Refresh Your Hair Colour for Summer at Peter Gotthard Hairdressing
Summer is the perfect time to refresh your hair colour.
Longer days, brighter clothes and holiday plans often inspire us to try something lighter, richer or more vibrant. Whether you want a subtle seasonal update or a complete colour transformation, our expert colourists at Peter Gotthard Hairdressing in Harrogate can create a look that feels fresh, flattering and beautifully suited to you.
From seamless blondes and glossy brunette balayage to bold reds and vivid fashion shades, we will help you find your perfect summer colour.
Seamless Blonde Hair Colour
Blonde hair remains a firm favourite for summer, but the most beautiful results are soft, blended and easy to wear.
Seamless blonde colour uses carefully placed highlights, balayage and toning techniques to create a natural transition between shades. The result is brighter hair without harsh lines or obvious bands of colour.
You may want creamy blonde, soft beige, cool champagne or warm golden tones. Your colourist will consider your skin tone, natural hair colour and lifestyle before recommending the right shade.
A seamless blonde can also be tailored to suit your maintenance preferences. Soft root blending and face-framing highlights can help your colour grow out more naturally between appointments.
Brunette Balayage for Summer
You do not need to go blonde to give your hair a lighter summer feel.
Brunette balayage adds soft ribbons of caramel, mocha, honey or toffee through darker hair. These tones create dimension, movement and shine while keeping the overall result rich and natural.
Balayage is a great choice if you want to brighten your hair without committing to a full colour change. The colour is hand-painted through selected sections, giving a softer and more personalised finish.
Brunette balayage can be subtle or more noticeable, depending on the look you want. A few lighter pieces around the face can make a big difference, while a fuller balayage can completely transform your colour.
Bold Red Hair Colours
Red hair colour looks especially striking in the summer light.
From glossy copper and soft strawberry blonde to deep auburn and intense cherry red, there is a shade to suit almost every skin tone and personal style.
Copper shades are perfect if you want warmth and brightness, while deeper reds create a rich, luxurious finish. Your colourist can also combine several tones to give the hair more depth and prevent the colour from looking flat.
Red pigments can fade more quickly than some other shades, particularly during summer. Sunshine, heat and swimming can all affect the vibrancy of your colour. We will recommend the best professional products and homecare routine to keep your red looking glossy for longer.
Vivid Fashion Hair Colours
Summer is also a brilliant time to have fun with your hair.
Vivid fashion colours allow you to express your personality with bold shades such as pink, purple, blue, coral or emerald green. You can choose an all-over transformation or add smaller sections for a more wearable pop of colour.
Pastel shades can create a softer finish, while highly pigmented tones deliver a stronger statement. Vivid colours can also be added through panels, face-framing pieces or hidden sections underneath the hair.
Some fashion colours require the hair to be lightened first, so a professional consultation is essential. We will assess the condition of your hair and create a colour plan designed to achieve the best result while protecting its strength and shine.
Protect Your Hair Colour During Summer
Summer can be challenging for coloured hair.
UV exposure, heated styling, chlorine and salt water can all contribute to dryness and colour fade. Using the correct shampoo, conditioner and treatments can make a noticeable difference.
At Peter Gotthard Hairdressing, we use and recommend professional Davines haircare. Our team can help you choose products that support your colour, add moisture and protect your hair between salon visits.
Wearing a hat in strong sunshine, rinsing your hair after swimming and reducing unnecessary heat styling can also help preserve your colour.
