With a new year comes the opportunity to hit the reset button and start fresh. For clients looking to create a new aesthetic when it comes to personal style, hair color not only offers a quick fix for the same-old, same-old but is also a surefire way to beat the winter doldrums.
Warmer shades are definitely trending for 2025, from cinnamon spice (a dimensional reddish-brown) to cappuccino brunette (a combination of deep coffee tones with milky highlights).
Celebrities continue to drive trends. During awards season, Dua Lipa unveiled a shade of dark brown with a burgundy tint that quickly became known as Cherry Cola. The shade adds warmth and depth to fair and medium skin tones, but it also adds dramatic flair to darker skin tones.
With these formulas and Satin Hair Color’s permanent range of expertly crafted hair color, you can duplicate both looks.
DIA LUPA’S CHERRY COLA
“This color is best achieved on natural levels 5 to 7, which allows the ‘cherry’ in the cherry cola to pop, but you can also add a pop of color to ‘faded out’ brunettes with a simple gloss applied from scalp to ends,” says Lisa Finucane, Satin Hair’s Director of Education and Sales.
