Soft Golden Apricot Blonde is capturing the essence of high summer, combining warmth, softness and effortless luminosity in one beautifully wearable look.

What is Soft Golden Apricot Blonde?

Sitting between golden blonde and delicate apricot, the tone introduces subtle warmth without overpowering the overall finish, creating hair that feels naturally sun-kissed with healthy-looking shine.

Its versatility makes it flattering across a wide range of skin tones, while delicate tonal variation adds depth, movement and a premium finish. Whether worn as an all-over colour or enhanced with tonal glossing, it’s a fresh, commercially wearable trend that clients will continue to embrace well beyond the summer months.
