This summer, one trend is rising above the rest, and that’s layered hairstyles. Offering a blend of dimension, movement, and personality, layers are reclaiming their spotlight in the hair world. From soft face-framing strands to dynamic shags and elongated silhouettes, this season’s layered looks are all about enhancing natural beauty with tailored precision.

At HARE & BONE, we’re embracing this movement across all lengths and textures, helping clients discover the layered look that’s just right for them. Whether you’re looking to revive your current cut or commit to something brand new, layered hairstyles offer an effortlessly modern refresh.

Why Layered Hairstyles Are Summer’s It-Cut

What makes layered hairstyles the go-to this summer? Versatility. Layers work harmoniously with virtually every hair length, from chin-length bobs to waist-grazing lengths. They can inject volume into fine hair, lighten thick locks, and frame the face to accentuate your best features.

This adaptability is key in a season where effortless elegance meets ease and practicality. Layers add texture, allow for air-dried styles, and bring out the best in natural movement, ideal for summer’s relaxed vibe.

Tailored to Every Length and Texture

Whether you’re craving the revival of the ‘70s shag or a subtle cascade of long layers, there’s a version of layered hairstyles to suit every aesthetic. Shorter styles benefit from soft internal layering for bounce and shape, while longer hair gains definition and movement through expertly placed long layers.

Face-framing layers, one of the most requested looks this season, are particularly transformative. These delicate pieces not only draw attention to the eyes and cheekbones but also make everyday styling feel intentional and refined.

Heatless Styling & Embracing the Natural

As more clients steer away from excessive heat tools, layered hairstyles have become the perfect partner for heatless techniques. Their natural flow enhances air-dried styles, waves, and curls, making it easier than ever to embrace your hair’s organic texture.

A spritz of the Oribe Apres Beach Waves And Shine Spray or a curl-enhancing cream like our personal favourite Love Curl Cream by Davines is often all that’s needed to bring layered hairstyles to life, especially during warmer months when minimal styling feels just right.

For those drawn to a more carefree aesthetic, the boho hairstyle is also seeing a strong revival this season. With its emphasis on texture, softness, and natural movement, it’s the perfect companion trend to layered cuts. Discover our favourite boho hairstyles for summer.

Your Ideal Layers Start at Our Salons

Crafting the perfect layered hairstyle starts with understanding your hair type, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences.

At our Esher hair salon, clients can enjoy the same experience as they do at our Fitzrovia salon, which brings fashion-forward style to every appointment.

Across both spaces, our team uses advanced cutting techniques to customise layers that complement your features and hair’s natural movement. We don’t follow trends, we tailor them to you.

The Consultation: Precision Meets Personality

Our approach at HARE & BONE is always consultative. Whether you visit our London location in Fitzrovia or meet with our talented hairdressers in beautiful Esher in Surrey, we begin by getting to know you, your routines, your preferences, and your hair’s unique story.

Only then do we begin sculpting a layered hairstyle that enhances not only your look but your everyday confidence. From maintenance advice to product recommendations, every detail is considered.

Stylist Favourites: This Season’s Must-Have Layered Looks

Our stylists are currently loving the modern shag, full of airy volume and attitude, and long butterfly layers that deliver seamless movement while maintaining length. These styles are perfect for the sun-drenched days ahead, offering shape and sophistication in equal measure.

Another favourite is the textured bob with layers that give structure without sacrificing softness. It’s a timeless style with a distinctly 2025 update.

Book Your Transformation

This summer, let us help you find your perfect layered hairstyle. Whether you’re looking for a bold transformation or a gentle refresh, our Fitzrovia and Esher teams are ready to guide you. Book now to experience hairdressing that’s tailored, transformative, and timeless.

Layered, lifted, and utterly you, your best hair starts here.

As the sun starts shining and temperatures rise, it won’t be long before we’re moving swiftly from spring into summer and you might notice your summer hair needing a fresh routine to handle the seasonal shift.

At HARE & BONE, we know how vital it is to protect and prep your locks to ensure your summer hair is looking and feeling its best. The combination of UV rays, humidity, saltwater, and chlorine can leave hair dry, brittle and frizzy, but a few expert-approved tweaks to your routine can make all the difference.

Summer hair demands extra attention, and we’re here to guide you through it. Whether you’re booking in at our Fitzrovia hair salon, visiting our Esher hair salon, or simply updating your at-home care, these are the essential tips to achieve hair that thrives in the sunshine.

Hydration is everything

Summer hair craves moisture as the sun and sea can strip your hair of its natural oils. This can leave your locks dull and dehydrated, so it’s important to invest in hydrating products that care for your hair.. Our stylists can recommend a lightweight leave-in conditioner that works best for your personal hair type, ensuring your hair stays supple and protected throughout the day. Hydrated hair not only feels better, it also looks glossier and is far more resilient against summer stresses.

Shield your hair from the sun

In the same way that you wouldn’t skip SPF for your skin, your hair deserves protection from the sun, too. Adding heat protection spray to your routine before heading out for the day can make a huge difference. For added defence for your summer hair, you can always consider hair accessories too. Both wide-brimmed hats and silk scarves can be perfect for shielding your summer hair and creating an effortless hairstyle in summer.

Switch up your summer haircare routine

As the seasons change, so should your haircare products. Heavy, winter-focused shampoos and conditioners can weigh down your hair in the heat. It could benefit your summer hair care routine to swap them for lighter, sulphate-free formulas that cleanse gently without stripping your hair. If you’re going lighter this season, A colour-protecting shampoo and conditioner will help maintain your sun-kissed tones for longer.

Minimise heat styling

Your hair will already battle heat from the sun, so there’s no need to add extra stress with excessive heat styling. We suggest embracing natural textures; loose waves, messy buns, and textured ponytails as these are the epitome of a relaxed, cool summer style. When you do reach for styling tools, be sure to use a heat protector. We suggest products such as the Davines MELU Hair Shield or Oribe Gold Lust Dry Heat Protection Spray to keep your hair in optimum condition.

Book in for a pre-summer trim

Nothing says healthy summer hair like freshly snipped ends. Regular trims prevent split ends from travelling up the hair shaft, keeping your hair looking polished and healthy. If you’re after a full summer transformation, why not book an appointment at one of the top hair salons in London? Our expert stylists at our hair salon in Central London’s Fitzrovia are always ready to create a look that feels fresh and effortless for the season ahead. As with our Esher salon in Surrey, our professionals are here to help you with your summer haircare needs.

Be pool and beach smart

Saltwater and chlorine can wreak havoc on even the healthiest hair. Always rinse your hair with fresh water before taking a dip; this simple step reduces the amount of damaging salt or chlorine your hair absorbs. After swimming, cleanse with a gentle clarifying shampoo to remove any lingering residue and follow up with a nourishing conditioner.

Nourish from the inside

Summer hair isn’t just about what you put on it; it’s also about what you feed it. A diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and plenty of water will support hair health from within. Vitamins such as omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and biotin can boost shine, strength and overall vitality.

Summer should be a time when your hair feels free, healthy, and effortless. Whether you’re topping up your colour, booking a treatment, or just needing expert advice, our teams in our dedicated Fitzrovia hair salon and Esher hair salon are here to help you achieve your ultimate summer hair goals.

Book your appointment today and let HARE & BONE elevate your summer style – because your best hair days are just ahead.

The boho hairstyle has been reviving lately, and we expect to see many looks this summer that offer a fresh take on carefree styling. Already this season, there has been an emphasis on natural texture, softness, and effortless shape. As fashion leans into relaxed silhouettes and tactile fabrics, hair is following suit. We’ll be embracing movement, texture, and a more unstructured kind of beauty.

Whether it’s tousled waves, subtle braids, or a soft colour melt, there’s a boho look to suit every length, texture, and occasion. If you plan to book in at our Esher or Fitzrovia hair salon, we’ll craft a boho hairstyle that’s bespoke to you by tailoring it to your hair type, lifestyle, and individual sense of style.

Boho hairstyle staples: shapely layers and soft textures

This season, the boho hairstyle is all about the finish: undone yet polished, styled but not stiff. Rather than sleek or sculpted hair, we’re seeing styles that move freely like shaggy layers, soft fringes, and silhouettes that celebrate the hair’s natural flow.

This style lends itself to lived-in elegance. It feels shaped by the elements, not the straighteners. It’s wearable, expressive, and suited to summer living.

Beachy waves and boho buns

Beachy waves remain a signature look when it comes to boho hairstyles. These relaxed looks appear effortless and can add volume and movement to the hair without appearing overly styled.

For those who prefer wearing their hair up, boho buns are the perfect solution. You can wear these styles low, loose and textured, and they also work brilliantly with face-framing strands or braided details. We’ve also seen looks elevated with silk scarfs, soft ribbons and natural-looking accessories to finish off the hairstyle.

Enhancing curls and embracing volume

Boho doesn’t mean straight hair only. In fact, boho hairstyles thrive on natural curls and coils. The goal is to highlight what your hair does best, enhanced with a great cut and well-matched products. Some products we adore for enhancing curls include the Davines LOVE CURL Cream and the Oribe Styling Butter Curl Crème, which help to define your curls and keep them in place.

Layering plays a key role here, too, when it comes to boho hairstyles. This is because layers allow for your curls to sit in a shape that enhances bounce and body. Our stylists at both our Fitzrovia hair salon and Esher hairdressers know how to work with texture to achieve a personalised shape that grows out beautifully.

Lived-in colour for a sun-kissed feel

A signature feature of the boho revival is lived-in colour. The colouring is subtle, seamless and designed to mimic the soft fade of summer. Think hand-painted highlights, balayage looks, and soft tonal shifts that add depth without drawing harsh lines. Whether you’re looking to soften your brunette, brighten your blonde, or enhance your natural base, our hairdressers in Fitzrovia, Central London, and Esher, Surrey, are here to create the perfect hue for your summer look.

Tailored to you- always

At HARE & BONE, every look is crafted around you. We start with a consultation that explores your lifestyle, hair texture and goals.

This isn’t just about following trends-it’s about enhancing what you already have and helping your hair feel as good as it looks.

Ready for the boho revival?

A boho hairstyle offers a perfect blend of ease and expression for this summer. It’s shaped to move with you, feel natural, and reflect your personal style. Whether you’re inspired by waves, curls, braids or colour, the HARE & BONE team is here to craft something uniquely yours.

Book your appointment today with our hairdressers in Fitzrovia or Esher and discover a new way to wear your hair which is effortless, expressive, and summer-ready.

Spring is in full swing, and with the sunshine here to stay (hopefully!), now’s the perfect time to lean into a colour that feels fresh and warm and has vitality. One thing we’ve noticed this spring is that our clients are moving away from cooler, ashier tones in favour of warmer, light-reflecting shades that enhance natural hair with quiet luxury.

The freshest hair colours for spring

We’re seeing blondes go golden, brunettes go for richer tones and soft pastel accents to hair this season. When we think of hair colours for spring, we think about depth, dimension and effortless beauty. It’s not about dramatic reinvention; it’s about subtle shifts that bring your colour to life.

From nuanced blondes to tonal brunettes and playful seasonal twists, here’s what’s trending in our Fitzrovia and Esher hair salons right now and how we’re customising each look to suit you.

Buttercream blonde: a seasonal staple

Sitting between Scandi blonde and natural honey, buttercream is spring’s answer to the icy champagnes that we’ve seen previously. It has a creamy softness that brings brightness to the face without any harshness. This is one of the hair colours for spring that is as luminous as it is luxurious, with a lived-in feel and a blended look.

Brunette: gloss over gimmicks

When it comes to hair colours for spring, brunettes are making a statement in the most understated way. The ‘liquid brunette’ is a term that describes super glossy hair, and we’ve been creating this with a blend of chestnut, mocha, and coffee tones that create movement and depth. This look is low effort but undeniably striking.

Balayage: the sun-kissed classic, reimagined.

The balayage is back as one of the biggest hair colours for spring, but this time, it is softer and more subtle, with more dimension than before. Our clients are receiving seamless transitions of golden ribbons woven through natural tones and delicate enhancements that mimic how the sun lifts your hair after a holiday. This look is perfect for any hair colour that wants a natural refresh with minimal upkeep.

Peach and apricot pastels: a playful touch

We’ve been enjoying how peachy and apricot-blonde tones have been quietly coming into their own. These shades offer a gentle warmth that flatters lighter hair without tipping fully into copper. They bring a hint of unique colour to hair for a sunlit and soft look that’s one of the most perfect hair colours for spring.

Our professional advice: the power of small tweaks

We believe that not every transformation needs to be dramatic. A different toner or some strategically placed highlights can completely shift your look. Our advice? Focus on enhancing your existing colour with subtle warmth, added shine, and thoughtful detail.

Glossing for healthy hair that’s elevated

No matter the shade of hair colour that you go for, the finish can be everything. A high-shine gloss will elevate any colour, giving your hair that expensive-looking sheen that reads as healthy and intentional.

Retain your hair’s colour and vibrancy

It’s important to retain your hair colour and its vibrancy with the right products. We’re loving the Davines MINU colour protective hair care range, especially the MINU Hair Serum, for keeping colour vibrant and salon-fresh between appointments.

Ready for Your Seasonal Update?

Whether you’re craving a soft tonal shift or something with a bit more personality, our team of colour experts in our Fitzrovia hair salon in Central London or our Esher hair salon in Surrey are here to tailor the perfect update by choosing the best hair colours for spring. From delicate face-framing babylights and balayages to elevated pastels, we’ll guide you through the shades that best suit your skin tone, style, and maintenance preferences.

Book your consultation now, and let’s create something beautiful, because the best colour is the one that feels entirely yours.

You can see our colouring services page for more information on all the different colour options we have available at our Esher hair salon.

New clients will require a sensitivity test 48 hours in advance of colour services and existing colour clients require a rest if a period of six months or more passes between colour services with us.

Finishing services

At HARE & BONE, we provide a range of finishes for any type of event. Whether you’re opting for an elaborate updo or a bouncy blow dry, our hairdressers in our Esher hair salon regularly work on editorial shoots, so we’re well aware of the latest techniques and styles and are pleased to bring them to our finishes within the salon.

At HARE & BONE, our colour specialists are masters in creating bespoke, effortlessly wearable and low-maintenance hair colours that enhance your natural beauty while fitting seamlessly into your lifestyle. The right colour, expertly applied, can grow out gracefully, maintain depth and dimension, and require less upkeep between salon visits. This is without compromising on quality or style. Although it still requires professional expertise to achieve the perfect results, opting for a colour that works with your natural tones and regrowth pattern could be better for your hair’s health and better suit your lifestyle. Whether you visit our Fitzrovia or Esher salon, our team will be able to craft a colour that not only looks effortless but is designed to work for you.

Techniques for effortless colour

The key to achieving low-maintenance hair colour lies in expert techniques like balayage, ombré, and soft-shadow roots. These methods allow your natural roots to blend beautifully with your colour, ensuring a softer grow-out and a more relaxed approach to maintenance. At HARE & BONE, our talented colourists personalise every shade to complement your features and lifestyle, ensuring a look that stays effortlessly fresh between salon visits.

The beauty of natural tones

Blondes are embracing a more natural and low-maintenance approach, moving away from high-maintenance platinum and icy tones in favour of softer, sun-kissed hues. Lived-in blondes, created through techniques like root smudging and baby lights, offer a more seamless grow-out, ensuring long-lasting dimension with minimal upkeep.

Bronde offers the perfect fusion of blonde and brunette, delivering a rich, sun-kissed glow with deeper, natural undertones. This shade brings warmth and dimension without the need for constant touch-ups. Darker tones are shifting towards warm, organic hues that exude richness and depth. Chestnut and cocoa brown tones are layered seamlessly to enhance natural movement in the hair.

Even those who prefer brighter shades, such as coppers or creative colours, are opting for root smudges to prolong longevity and create a softer, more blended regrowth. By incorporating more natural-looking bright tones or strategically placing colour for a more seamless grow-out, these clients can enjoy the vibrancy of their chosen hues while reducing maintenance needs.

More and more people are choosing to embrace their natural grey too, and our expert colourists specialise in blended grey transitions, ensuring a seamless, sophisticated result that enhances rather than hides. These approaches to low-maintenance hair colour allow for a stunning, effortless look that evolves beautifully over time

Creating dimension with Balayage and Baby Lights

Balayage and baby lights are the ultimate tools for creating a natural, sun-kissed effect. Balayage involves painting delicate strokes of colour through the hair, while baby lights add ultra-fine threads of lighter tones for a polished yet understated finish. Shadow roots and root smudges softly diffuse the root area, creating a natural gradient effect that ensures regrowth looks intentional rather than abrupt. These techniques contribute to a truly low-maintenance hair colour by reducing the frequency of touch-ups.

Maintaining your low-maintenance hair colour

Even the lowest-maintenance hair colour benefits from a little upkeep. Our bespoke glossing treatments refresh vibrancy and enhance shine, ensuring your colour remains salon-fresh for longer. If you opt for a bolder hue, a root smudge in a complementary natural tone extends the life of your colour, creating a more blended and seamless look. Investing in high-quality hair care products also helps maintain the integrity of your colour while keeping your hair looking and feeling its best. We trust and recommend Davines for their sustainable, high-performance products that nourish and protect colour-treated hair.

The importance of hair health

Beautiful colour starts with healthy hair. At HARE & BONE, we place hair health at the forefront of every service, ensuring that our techniques maintain and improve hair integrity. Our stylists can recommend high-performance, professional aftercare products to lock in colour, enhance shine, and keep your strands nourished between appointments. A well-maintained low-maintenance hair colour not only looks effortlessly stunning but also ensures that hair remains strong and vibrant over time.
