Looking to refresh your hair this season without a dramatic overhaul? Say bonjour to Parisian blonde — the effortlessly elegant, sun-kissed shade that’s dominating salons this spring.
What Exactly Is Parisian Blonde?
Parisian blonde sits somewhere between blonde and brunette — not too light, not too dark. It’s a soft, warm, natural-looking shade that looks like you just spent a summer strolling through Provence.
Celebrity stylist Jason Collier describes it as:
“Subtle, lived-in, and sun-kissed. Not platinum or balayage, but quiet luxury.”
Expect soft regrowth, dimensional tones, and a warm glow without any brassiness. Think golden, beige, or honey ends that gently melt from slightly darker roots.
Why Is It So Popular Right Now?
The trend taps into what people want in 2025: luxury that’s low-maintenance. After years of bold color trends and heavy upkeep, Parisian blonde offers a more relaxed, natural approach — but still looks polished.
“It’s expensive-looking without trying too hard,” says Collier.
It’s also perfect for the post-pandemic mindset — we’re leaning into ease, comfort, and elegance that doesn’t scream for attention.
Who Does It Suit?
Parisian blonde is incredibly adaptable. Because it combines warm and cool tones, it can be tailored to suit:
Fair skin with cool undertones
Olive and medium complexions
Deeper skin tones with golden or red undertones
Plus, since it doesn’t require harsh bleaching, it’s a safer option for those who want to go lighter without damaging their hair.
What To Say At The Salon
When asking for Parisian blonde, try this script:
“I’m looking for a warm, dimensional blonde with soft roots and natural-looking highlights.”
“I want something that grows out well and doesn’t need constant touch-ups.”
“Can we customize the tone to suit my skin and eye color?”
And always bring reference photos — especially ones with natural lighting and a root-to-tip blend you love.
How To Style It
The best part about this look? It loves a bit of mess. Go for:
Loose waves or undone curls
Soft, centre-parted blowouts
Effortless buns and ponytails
Use a light glossing serum to enhance the dimension, and keep things shiny — avoid matte products that dull the finish.
What’s Next for the Trend?
Expect even softer, richer versions of Parisian blonde in the months ahead. Think:
Mushroom blonde
Cappuccino blonde
Subtle caramel melts
It’s all about depth, shine, and softness — an understated glamour that’s timeless.
If you’re looking for a hair color that’s both on-trend and timelessly elegant, Parisian blonde is the perfect spring refresh. Ready to go French?
