You can feel it in the air, summer’s coming in hot, and your hair deserves to rise with the temps. Whether you're hitting beach bonfires, wine tastings, or just vibing your way through Arroyo Grande, this season's hair trends are giving effortless glam, no-fuss texture, and serious glow-up energy.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to switch it up—babe, this is it. Let’s dive into the top Summer 2025 hairstyle trends we’re seeing behind the chair at Muse Salon.

1. Copper Everything

Spicy. Warm. Dimensional.

Copper tones are the moment right now, and they’re not going anywhere.

From soft strawberry blondes to full-on amber fire, this shade looks killer on sun-kissed skin and photographs like a dream.

Muse Tip: Ask your stylist for a custom copper blend based on your undertones—we’ve got the perfect mix waiting for you.

2. Lived-In Texture

Say goodbye to overstyled curls and hello to soft, undone waves. Think: I-just-got-back-from-the-beach-but-make-it-chic.

This low-maintenance look is ideal for:

Naturally wavy hair
Air-dried texture with a little mousse magic
Lazy girls who still want to look hot (no judgment)

Product we love: Kérastase Mousse Bouffante. Thank us later.

3. The Airy Layered Cut

Floaty, light layers are your hair’s summer BFF. They add movement without taking away bulk, and bonus, they play nice with ponytails and beach hats.

Perfect for:

Thick-haired babes who need a little lift
Anyone wanting volume without heat styling

That perfectly “piece-y” finish that says cool without trying too hard

4. Blonde, but Make It Dimensional

We’re talkin’ soft balayage, sunlit face-framing, and low-contrast blondes that grow out like a dream. Forget flat bleach jobs—this summer is all about blending.

Perfect for:

First-time blondes
Brunettes wanting a summer glow

Anyone who loves a lived-in look with zero harsh lines

5. Gloss Is the New Color

Not ready to fully commit? No problem.

This season, glossing treatments are having their main character moment.

They add shine, boost tone, and refresh faded color all without the full-on dye job.

Book a Kérastase Gloss Absolu treatment for that reflective, silky, healthy-hair flex.

You’ll walk out looking expensive without lifting a finger.

🦋 Bonus Trend: '90s Hair Accessories Are Back

Claw clips. Mini braids. Zig-zag parts.

We didn’t make the rules—we just fully support them.

These cute throwback styles are everywhere on IG, and we’re living for it.

Pro tip: Add a claw clip post-blowout and boom: cool-girl casual.

How to Keep Your Hair Healthy All Summer Long

Summer is a whole mood, but it’s also a time when your hair can take a hit. Between sun exposure, saltwater, heat styling, and pool chlorine, your strands deserve some TLC.

👇 Your Summer Hair Survival Guide:

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Weekly masks = a non-negotiable. Ask us about our fave Kérastase treatments.
Protect your hair like your skin. Use a leave-in with UV protection before you head outside. SPF isn’t just for your face, babe.
Rinse after the beach or pool. Salt and chlorine can wreck your color. A quick rinse makes a big difference.
Clarify gently. Buildup happens fast in summer. Add a gentle clarifying shampoo to your weekly rotation (but don’t overdo it).
Trim often. More sun = faster split ends. Don’t wait 10+ weeks—let’s clean those ends up before damage takes hold.
Ask for gloss. A gloss treatment will revive your color, add insane shine, and help fight dullness from sun fade. (And yes, we’ve got one with your name on it.)
