The Glass Hair Trend
Shine Like Never Before With Glass Hair at Medusa Salons
This season, hair is glowing brighter than ever. At Medusa Hair Salons in Edinburgh, we’re bringing you the ultimate in sleek, polished glamour with the stunning Glass Hair trend — a finish so smooth and luminous, it rivals your favourite skincare glow. Think high-shine hair with soft, light-reflective tones, perfectly tailored to your complexion using premium Wella colours and glossing treatments. Ready to turn heads? Let us show you how.
What is Glass Hair and Why is Everyone Talking About It?
Inspired by the K-beauty world’s obsession with glass skin, this ultra-glossy hair trend is all about creating a mirror-like finish with healthy, light-reflective shine. Glass Hair isn’t just about straight strands – it’s about healthy, hydrated hair that feels soft, smooth, and looks expensive.
Whether you love rich brunettes, glossy golds, apricot blondes, or radiant coppers, the key to this look lies in the layers. Using expertly selected Wella colour and treatment combinations, our team will create a multidimensional finish with serious staying power – and shine that glows from every angle.
The Secret to Shine: Colour and Care in Perfect Balance
At Medusa, we use Wella’s professional colour system to craft your ideal Glass Hair finish. The process begins with a personalised colour service, whether you need full grey coverage, a sun-kissed balayage or precision highlights using Blondor. Your stylist might recommend:
✓ Illumina Colour for soft dimension and natural-looking shine
✓ BlondorPlex to lift and brighten without compromise on hair strength
✓ Colour Touch Melt to add depth and seamless colour transitions
✓ SHINEFINITY Glaze, the essential second step that locks in a translucent veil of colour and unbeatable gloss
This zero lift, zero damage glaze is what sets Glass Hair apart – boosting shine while enhancing tone for a silky-smooth finish that catches the light beautifully.
Maintain the Look: Ultimate Smooth Homecare
To keep your glow between appointments, we recommend the Wella ULTIMATE SMOOTH range. The shampoo and conditioner gently cleanse and nourish while smoothing the hair fibre, while the Intense Mask offers a weekly boost of hydration. Our top pick? The Miracle Oil Serum – a lightweight finishing oil that tames frizz, adds heat protection, and gives your Glass Hair that coveted polished look, day after day.
The Golden Glass Palette: Warm Tones That Glow
The Glass Hair trend comes to life in a palette of soft, warm shades that reflect the light like liquid gold. Your Medusa colourist will help you choose a tone to suit your skin tone and hair goals – whether that’s a honey blonde that sparkles in the sun, an apricot-copper blend for something bold, or a brunette base with a coral glaze for a subtle twist. These shades are not only flattering but designed to shine – especially when finished with a SHINEFINITY gloss.
