The Colours of Summer: Inside Salon 1606’s Spring/Summer 2026 Edit
As the seasons shift and the light softens, hair colour in 2026 takes on a quieter confidence. This spring and summer are not about extremes or fleeting trends, but about considered colour—tones that feel lived-in, radiant, and undeniably natural. At Salon 1606, we see colour as an extension of individuality, shaped by skin tone, lifestyle, and the way hair moves in natural light.
This season’s palette reflects a wider cultural shift toward authenticity and effortless beauty. Clients are seeking colour that enhances rather than overwhelms—hair that looks beautiful on the first day and continues to feel even better weeks later.
Sunlit Warmth Takes Centre Stage
Leading the season is a return to warmth. Honey, caramel, and soft golden hues dominate the Spring/Summer 2026 landscape, echoing the natural way hair lightens under the sun. These tones bring depth and dimension without harsh contrast, creating colour that appears almost untouched—yet expertly refined.
This warmth works particularly beautifully on medium to deeper bases, complementing warm and neutral skin tones while softening facial features. When paired with flowing layers or gentle waves, these shades catch the light effortlessly, creating movement and glow without the need for heavy styling.
At Salon 1606, these looks are crafted using Wella’s professional lightening and tonal systems, supported by advanced bond-protecting technology to ensure the hair remains as healthy as it looks.
Soft Pastels, Reimagined
Pastels make a subtle yet confident return this season, with peach and apricot tones replacing the icy pinks of previous years. These shades feel sun-warmed and modern—delicate without being decorative. There’s a quiet luxury to them, a softness that enhances rather than disguises natural features.
Peach hues are particularly flattering on fair to light-medium skin tones, bringing warmth to the complexion and highlighting natural texture. Styled in relaxed shapes—a long bob, gentle bends, or soft fringes—these colours feel wearable, contemporary, and undeniably fresh.
The key to their longevity lies in professional pigment selection and colour care, with Wella’s creative colour range allowing for bespoke blends that fade beautifully rather than abruptly.
Depth with a Hint of Drama
For those drawn to richer statements, Spring/Summer 2026 introduces deep greens—emerald, forest, and muted jewel tones woven subtly through darker bases. These colours are not loud; they are intentional. Often hidden within layers or revealed through movement, they add personality without overpowering the overall look.
Cooler skin tones and darker hair bases benefit most from these shades, which enhance contrast and create a sense of intrigue. When styled with soft curls or natural texture, the colour reveals itself gradually, offering a modern alternative to traditional bold tones.
Precision placement and high-performance professional colour systems ensure these hues remain glossy, dimensional, and refined.
The New Blonde: Soft, Creamy, Effortless
Blonde continues to evolve, and in 2026 it becomes more understated than ever. Icy finishes give way to creamy, barely-there blondes that feel closer to nature—beige, pearl, and soft neutral tones designed to enhance brightness without compromising hair health.
These blondes suit cooler and neutral complexions particularly well, offering lightness without stark contrast. The result is hair that looks luminous in daylight and effortlessly polished in motion.
At Salon 1606, blonde is always approached with care—using professional lightening systems paired with advanced conditioning and toning to maintain strength, softness, and shine.
Colour That Feels as Good as It Looks
What defines Spring/Summer 2026 is not just colour choice, but philosophy. At Salon 1606, every shade is created with our core belief in mind: Naturally Beautiful Hair. Colour should enhance the integrity of the hair, not compromise it. It should move, shine, and feel healthy long after you leave the salon.
Through our partnership with Wella, we use only authentic, professional products designed to protect the hair’s structure while delivering exceptional colour performance. This ensures results that are not only visually striking, but genuinely wearable and long-lasting.
A Season of Effortless Beauty
Spring and Summer 2026 invite a softer approach to colour—one rooted in light, warmth, and individuality. Whether it’s sunlit blondes, delicate pastels, rich accents, or glowing warmth, this season is about colour that fits seamlessly into your life.
At Salon 1606, we don’t chase trends—we interpret them. And this summer, beauty feels natural, confident, and unmistakably personal.
