These shades not only complement Indian skin tones beautifully but also deliver a luxurious, salon-fresh finish. Ready to glow into the new year? Let’s dive into what’s trending!
1. Creamy Blonde with Warm Highlights
The timeless blonde gets a 2025 update with creamy tones and soft golden highlights. This trend is ideal for anyone wanting a sun-kissed finish that feels natural yet luxurious.
Pro Tip: Ask for Honey Blonde Balayage for low-maintenance brightness that grows out beautifully.
Best for fair to medium skin tones.
2. Rich Copper & Cinnamon Spice
Copper continues to reign — especially rich, spicy tones with a glossy finish. Think warm cinnamon and amber hues that bring instant warmth to your complexion.
Try This at Kapils: Copper Melt Balayage for that smooth, molten finish.
Perfect for winter glow-ups.
3. Lived-In Brunette
Natural, low-effort brunettes are trending hard — inspired by Hailey Bieber’s “chocolate glaze” hair.
Ask your stylist for soft dimension with espresso and caramel undertones to keep it glossy and easy to maintain.
Great for all Indian skin tones.
4. Expensive Espresso Brown
Think ultra-rich, mirror-gloss brown — luxurious, sleek, and power-packed with shine.
The “expensive brunette” trend from 2024 has evolved into espresso glossing, a favourite among professionals at Kapils Salon for clients wanting elegance and depth.
Best paired with a smoothening or botoplex treatment.
5. Golden Bronde Balayage
Can’t decide between blonde or brown? The Bronde Balayage is your go-to for a perfectly balanced, sunlit tone.
It’s effortless, versatile, and perfect for low-maintenance color lovers entering the festive season.
Adds brightness without full bleaching.
6. Smoky Ash Brown
Cool-toned ash shades are making a major comeback. The modern take for 2026 is smoky ash brown — neutral, wearable, and ultra-chic.
Kapils Tip: Combine with a Keratin or Nanoplastia treatment for glass-like smoothness.
Great for those who prefer muted elegance.
7. Pastel Rose Gold
Soft pastel tones like rose gold are still trending into 2026, perfect for those who love playful yet elegant vibes.
Ask for a blush-toned balayage that fades beautifully over time.
Looks stunning in soft curls or waves.
8. Champagne Beige
For a luxurious, subtle change — try Champagne Beige, the new-age blonde that blends beige and soft gold for a high-end, neutral finish.
Complements cool and warm skin tones alike.
