As we step into 2025, hair trends are shifting, and highlights are becoming more customized, vibrant, and tailored than ever before. Whether you’re looking to enhance your natural color, add dimension, or make a bold statement, the world of highlighting is evolving with fresh, innovative ideas. At Venelle Salon & Spa, we’re always ahead of the curve, ready to bring you the latest and most exciting highlight trends that will elevate your hair game.

In this blog, we’ll explore the top highlight trends for 2025, from new color techniques to exciting hues, and show you how Venelle’s expert stylists can give you the trendiest highlights of the year.

1. Face-Framing Highlights: Fresh, Bright, and Effortless

In 2025, face-framing highlights are having a major moment. These highlights focus on brightening the hair around your face, creating a natural, sun-kissed glow. Whether you have short or long hair, face-framing highlights enhance your features and bring attention to your eyes, cheekbones, and jawline. This trend is perfect for anyone who wants to add a little brightness without committing to a full head of highlights.

What’s exciting about this trend is the subtlety—it’s low maintenance and grows out naturally, making it ideal for busy individuals who want a fresh look with minimal upkeep. At Venelle, we tailor this technique to fit your unique features, giving you a gorgeous, flattering effect.

2. Soft Balayage: The Effortless, Sun-Kissed Style

Balayage continues to be a top trend, but in 2025, it’s all about soft, natural-looking balayage. This freehand technique creates a seamless, sun-kissed effect that looks as though you’ve spent the summer at the beach. The key to 2025’s balayage is a softer gradient, where the highlights blend effortlessly into your natural hair color.

Venelle’s balayage experts use precise painting techniques to ensure that your highlights create a natural, multi-dimensional look. The soft transition from dark to light makes it perfect for those looking for a low-maintenance style that still adds plenty of depth and texture. Whether you're blonde, brunette, or have darker hair, balayage can be customized for a stunning, glowing result.

3. Bold, Vibrant Highlights: Color Your World

In 2025, bold vibrant highlights are more popular than ever before. If you’ve been craving a fun, daring look, bright hues like neon pink, electric blue, vibrant purple, and even sunny yellow are making a huge splash in the hair world. These bold colors can be used to create striking accents or add an all-over boldness to your look.

Vibrant highlights are great for expressing your individuality and making a statement. Whether you want to incorporate subtle pops of color or go for a full-on bold transformation, our colorists at Venelle Salon & Spa will ensure that your highlights complement your style and complexion perfectly. This trend is perfect for those who want to experiment with colors and make a statement.

4. Reverse Highlights: Darker Roots, Lighter Ends

A reverse highlight is one of the most exciting trends for 2025. Instead of lightening your roots and adding highlights to the ends of your hair, reverse highlights do the opposite. The roots are kept dark, while the lighter tones are placed throughout the hair towards the tips.

This style creates a bold contrast that makes the lighter ends stand out, offering a modern, edgy twist to traditional highlights. Reverse highlights are perfect for those who want something different and eye-catching. At Venelle, our colorists are skilled in creating this unique, dimensional look that works on all hair colors, from brunettes to blondes.

5. Caramel and Honey Tones: Warm, Luxurious Highlights

Warm, caramel, and honey highlights are taking center stage in 2025. These rich, golden tones create a soft, natural glow that’s perfect for adding warmth to your hair. Whether you have dark or light hair, these highlights can be customized to give you a radiant, sun-kissed effect.

These warm tones work especially well for brunettes and blondes alike. If you’re looking for a more refined, elegant look that’s also easy to maintain, caramel and honey highlights are the way to go. At Venelle, we can tailor the placement of these highlights to suit your face shape and desired level of brightness, making them the perfect choice for a soft, yet glowing update to your hair.

6. Multi-Tonal Highlights: Layered Color for Depth and Dimension

In 2025, we’re seeing more multi-tonal highlights—a combination of different colors layered throughout the hair. These highlights can range from subtle variations of blonde, brunette, and caramel tones to more dramatic contrasts with bold colors like purple and pink mixed in.

Multi-tonal highlights add tons of depth and dimension, making them perfect for anyone looking to elevate their hairstyle. This trend is versatile and can be customized to fit your personal style, whether you want something soft and blended or bold and striking. At Venelle Salon & Spa, our colorists excel in mixing colors to create a perfectly blended look that suits you.

7. Pastel Highlights: Soft, Dreamy Hues

Pastel highlights are making a big comeback in 2025, and they’re softer and dreamier than ever. Think soft lavender, mint green, and peach highlights that create a soft, ethereal look. These pastel shades are perfect for those who want to experiment with color in a more subtle way.

Pastel highlights look especially beautiful on light-colored hair, but they can also create a soft contrast on darker hair colors. At Venelle, we offer customized pastel shades that are designed to perfectly complement your natural hair color and enhance your overall style.

8. Rooted Highlights: Soft and Seamless Growth

For those who prefer a more low-maintenance style, rooted highlights are the perfect option for 2025. Rooted highlights keep the roots darker and gradually lighten towards the ends, creating a seamless transition that’s easy to maintain as your hair grows.

This technique is especially great for those with dark hair looking for a soft, natural way to incorporate highlights without the need for frequent touch-ups. Rooted highlights offer a subtle, yet stunning contrast, giving your hair a fresh, dimensional look.

9. Balayage and Babylights Combo

Combining balayage with babylights is another exciting trend for 2025. While balayage creates a natural, sun-kissed effect, babylights—ultra-fine highlights—are used to add a bit of extra shine and depth to the hair. The combination of the two creates a soft, dimensional look that feels both natural and glamorous.

This trend is ideal for those looking for a subtle yet radiant hair color with minimal maintenance. At Venelle Salon & Spa, we can combine these techniques to create a completely customized color that works for your hair type and lifestyle.
