2025… You were a lot. You filled our hearts. You tested us. You cracked us open and then quietly reminded us what actually matters.
By the time we reached the end of this year, one truth stood taller than the rest: life itself is the prize.
As we wrap it up, we’re feeling grateful. For the work we get to do, for the community around us, and for the small moments that make everyday life feel a little brighter.
For us at My Hairdresser, 2025 sharpened our purpose more than any year before.
Why We Do This (And Why It Still Matters)
This year reminded us exactly why My Hairdresser began. We are here to help. And why having an alternative in the Hair Colour world matters so much. We wanted Hair Colour to feel less like a transaction and more like a trusted conversation. Like the friend or sister you can turn to when you need honest advice, clear options, and a solution that fits your life.
Not pressure. Not confusion. Not sitting in a salon chair wondering if your voice is being heard.
We are a small, female-run business that loves quality Hair Colour and loves even more that it can be done at home, on your own time. No locked-in boxes. No rigid subscriptions. No one-size-fits-all formulas. Just salon-quality Colour, when you need it, how you want it. Quality. Flexibility. Confidence. On your terms.
The Messages That Meant Everything
One of the greatest gifts of 2025 was you. Your reviews. Your emails. Your stories. Hearing how My Hairdresser supported you through change, through tightening budgets, through stepping back from the salon, or simply through wanting to feel like yourself again. Sometimes it wasn’t about reinvention. Sometimes it was about maintenance. About not losing yourself while cutting back on extras. About choosing you in a small but powerful way.
Because let’s be honest… A $30 Colour and Developer can be the difference between feeling flat and feeling fully yourself again. That fresh root touch-up. That Brassiness finally gone. That Tone restored. It hits differently.
Even we feel it. Life gets busy. Regrowth creeps in. Brassiness takes over. And suddenly the mirror doesn’t quite reflect who you are. Then the Colour goes on, the Tone settles, and there you are again. Full-strength you.
So truly, thank you. New customers, loyal customers, quiet readers and repeat buyers.
The Hair Colour Trends That Defined 2025
Were you on trend this year? Let’s see.
Plum & Cherry Reds Took Centre Stage
2025 belonged to wine, Burgundy and Cherry Cola Tones.
Rich, moody, robust Reds dominated, nudging us away from Copper and firmly into cooler plum-violet territory.
We deepened our Brunettes, amplified Red pigments, and leaned fully into that glossy, expensive depth. If your Colour felt bold, dramatic and deliciously rich, you were the moment.
Top shades you loved:
4.66 Intense Dark Red
6.22 Intense Violet
Diet Cherry Cola
Cherry Cola Brunette
Toning Dark Blondes & Brunettes (Finally!)
2025 was the year Darker Hair officially claimed its place in the Toning conversation.
Brunettes and Dark Blondes stepped forward and said what we’ve always known: Dark Hair still needs Toning.
Warmth creeps in. Red undertones appear. Colour fades and suddenly looks Brassy.
Wow, did you shop accordingly. Our Dark Toner Kits barely stayed in stock as more of you reached for cool, ashier finishes that kept your Colour polished and intentional.
If you want to neutralise warmth and maintain a cooler Brunette, these are your non-negotiables:
Dark Ash Toner Kit
Intense Ash Brown Toner Kit
Going Darker (The Right Way) With Filler Colours
Our info line lit up this year with one question: “I’ve been Blonde for years. Can I go back Darker myself?” And our answer stayed the same: Yes. And you can do it properly. Before reaching for a Darker shade, a Colour Filler is essential. It prevents muddy, greenish Tones and gives your Colour depth, richness and longevity.
Balayage on pause. Foils on break. High-maintenance Blondes opting for something fuller and more grounded.

Deeper, More Polished Blondes
Blondes didn’t disappear in 2025. They just grew up a little. We saw a shift toward deeper, natural Blondes that bridge regrowth, blend foils and soften contrast. Shades that look expensive, effortless and lived-in.
Ash, Beige and neutral Blondes delivered polish, grey coverage and seamless blends.
