From neutrals to neons, read on for Tomy’s insider hair color predictions you need to know for the coming year.
2024 Hair Color Trend #1: Expanded Neutrals
Neutral hair colors are nothing new, but Tomy expects the neutral palette to grow much broader in 2024. Think creamy nougats, toasty blondes, mushroomy chestnuts, and more for a neutral option, no matter your skin tone or texture. These softer beiges, caramels, and earth tones provide a finessed update to the old-school brunette with a dimension that flatters any complexion. Not sure where to begin with neutrals? No problem! Book a custom color consultation, and Tomy will assess your hair’s undertones to determine the most harmonious neutral hue for you. The salon’s balayage and ombré techniques breathe modern life into neutral colors as well, with lighter pieces framing the face. These strategic highlights avoid dullness, so neutrals feel fresh for 2024.
2024 Hair Color Trend #2: Spicy Reds
While copper hair ruled 2022-2023, Tomy spotlights red as an emerging trend for the coming year; vibrant cinnamon, sweet paprika, and fiery cayenne hues provide a dose of the unexpected. Whether you commit to all-over color or focalize red through balayage, this attention-grabbing shade empowers you to make a statement. Tomy encourages those with dark hair not to shy away from reds, as vibrant color can be achieved through professional lighting services preceding the red hue application. For lighter hair types, Tomy suggests gloss treatments to boost shine and allow the true nature of the red pigment to glow through.

2024 Hair Color Trend #3: Modern Frosted Hair
While frosted tips trigger 90s nostalgia for many millennials, Tomy updates this throwback look with a 2024 twist. Instead of whole chunks coated in an icy bleach hue, he predicts more subtle and blended baby lights framed around the face and crown to replicate the frosted effect. With fine highlights dispersing throughout the rest of the hair, the overall aesthetic feels modernized into something unexpected yet undeniably chic.
When considering frosted hair, Tomy cannot emphasize enough how specialized placement and expert saturation of the highlights can make or break the look. Precision is critical to avoiding any stripe-like chunks and achieving a seamless dimension that awakens your inner cool girl. Allow Tomy’s steady hand and keen eye to melt those frosty pieces into your hair for you so you walk out the salon door with a trendsetting yet wearable take on this blast-from-the-past trend.
2024 Hair Color Trend #4: Hyperdimensional Blondes
Platinum and beige blonde have enjoyed the spotlight for years now, but Tomy anticipates a new dimension shaking up blonde hair in 2024. Combinations of vanilla cream, honey butter, silvery lavender, and champagne pink transform blonde into a multidimensional moment. The inspiration? A scoop of artisanal ice cream melting in the summer sun with delicious layers and flavor notes that delight the eye.
These hybrid blonde techniques allow for more playfulness with color, root shadows, and placement compared to uniform platinum hair. Have faith as Tomy hand paints slices of contrasting hues all throughout your hair, lending visual interest and showcasing the full possibilities of blondes as unique as you. With strategic baby lights to stabilize saturation plus cooling conditioners to nourish, Tomy masterfully concocts a one-of-a-kind blonde dimension tailored to you.
Tomy’s Expert Color Tips
When it comes to translating trends into real-life results, proper application and maintenance are just as crucial as selecting the right color. Tomy shares his top professional tips so his annual hair color predictions translate seamlessly from inspo to your hair.
Customization Counts
Rather than demanding an exact version of a photo from a magazine, understand that customization based on your hair’s needs remains key. The right version of a trend hair color complements your skin tone, hair density, texture, and more based on Tomy’s skilled assessment during your color consultation. Trust Tomy’s artistic direction as he considers all facets of your hair holistically before perfectly tailoring trends to enhance your beauty.
Prep Hair Properly
Properly preparing hair beforehand is a must to allow for ideal saturation and longevity of color services. Tomy prescribes his signature Reconstruct Treatment to reinforce bonds and lock in moisture for healthy, resilient hair that takes to color beautifully. Using salon-grade products like Olaplex, this treatment restores integrity to hair so color adheres evenly for the coming months.
Enhance with Salon Treatments
Consistent care between salon visits helps color stay crisper for longer. Allow Tomy to customize at-home products to match your exact hue and keep brassiness, fading, and other issues at bay. For those opting for bolder pigments like reds, a monthly gloss treatment with Tomy renews shine, hydrates strands, and injects the hair with another layer of vibrant color.
Consider Contrast
Sometimes, a single color feels flat or dull against certain complexions. Tomy advocates strategically integrating contrast shades to add vital depth and dimension through balayage, root smudging, or haulage techniques. Gently lighter pieces around the hairline frame the face, while slightly darker roots ground lighter main colors. Trust Tomy’s color psychology expertise as he effortlessly creates balance.
Freshen Up as Needed
While Tomy aims to have his salon color services last upwards of 8 weeks, refreshing sooner based on your hair’s needs never hurts! Those rocking richer brunettes may opt for a gloss at four weeks out to revive tone and shine, while blondes might need subtle baby light refreshers at six weeks post-session to avoid banding as their hair grows out. Customize your refresher schedule with Tomy based on your hair goals, budget, and lifestyle for hair you can’t stop touching!
