Fresh Colour for a New Season

Late-Summer Hair Colour Ideas at Anthony James Hair Salon in Halifax

Summer is still in full swing, but August is a great time to think about your next hair colour. You could refresh sun-kissed blonde, introduce richer tones or choose a low-maintenance colour that will take you into the new season. At Anthony James, every Joico colour is personalised to complement you and your lifestyle.

Key takeaways

  • August is an ideal time to refresh faded summer colour
  • Balayage and highlights can retain brightness
  • Toners and ColourBoost revive colour without a major change
  • Brunette, copper and red shades create richness and shine
  • New colour clients need a skin test at least 48 hours beforehand

Refresh Your Balayage

Balayage is perfect if you want to retain a sun-kissed look while softening your regrowth. Your colourist can add lighter pieces around your face, refresh faded ends or introduce deeper tones for greater dimension.

The placement and colour will be tailored to your haircut, natural base and preferred level of maintenance.

Give Blonde Hair a Lift

Sun, chlorine and sea water can leave blonde hair faded, dry or brassy. A professional toner can restore a clean, balanced finish without the need for a complete colour transformation.

Creamy, honey, beige and soft golden blondes are ideal if you want something warm and polished, while cooler tones can neutralise unwanted yellow or orange shades.

Add Depth With Lowlights

If summer lightening has left your hair feeling too bright or one-dimensional, carefully placed lowlights can restore contrast.

Lowlights can be combined with existing blonde pieces to create a softer result while preserving brightness around the face.

Try a Glossy Brunette

Chocolate, mocha, caramel and chestnut shades can add richness to hair that has faded in the sun. Fine highlights or lighter pieces can also be retained to prevent brunette colour from looking too heavy.

Going darker after blonde or balayage requires careful planning, so your colourist may recommend a gradual approach.

Consider Copper or Auburn

Copper offers a beautiful transition from late summer into the new season. Choose soft strawberry blonde, golden copper, rich auburn or a deeper red depending on how noticeable you want your change to be.

Red tones require the correct home care, so your stylist will recommend professional products to help preserve their vibrancy.

Revive Colour With ColourBoost

You do not always need a full colour appointment to make your hair look fresh again. Anthony James’ ColourBoost treatment helps revive tone, improve condition and restore shine between appointments.

It is an excellent option before a special event or when your existing colour needs a quick lift.

Joico Colour Tailored to You

The Anthony James colour specialists use professional Joico colour to create blondes, brunettes, reds, balayage, highlights and fashion shades.

During your consultation, we will consider your skin tone, hair condition, lifestyle and previous colour history before recommending the best approach.

Our Hair Colour Promise

The Anthony James Hair Colour Promise reflects our commitment to lasting, professional results. If your permanent colour loses its tone within 21 days, we will correct it at no additional cost, provided you have followed our recommended haircare advice.

New colour clients require a skin sensitivity test at least 48 hours before their appointment. Colour consultations cost £10, which is redeemable against your colour appointment.
