Why it’s trending:

2. Clean Blonde With an Icy Finish
Not quite platinum, not too warm. Just the perfect clean blonde with a hint of ice.
This trend is huge in Surry Hills thanks to:
- Scandinavian-inspired minimalism
- Strong tonal control using high-quality toners

Pair it with a regular in-salon blonde maintenance plan, and it will stay fresh all summer long.
3. The Textured Bob (AKA the “Summer Bob”)
It’s cool, airy, light, and screams summer freedom.
This season’s Surry Hills version features:
- Soft, lived-in layers
- A natural wave or “undone” texture
- A length that sits between jawline and collarbone
It’s the perfect style for women who want chic with zero fuss. Especially in the heat.
4. Coconut-Infused Hydration Treatments
Humidity, saltwater, and UV exposure can strip the hair quickly.
This makes deep hydration rituals the most-requested service of the season.
