Heading into a new year is a great reason to update any style, and clients are craving something truly magical when it comes to their hair colour. This year, it’s all about enhancing hair colour through a new lens. From global colour to touches of vibrance, prism tones are a great way to catch anyone’s eye with dazzling effect. And the best way to create the look? The new Aloxxi Seasonal Collection — The Iced Prism Kit — packed with a colourful array of rainbow tones that play beautifully with light. Read on for more details and inspiration for a season full of luxe looks.

Why Prism Tones Are Stealing the Spotlight in 2025

Think about the glow of gemstones—from blue to neon green, red, and yellow—but with an updated twist. These tones use that vibrancy and turn it into something playful and versatile, with just the right placement. The placement everyone is loving this year? A "prism" effect – which mimics the light-reflecting facets of gemstones to create a look that’s stunning from every angle. The best part? With customization, you can create a prism tone that works on everyone. Blend cool tones or a variety of the rainbow to create a full rainbow prism effect, the possibilities are endless.

A Few Tips for Any Prism Tone:

Plan accordingly: 

Because these tones are usually slightly outside the normal realm, start every appointment with a thorough consultation. Your client might not be ready to go fully vibrant all over and may want to test the waters with just a touch of prism in a single section.

Prep the base:

To ensure prism colours shine, you’ll need a clean, even canvas. That means pre-lightening to at least a level 10 platinum blonde or as close as you can get while maintaining hair health. This is exactly why Aloxxi Blonde 78 ULTRA LIGHTENER is included in the Iced Prism Kit — this white powder lightening has the ability to lift up to 9 levels and features the proprietary Blonde78™ Complex with built in bond protection to protect the hair throughout processing.

Layer your colours:

The magic of prism hair is all about the effect, and you get this with the right placement and a variety of colours. And with the Iced Prism Kit, you’ll have 8 ULTRA HOT tones to pick from that will help you create any shade under the rainbow. As an intense Semi-Permanent Fashion Color range, Aloxxi ULTRA HOT® is able to deliver a vibrant palette of customizable shades with incredible shine. Mix, match and play with light and depth to create the ultimate impact. 

Pro tip: For a true “prism” effect, focus on areas that catch the light naturally, like the crown and around the face.

How To Keep Your Prism Looking Bright:

Pastels can fade faster than bold colours, so it’s key to set your clients up for success. Here are a few top tips to share before they leave the chair. 

• Cut down on washes: In addition to this, also recommend cold water rinses to help maintain colour vibrancy.

• Protect the Hair: Adding a colour treatment like ALOXXI INSTABOOST (which also comes in a variety of colour-enhancing choices) can elongate the shade and improve the condition of the hair between appointments. Alongside this, suggest clients limit their hot tool use. 

• Schedule Regular Touch-Ups: Encourage clients to come back every 4–6 weeks for a touch-up refresh to keep their prism shimmering.
