Coppers. Inspiration For That Perfect Colour

For decades copper hair tones have been stopping traffic, with celebrities around the globe enjoying a wide range of copper tones. From the more modest subtle hues (Nicole Kidman 2000–2014) and Deep Earthy tones (Marcia Cross, Emma Stone) to more daring, brighter shades (Nicole Kidman Pre 2000, Cynthia Nixon and Lucille Ball).

By using various foiling techniques our hairdressers at Epic Hair Designs are specially trained in creating feature foils and flashes, or blending sun catching glimmers throughout the hair. Whatever your mood, they will help you choose just the right combo to brighten your skin and liven up those tresses.

Copper is such a rich stunning all over/block colour. Add a bit of interest to brown hair by adding a slight hint of the copper, or stray away from the ash blondes to a lovely warmer strawberry blonde for winter. For the more daring, try a striking bright copper. Here are a few shades and styles to choose from to suit your hair tone and style and skin tone to be a queen of copper!

Velvety Auburn - Ombre

Start with a vivid dark auburn or ginger at the roots and then melt into tender strawberry blonde. A silky finish will bring out the radiance of this stunning copper shade. A perfect match if your skin is fair with a warm undertone.
