from the Rose Gold trend of the past few years, we’re moving the trend on and taking inspiration from a pink diamond and pastel palette – think pretty and creative,” says Darrel.

Tim Scott-Wright says summer is all about his globally blonde trend, where a stunning rose gold is added to natural red hair, resulting in

At Lily’s Hair Salon in Norfolk, owner Alice Harvey says it’s all about sandy blonde shades and giving low maintenance options this summer.

“Keeping things low maintenance with a rooted blonde blending into much brighter freehand highlights is a great alternative for clients who simply want to enhance their natural shade.

Freehand highlights are a perfect technique to build lighter ends while maintaining dimension; I love the Goldwell Elumen toning range for that perfect multi-dimensional blonde,” shares Alice.

For Goldwell Master Colourist Safy Burton, it’s about building on the natural blonde shades that clients embraced during 2020.

“It’s time to make the most of the lived-in look which means cooling down all the brighter shades and adding warmth elsewhere, with shades such as honey blonde,” says Safy.

Dylan McConnachie, of Dylan McConnachie Hair agrees, saying it’s all about enhancing the clients’ natural hair colour. This also means they can leave longer periods of time in between colour appointments. Dylan explains: “As we move towards Summer, clients will be opting for that beautiful, relaxed, lived-in blonde – sun- kissed and beachy: it’s all about that golden hour effect.

Instead of a bold and heavy change, the colour choice will enhance the client’s natural colour and complement their complexion and natural texture.”

Take care With all blondes, it’s important to leave the hair as healthy as possible, and even when you’re creating the most beautiful blondes possible, it could go to 16

waste if you don’t educate your clients on aftercare. Thankfully, says OSMO ambassador and salon owner Becky Sutherland, caring for blonde hair has never been easier.

“It’s important to recommend purple shampoos and masks to your newly blonde clients. I love OSMO’s Super Silver No Yellow Shampoo as it’s perfect for ensuring blondes stay brighter for longer in-between visits and they only need to use it once or twice a week to keep yellow at bay,” says Becky.

Bold future For co-founder and Creative Director of The Manicure Company Eoin Cotter, summer is all about graphic looks and lines.

“Summer will be full of graphic nail art that incorporates negative space designs as well as creative takes on the classic French manicures and ombre sets,” says Eoin. He also points out that one of the benefits of lockdown has been how it allowed pro’s to take the time to really perfect their nail art.

He says lines are going to be a key trend this summer: “We’re seeing lots graphic lines in bright colours applied over a natural or sheer base and the two trends together really make for a beautiful statement.

“Over the past months short nails have been popular but I think the summer will see a return to longer lengths as clients prepare for staycations.

prediction means keeping an eye on social media.

“After conducting a poll on my Instagram, 86 percent of my clients said they planned on choosing a bright colour for their first appointment back in the salon,” says Holly. And those brights are sitting alongside the increasingly popular trend for pastel tones.

“While the pandemic sort of created a halt on everything, including a lot of trends, it’s a good idea to watch what is being dictated by influencers in the nail world,” says Julie-Anne.

“Someone will create something and boom, all of a sudden it’s the next big thing! This means it’s super important for anyone in the nail industry to keep a close eye on social platforms, especially Instagram, if they want to keep up to date.”

Julie-Anne Lariviére

For Julie-Anne, the key trends will be still be tortoiseshell, the French manicure, stone/marble effects and mismatched nail art.

After experimenting throughout lockdown, many nail techs are unleashing their creative talent and throwing out the rule book, mixing and matching a range of techniques and styles, such as negative space, geometric or animal print designs. Julie-Anne says it’s also a mixed bag when it comes to nail shape, as clients will embrace everything from long coffins to short squares.

When it comes to colour choices, Julie-Anne says: “Think bright and bold; oranges, blues and bright pinks but muted nudes will also shine.”

Holly says, “Pastels have been massive, whether it’s one colour or using a selection or using them to create a French manicure.

But I also think metallics will be huge. There’s been a return to using chrome powders, as they give such an amazing, reflective finish and can easily be combined with different colours, plus they’re easily incorporated into a Gel Manicure.”

Holly says gold detailing will also be a huge trend, but perhaps even more importantly, the desire for hand and nail treatments is on the rise.

“With the increased hand washing and sanitising, clients are keen to work on improving the condition of their hands. I offer a Hand & Nail Treatment as so many clients are dealing with dry skin and cuticles. The treatment includes a gentle exfoliation, hand mask and an extra nourishing hand balm; it’s all about offering the ultimate pampering treatment to reveal noticeable results on the hands,” says Holly.

TANNING TRENDS Over the next five years spray tanning is set to explode.

Industry reports put it down to a diversified audience and it makes a lot of sense. The market is growing in two key sectors; men’s tanning, which has steadily been on the rise over the past few years, but more recently, women of colour are picking up tanning products. It seems everyone, whatever their tone, is wanting to add a glow to their skin and tanning has become an essential luxury.

way to keep colour golden for clients who like to build up gradually.

HEAVY This is a great option for those clients who have felt they have really missed out on their usual travels. Think frequent fliers and the super-busy who don’t have time to keep up with regular appointments. Even though you’re offering a deeper, darker result, be sure to inform them on how to take care of it and to avoid looking patchy over time.

TRY: White To Brown Remember, your clients have been cooped up indoors for months which means they’ve missed out on those occasional afternoons in the sun that give even the palest amongst us a nice, gradual tan. With that in mind, think about your tanning offerings; a good place to start is to think of different depths: light, medium and dark.

LIGHT Ideal for women of colour who have found that their skin appears more dull after working from home for several months. Offering a light spray tan will bring some life back into the skin and by adding some shimmer post-spray you can show them just how much they can benefit from a regular tanning treatment.

brow styling and work on getting hair growth back to a soft texture that can only come from waxing – rather than the sharp uncomfortable stubble that shaving leaves behind. We also need to help build clients’ self-confidence and self-esteem back up as many of them would have had to forego their regular waxing appointments for months; never underestimate what clean, smooth hair-free skin can do for someone’s confidence!

There could also be some re-education for clients who have become complacent or comfortable with their DIY treatments and just need reminding of all the benefits a professional wax can give.

Expert and Salon System Educator shares her waxing predictions for 2021

Covid has impacted all sectors of the hair and beauty industry and the waxing sector is no exception. With long lockdowns our clients have had to look to DIY hair removing methods, and as much as we have encouraged them to avoid shaving, we can’t expect them to live with unwanted hair growth for such long periods of time!

Clients would have used shavers and creams and even home waxing systems, all of which would have made an impact on their hair texture and hair growth cycles and might even have caused trauma, skin damage – even skin allergies.

As your clients return you will see noticeable changes to their growth patterns and cycles and you’ll need to work out regular appointments to bring hair growth back into a more manageable cycle.

Think about managing and possibly correcting at-home

MOST-REQUESTED As summer approaches the most sought-after treatments will be bikini, Hollywood and Brazilians, back and chest as well as legs and underarm, Plus, your clients will be lining up for a good brow re-style.

Waxing and wax products have changed so much for the better over the last few years and companies are constantly looking for new improved formulas. This is true for Salon System as it continually works on providing wax products that don’t just remove hair, but remove it with ease and care for the skin in the gentle way.

As well as striving for amazing formulations it also works towards sustainability, recently introducing a new wax that has recyclable packaging and a line of vegan-friendly products.

This fabulous new hot wax is part of the Salon System JUST WAX Expert range and has a beautiful zesty aroma, low melting temperature with a soft creamy texture and offers superior client comfort with a fast but incredible flexibility.
