Summer Hair Color Trends in Toronto
Summer color requests tend to lean the same direction — brighter, sun-kissed, and low-maintenance enough to survive humidity, pool chlorine, and a busier social calendar. Here's what's coming up most in consultations this season.
Lived-In Blonde Over Solid Blonde
Fewer clients are asking for a uniform, all-over blonde and more are asking for a softer, multi-tonal blonde that grows out without an obvious line — easier to maintain between root touch-ups.
Face-Framing Balayage
Rather than full-head balayage, many clients are opting for face-framing pieces — brighter money pieces around the face that lighten the overall look without the cost or upkeep of a full balayage.
Gloss Refreshes to Beat Brassiness
Summer sun and chlorine both pull warmth into lightened hair faster; a Gloss & Toner Refresh (from $75) between full appointments is the easiest way to keep blonde or balayage from turning brassy mid-season.
Booking a Summer Color Consultation
Every color service at Gloss Beauty starts with a consultation with Tetiana, Owner & Master Colorist, who evaluates your hair before recommending a technique and pricing it individually.
