Lived-In Colour vs. Statement Hair
Newcastle’s Most Requested Hair Looks Right Now
Right now, two distinct looks are leading the request list in our studio: lived-in colour and statement hair. Both are timeless in their own way, but each offers something unique depending on your vibe.
The Rise of Lived-In Colour
Think soft blends, natural tones, and low-maintenance beauty. Lived-in colour is perfect for clients who want hair that looks polished without the upkeep of frequent appointments.
Balayage & soft foiling give a natural, sun-kissed effect.
Dimensional brunettes & creamy blondes remain favourites for that “effortless” finish.
Low-maintenance schedules: these colours grow out gracefully, meaning you can stretch between visits without losing that fresh look.
For brides and busy professionals alike, this style is about enhancing what you’ve got: natural beauty, amplified.
The Allure of Statement Hair
On the other end of the spectrum, bold colour and precision cuts are making waves. Statement hair is all about self-expression.
High-contrast blondes, rich coppers, and glossy blacks are turning heads.
Sharp bobs, curtain fringes, and blunt edges are defining 2025’s statement looks.
Perfect for those who love to stand out, these styles demand attention (and yes, regular salon visits to keep them sharp).
It’s confidence in hair form: playful, powerful, and unapologetically bold.
So, Which One’s For You?
Whether you’re leaning towards the effortless vibe of lived-in colour or the head-turning drama of statement hair, the right style is the one that feels most you. Our artists will always customise your look to suit your lifestyle, maintenance goals, and personality.
