Nothing says spring more than a fresh new hair hue. From balayage to hair chalk, there is a daring new look for everyone to try! Below are the hottest trends and tips from colorists at Butterfly Studio Salon in New York City.

Balayage Trend: With celebrities like Jessica Biel and Sarah Jessica Parker leading the charge, Balayage is sweeping the nation. What started as a grassroots movement in the hair world, celebrity influences have made this artistic and personalized highlighting service something that everyone is coveting. Whether it’s minimal with low-maintenance (tone on tone shades of dark to light chocolate) or more classic like a California Blonde (sunny and warm or bright and icy), the endless options are what makes this service so desirable. Every girl can become an “It girl” with this gorgeous, light-reflecting hair trend.

Hair Chalk: Straight from the runway, watch for L’Oreal Professionnel’s launch of hair chalk. Think of it as make-up for your hair. The range of colors includes three “natural” and five “fashion” shades, giving the user plenty to play with. It washes out with shampoo and lasts for approximately 10 washes. It’s a fast add-on service at the salon, great for those who love to play with, change or are curious about hair color. You can get the effect of hair color without the chemicals, the damage or the commitment.

Redheads: In the past few seasons, redheads have been seriously downplayed and are making a strong comeback for 2014. For your perfect redhead look, keep skin tone in mind: cooler, darker shades of red for darker hair color bases and cooler skin tones, and warmer, more golden-coppery shades of red for lighter hair color bases and more pale skin tones. Rose gold is making a bold statement in 2014 color trends with celebrities like Rachel McAdams and Jessica Chastain.

Blondes: Blondes are cooling it down and bringing back vibrant ice-toned shades with silver hues. To make this look work for you, even if you have pale skin, ask your colorist to customize the perfect hue to compliment you. Think celebrities such as Julianne Hough, Cameron Diaz and Cara Delevigne. White hot is the way to go for 2014

Brunettes: Brunettes are extremely versatile for 2014. You are seeing everything from iced cappuccino brunettes (a la Mila Kunis) to mahogany-based brunettes and everything in between. A new ombré-like look is sweeping the hair color world as the “sombre” effect. This look tones down the drastic ombré to a much more subtle ombré, where there is a gradual fluidity from a darker base to brighter ends. Think Kim Kardashian’s new look, where she is predominantly brunette with subtle light pieces on her ends, or Natalie Portman, who is also rocking a “sombre” look right now.
