EP 193: Strawberry Blonde, Tangerine and Peach Hair Colour Formulas every hairdresser needs to know.

Apr 28, 2025

If your clients are bringing in Pinterest-worthy tangerine haircolour inspiration, and you’re unsure whether it's a blonde or copper reference, this podcast is for you! In this episode, we’re diving into trending light copper hair tones and why every hairdresser needs reliable formulas for strawberry blonde, tangerine copper, and peachy shades before booking your next strawberry client.

 

If you’ve ever had clients leave the salon with perfect copper, only for it to fade too quickly, I’ve been there. But not anymore with my 5-6-7-8 'Level Up' system for hair painting redheads.

The issue often comes down to over-lightening or under-lifting. When the lift isn’t balanced correctly, it can affect the longevity of your hair colour. Those Pinterest-perfect tangerine coppers with blonde ends may seem like the dream, but they come with challenges.

 

How do you keep the copper vibrant while adding blonde highlights?

 

I’m breaking it down with proven formulas for different base levels. Listen to learn more. We’ll discuss when to pre-lighten, the best copper hair colour bases to create before adding blonde highlights, and how to mix peach and golden blonde shades into copper without going too light or ashy.

Plus, I’ll share my professional tips for keeping these copper tones vibrant for longer.
