Blonde and Brilliant: How to Keep Your Color Fresh in Bloomingdale’s Summer Heat

There’s nothing like a fresh blonde color to kick off the summer — bright, dimensional, and perfectly tailored to you. But as the temps rise and you start spending more time outside (hello, sunshine and patio season), keeping that blonde looking salon-fresh takes a little extra care.

At Visions for the Art of Hair in Bloomingdale, we specialize in professional hair coloring, with a deep focus on blonde services. Whether you’re platinum, honey, ash, or buttery beige, our goal is always the same: custom, healthy blonde that fits your lifestyle and flatters your features.

Here’s how to keep your blonde looking brilliant all summer long:

Protect It From the Sun

Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from UV rays. Prolonged sun exposure can cause blonde hair to fade, dry out, or turn brassy. We recommend wearing a hat when you can and using salon-recommended UV-protective hair products — we’ll walk you through your best options during your visit.

Say No to Chlorine Buildup

Love the pool? We get it — but chlorine isn’t your blonde’s best friend. It can alter tone and dry out the hair. Rinsing your hair with fresh water before you swim helps reduce absorption, and we offer gentle cleansing treatments to remove buildup if it happens.

Tone, Gloss, Refresh

Summer is the perfect time to come in for a quick tone and gloss. These low-commitment touch-ups help your color stay vibrant and cool-toned between lightening services. We’ll customize the formula based on how your hair is responding to the season.

Deep Conditioning is Your Best Friend

Blonde hair tends to be more porous, and summer heat can make it thirsty. Our in-salon conditioning treatments restore moisture, boost shine, and keep your hair soft and strong — because healthy blonde is the best kind of blonde.
