The Hottest Hair Colors of 2025 You’ll Be Obsessed With This Season
Spring is in the air—and what better way to shake off the winter blues than with a bold new hair color that’s as fresh and radiant as the season itself? At Martino Cartier, we believe your hair should reflect your energy, confidence, and personal style. This year, 2025’s color trends are all about playful vibrance, effortless elegance, and customized tones that turn heads while staying effortlessly wearable.
Whether you’re craving a soft pastel glow or a statement-making transformation, these are the top hair colors you’ll be seeing everywhere this spring. Ready to get inspired? Let’s dive in.
- Cherry Cola Brunette
Rich, sultry, and dimensional—Cherry Cola is taking the brunette world by storm. Think deep chocolate tones infused with subtle hints of red and burgundy, giving your hair a luminous, almost iridescent finish. It’s a perfect way to warm up your look for spring without going too light, and the multidimensional hues reflect beautifully in the sunlight.
Pro tip: Add some soft, face-framing layers and style with big, bouncy waves to make those red undertones pop even more.
- Buttercream Blonde
Say goodbye to icy platinum and hello to Buttercream Blonde—a softer, creamier take on blonde that’s both flattering and versatile. This shade blends warm vanilla, honey, and beige tones for a luminous, lived-in blonde that feels luxurious without the high maintenance.
Ideal for brightening up your overall complexion, buttercream blonde is a go-to choice for anyone looking to refresh their look without going full-on platinum.
Stylist’s pick: Pair this tone with a root smudge for effortless grow-out and dimension that lasts between salon visits.
- Soft Peach Rose
Pastels are making a major comeback but with a 2025 twist: Soft Peach Rose is the standout shade this season. This dreamy hue blends muted peach and delicate rose gold for a color that’s both whimsical and chic. It’s perfect for those who love experimenting with color but want something a little more sophisticated than cotton candy pink.
The vibe: Feminine, airy, and fresh—like a springtime glow-up in hair form.
- Expensive Brunette 2.0
You’ve heard the term before, but this year’s Expensive Brunette has been elevated to a whole new level. Think ultra-glossy, strategically placed lowlights and babylights, and rich tones that mimic natural sunlight. The secret? Depth and dimension without sacrificing softness.
This trend is all about luxe, effortless beauty—like your natural color, but with a celebrity-level upgrade.
Best for: Those who want a polished, timeless look with subtle enhancement rather than a dramatic shift.
- Ice Latte Balayage
The Ice Latte Balayage is the ideal middle ground between warm and cool tones—blending ashy beige with hints of caramel and soft blonde to create a creamy, coffee-inspired masterpiece. This look gives you that just-came-back-from-vacation glow with a low-maintenance grow-out thanks to its seamless blend.
Bonus points: The iced-latte aesthetic pairs beautifully with tousled, textured layers or a chic blunt cut for a modern twist.
- Lilac Smoke
If you’re feeling bold and want to lean into a more fashion-forward vibe this spring, Lilac Smoke might be your new obsession. This cool-toned pastel shade fuses lavender and silvery grey for a soft, ethereal feel with a bit of edge. It’s subtle enough for daily wear but striking enough to stand out.
Styling tip: A sleek bob or soft waves can make this color even more dynamic, reflecting different tones depending on the light.
- Caramel Drizzle Highlights
Spring 2025 is all about sun-kissed subtlety, and Caramel Drizzle Highlights are the perfect way to achieve that. This color technique weaves warm caramel tones through a darker base, adding softness and brightness without going full blonde. The result? Effortless dimension and that “I spent the weekend in the sun” effect—no beach required.
Pro tip: Add a gloss treatment to boost shine and extend color vibrancy all season long.
- Dusty Copper
Copper is still holding strong, but this spring it’s all about a softer, more wearable version: Dusty Copper. With muted orange undertones and a hint of pink, this shade gives off a cozy warmth that still feels bright and seasonal. It flatters a wide range of skin tones and works equally well on short cuts or flowing layers.
Why we love it: It’s bold enough to make a statement, but earthy enough to feel grounded and natural.
- High-Shine Jet Black
If you’re craving drama and contrast, nothing beats High-Shine Jet Black. Sleek, glossy, and utterly striking, this timeless color is making a major comeback in 2025—but with an emphasis on radiant, light-reflecting shine. It’s bold, elegant, and powerful, and it creates a stunning canvas for statement accessories and makeup.
For extra impact: Consider adding a glass hair treatment or keratin gloss to enhance smoothness and mirror-like shine.
- Champagne Beige
Last but certainly not least, Champagne Beige is one of the most-requested blonde shades this spring. Soft, creamy, and ultra-flattering, this shade blends neutral and golden tones for a subtle sophistication that works year-round but feels especially light and breezy for spring.
Our take: It’s the perfect “cool girl blonde”—understated, effortless, and incredibly chic.
