Soft iridescent blondes continue to trend, and champagne blonde is the perfect tone for clients looking for a sophisticated, multidimensional color. If you’re ready to refresh your color services and offer a blonde option that not only appeals to a wide range of clients, but also delivers elegance and versatility, champagne blonde is the move.
Why Champagne Blonde is a Must-Have Shade in Your Color Portfolio
Champagne blonde strikes the perfect balance of warm and cool blonde undertones, making it highly adaptable to different skin tones—from fair and porcelain to medium and deep. Unlike stark platinum or ash blondes, champagne blonde provides a soft, polished look that is both chic and wearable. Plus, its subtle shimmer and radiant finish are perfect for clients looking for a touch of luxury.
Champagne Blonde Benefits for Your Clients and Your Salon
- Customizable to Diverse Skin Tones: The wide tonal range within champagne blonde allows you to tailor the shade to each client’s unique complexion and preferences.
- Soft, Radiant Finish: Clients get a natural glow with deep reflections of both warmth and coolness for a polished yet approachable look.
- Sophistication Meets Wearability: Champagne blonde is timeless, elegant, and ideal for those who want a refined blonde without the upkeep of icy or platinum shades.
- Low-Maintenance Options: Techniques like balayage and root shadowing make regrowth graceful, increasing client satisfaction.
How To Achieve the Perfect Champagne Blonde
There are a number of ways to bring champagne blonde to life, and keeping these tips in mind will help create a look that really pops:
- For a true champagne blonde, lift to at least a level 9.
- Be sure to add dimension of highs and lows to keep your champagne blonde from looking flat.
- To create the subtle nuances of champagne, pair a warm shade with a cool shade, like GRo and P or NW and V.
- Add pink undertones for cool skin tones and peach undertones for warm skin tones.
Expert Tips for Styling and Maintaining Champagne Blonde Hair
To ensure your clients keep their champagne blonde hair looking its best, be sure to share these tips:
- Enhance Natural Texture: To showcase the hair’s multidimensional tones, encourage your curly clients to embrace their waves or curls using our Acidic Bonding Curls line.
- Sleek Styling: Suggest a heat protectant like Quick Blowout or Big Blowout to achieve a glossy, salon-perfect finish and prevent the blonde from going brassy.
- Effortless Looks: For a modern, lived-in vibe, recommend air-drying with ABC 24/7 Night & Day Serum or other texture-enhancing styling products.
- Gloss and Shine Products: Suggest our Naked Gloss Lightweight Shine Oil to boost shine and protect color vibrancy.
- Color-Safe Haircare: Recommend sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners like our Acidic Color Gloss duo. To neutralize brassiness, have them try a purple shampoo such as Blondage.
- Regular Salon Visits: Advise scheduling trims and color-refreshing Shades EQ gloss treatments every six to eight weeks to maintain vividness and hair health.

Pro tip:
When working with blondes, Natural Chocolates are perfect for creating root shadows and lowlights that are rich and neutral. The Gold Rose series is the ideal choice for clients desiring a golden rose color as the premixed gold + rose reflects create the perfect golden blonde with a kiss of rose.
The deep chocolate root provides a beautiful contrast to the highly reflective champagne and crème tones.
