2021 Summer Hair Trends

Want to know the summer hair trends for this year?

We are seeing dimensional blondes, the modern take on the retro shag haircut, long and voluminous layered haircuts, and blonde balayage with a bold blonde face-framing piece (called the “money piece” in our industry).  We also see guests embracing sunny blondes again versus only cool and ashy blondes.  Warm blondes are wonderful in mimicking the natural effects of the sun.

We love watching for the current hair trends for our northern Virginia community, but may we make a recommendation?

Not all trends are for every head of hair!  Many times, guests ask for the current trend not realizing that it won’t solve their hair challenges or highlight their best features.

The great thing about Salon Alure in Purcellville and Lovettsville, Virginia is that we customize every hair color, cut, and style to fit you as an individual.

Want to learn a couple neat tricks to find out what hair color tones are complementary to your skin?

Take a look at your wrist! If your veins appear to have a blue or purple hue, you likely have a cool undertone to your skin.  If they appear to have a green hue, you likely have a warm undertone.  If you can’t tell or if you see blue/purple and green, you likely have a neutral undertone.

Also check out the color of your eyes! Sometimes even if your skin indicates that a certain tone of hair will work best for you, your eye color may show the opposite. What does that mean?  You may be able to get away with both!  One complementing your skin or one complementing your eyes.  You have choices!

There are warm, cool, and neutral versions of many colors.  Even reds have cooler versions and warmer versions that can be customized to fit what would look best on you.

We invite you to come to our salon and med-spa, and let us make a professional recommendation for you!  Complete your hair makeover with some skincare love.  Our estheticians can give you a simple, relaxing spa facial or use the latest med-spa technology available through HydraFacial, Venus Bliss, and Venus Versa.  We can do everything from wrinkle reduction, skin tightening, fat reduction, photofacials, laser hair removal, dermaplaning, and more!
