Effortless Waves & Sun-Kissed Hues: Summer Hair Trends to Love

This is your friendly reminder: your summer hair should look like it belongs in the desert — lived-in, light-catching, and cooler than your cold brew. This season is all about soft layers, sunlit color, and texture that says, “I’m relaxed, but still iconic."

Whether you're leaning into a French bob, chasing those golden highlights, or just need a frizz-fighting miracle, we’ve got the trends and the tools for your best summer hair yet.

🌵 Why Tucson Guests Are Loving These Summer Hair Trends

Desert-Approved Texture
Arizona heat demands a low-maintenance style. Beachy waves and soft layers bring volume without the blow-dry struggle. Add a touch of R+Co’s Rockaway Salt Spray and let your natural texture take the lead.

Sun-Kissed Color That Pops
This summer is all about dimensional color. Think apricot blondes, mocha brunettes, and desert copper tones that reflect the Tucson light. Our colorists use Wella for maximum shine and lasting vibrancy.

Cuts That Work With the Heat
From airy French bobs to face-framing wispy bangs, we’re seeing movement and softness — styles that grow out beautifully and don’t need constant touch-ups.

Frizz? Not Today
Humidity meets its match with Kérastase’s Discipline line. Smooth without weight, and perfect for keeping your style in place during even the hottest days.
