Claude Thomas Salon and Spa Madame Claude's 2018 hair color trends

There’s no better confidence booster than a hair color refresh. 
The brown hair today is all about gorgeous brunette hues:  
coffee latté to chocolate and everything in between. 
The popular looks are warm to cool to natural.

IF YOU WANT A WARM, SUBTLE BRUNETTE LOOK
COFFEE LATTÉ HAIR

What better way to transition hair than with a balayage blend of color? A rooty coffee latté look is carefree and appears effortless. To make sure you and your colorist are both on the same page I advise bringing a picture with you during your initial consultation. We love to see pictures and preferably the more, the better. To help keep your coffee latté hair color looking fresh all season long, we recommend stopping in to see your colorist between appointments for an all-over glaze with Shades EQ hair gloss to maintain your hair color's shine and sparkle.   




CHOCOLATE BROWN HAIRCOLOR

When it comes to finding a beautifully rich hair color, chocolate works as a flattering wash of all-over color.  In the past, we've had red-violet and auburn brunettes, but this year we’re giving way to a true deep neutral brunette color. [We’ve seen] all over the runways, as well as at the most recent award shows, that brunettes have been living on the dark side. Brunette celebrities have either been wearing their hair dark and monochromatic, or very subtle and light toward the ends. It’s a timeless and a classic trend

Caramel Copper brunette 

What makes hair color with caramel and copper tones so appealing is its ability to instantly brighten up and warm your complexion.  The key when it comes to determining how well the hair color will suit your overall look, you need to know which brunette hair color complements your skin tone. This will determine if warm or cool tones work for you and would be your base color as a brunette. Our stylist will be able to help you confirm what your skin undertones are. 


Ashy brunette

If there’s one hair color trend we can’t get enough of, it’s the ashy brunette look. The ashy brunette hair is a trend is everywhere this season. To ensure the richest tones possible for your hair, we may need to apply a toner like Shades EQ .  Our colorists may need to apply Shades EQ gloss to your hair two or three times to take you to the desired level you're looking for. This overlaying of color will ensure a long-lasting look, as well as tons of sexy shine.. 


Brunette with Vivids accent

Sometimes a bold pop of color can be exactly what you need. A peek-a-boo silver strand of hair against a brunette base color makes for a striking contrast in this Smokey Ombré. The new Smokey Ombré trend is perfect for those who want to mix things up. It can be customized perfectly for you. It's gorgeous and smoking hot  Alternatively, you can incorporate vivid colors into your brunette look, but still keep it subtle. “When hair is dark but has rich blues, purples or greens strategically placed in the hair, it creates an optical illusion. At first glance, the hair may look dark, but as the light hits it in different places, the rich jewel tones shine from the surface.


LIVED IN Bronde Hair

The lived-in bronde hair inspires major envy for its low-maintenance and equally stylish flair. The look is all about confidently rocking overgrown roots. “A lot of ‘bronding’ has resurfaced. There’s now the idea of a blonde and brunette living on the same palette...the subtle shadow roots that have been hot for a few years are getting deeper and longer. It seems like a nod back to ombré   If you’re still dealing with the aftermath that a rough summer may have had on your blonde hair color, this is a gorgeous look for easing the transition to darker brunette hair.


Play up your natural brown

We understand that sometimes you want to update your look without making a drastic change.  There are a few things you can do. We recommend looking into adding a few subtle accents to your hair with baby lights to enrich your natural base color. The baby lights hair color technique uses thin, subtle highlights to frame the face or add dimension to a look.  Also using Shades EQ gloss on your hair for a toning effect that pumps up the shine and enhances your natural brunette hue. “If you’re looking to just liven up your natural brunette hair shade, a gloss is the way to go. Even adding some copper or red Shades EQ gloss formulas on the mid-lengths to ends of the hair will richen up the color without being too bold.”
