9 Hair Colors Worth Trying Now, According to Pros

"Gala gold," a warm, buttery, Barbie-esque hue, is forecasted to be a huge hair-color trend for blonds this year. "Clients who are usually lovers of bright platinum hair are requesting a darker golden blond to warm things up for winter," says Jennifer Korab, a hair colorist at Renaissance Salon & Spa in New Jersey. "We are seeing a shift in bright blonds to warmer, darker tones with more lightness around the face. A lot of my clients are adding money-piece highlights to keep that pop of blond around the face."

Michelle Hong, celebrity hair colorist and founder of NYC The Team, calls it "the perfect hue of gold that is flattering on almost everyone," as it "delivers a soft yet luminous honey tone that feels both warm and rich."
