Red hair is having a serious moment, and we are here for it.

At Medusa Salons in Edinburgh, our hair colour experts can help you find the perfect red, copper or auburn shade for you. Every colour appointment begins with a consultation, so we can look at your current hair, discuss your goals and create a colour that works beautifully for you.

Key Takeaways For Red Hair Colours

• Red hair colour can be soft, bold, bright or natural.
• Copper hair colours are perfect for a warm summer refresh.
• Blonde highlights can add brightness and dimension to copper tones.
• Red hair needs professional aftercare to help prevent fading.
• Wella colour care products and treatments can help keep your colour looking fresh.

Fox Red Hair Colour

Fox red is one of the most striking red hair colour trends for summer. It sits between copper, auburn and vibrant red, giving the hair a rich, fiery finish that still feels wearable.

This shade is perfect if you want a red hair colour that looks bold without feeling too bright. It works beautifully with soft waves, layered cuts and glossy styling, as the movement in the hair helps show off every tone.

Fox red can be adapted to suit your natural base colour. It can be made softer for a more natural finish or brighter for a stronger fashion-led result.

Bold Red Hair Colour

For those who love a statement hair colour, bold red is a beautiful choice. Think glossy, confident and full of impact.

Bold red hair colours can range from deep ruby shades to brighter cherry reds, depending on the look you want to achieve. This type of colour is perfect if you want your hair to feel fresh, powerful and full of personality.

Because bold red shades can fade more quickly than softer tones, the right homecare is essential. Our Medusa colour experts will always talk you through the best Wella products and treatments to help protect your colour between appointments.

Summer Copper With Blonde Highlights

Copper hair with blonde highlights is a gorgeous choice for summer. The copper base gives warmth and richness, while the blonde highlights add brightness, movement and a sun-kissed finish.

This look is ideal if you want to try copper hair but still love the lighter, softer feel of blonde. The highlights help break up the colour, making it feel modern, fresh and flattering.

Summer copper with blonde highlights works beautifully on long hair, mid-length styles, layered cuts and softly waved hair. It is also a great option if you want a colour that feels warm and seasonal without going too dark.

Natural Copper Hair Colour

Natural copper is a timeless red hair colour that always looks beautiful when it is created well. It is softer than bold red and often has a warm, golden finish that looks fresh, healthy and flattering.

This shade is perfect if you want your hair colour to look natural but still noticeable. It can be tailored to look soft and subtle or richer and more vibrant, depending on your skin tone and personal style.

Natural copper hair colours are especially beautiful in summer light, but they still need care to stay glossy. With the right treatment and homecare routine, your copper can stay looking bright, healthy and salon-fresh for longer.

Why Red Hair Needs Extra Care In Summer

Red and copper hair colours are stunning, but they can be more prone to fading than some other shades. During summer, colour fade can happen more quickly due to sun exposure, heat styling, chlorine, sea water and frequent washing.

This does not mean you should avoid red hair in summer. It simply means your colour needs a little extra support.

Using professional Wella colour care products can help protect your shade, keep the hair feeling soft and support longer-lasting vibrancy. Our team can recommend the right Wella shampoo, conditioner, mask or styling product for your hair type and colour.

Summer Hair Care Tips For Red Hair Colours

• Protect your hair from strong sun where possible. A hat or scarf can help reduce UV exposure on very bright days.
• Rinse your hair after swimming to remove chlorine, salt water and impurities.
• Use Wella colour care products designed for coloured hair.
• Avoid overwashing, as this can encourage colour fade.
• Turn down the heat on styling tools where possible.
• Book regular glossing, toning or colour refresh appointments to keep your red hair looking fresh.
• Add a professional colour treatment to your appointment for extra shine, softness and protection.
