Lived-In Blonde - The Perfect Shade for Spring
If you’re after a soft, natural-looking blonde that grows out beautifully, lived-in blonde could be just what you’re looking for. It’s relaxed, low-maintenance, and seriously flattering – perfect as we head into the lighter days of spring. At Martin & Phelps Hair Salon in Cheltenham, our colour experts love creating this seamless, sun-kissed look. We’ll work with your natural base and choose tones that suit your skin tone and personal style for a beautiful, bespoke finish.
Please remember: If it’s been more than 6 months since your last colour service with us, you’ll need to pop in for a quick allergy test at least 48 hours before your appointment.

All About Lived-In Blonde
Unlike traditional highlights, which start from the scalp, lived-in blondes blend seamlessly from the root to the hair ends, creating a more natural, low-maintenance result. If you're dreaming of that 'I've spent my summer sojourning at the beach' look, lived-in blonde might be the answer.
During your lived-in blonde colour service, we will refine your natural hair base by building colour seamlessly, ensuring the mid and lower lengths are brightened. This technique adds dimension at the roots and brightness towards the ends, creating depth and contrast. The result is a perfectly blended, premium blonde look.
Why We Love Lived-in Blonde
According to Wella, lived-in blonde is the "antithesis of root-to-tip, salon-fresh highlights." While we love traditional highlights, the lived-in blonde look gives you an effortlessly undone yet polished vibe. We love it for so many reasons!
A Range of Blonde Tones
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to lived-in blonde. From warm caramels and honey tones to creamy brondes and soft golden blondes, we can tailor your colour to suit your complexion perfectly. Whether you prefer a warmer finish or something cooler, this technique offers a wide range of personalised options.
Less Maintenance, More Flexibility
Because the colour doesn’t start at the root, there’s no obvious regrowth line. That means fewer visits to the salon and more time enjoying your colour. If you’re after a look that gives you longer between appointments without compromising on style, this could be the shade for you.
Kinder to Your Hair
With fewer lightening sessions required, lived-in blonde is also gentler on your hair. At Martin & Phelps, we always use high-quality products and expert techniques to maintain the strength and condition of your hair during any lightening service.
Perfect All Year Round
While lived-in blonde is a popular choice for spring, it works beautifully across all seasons. It adds a golden glow in the warmer months and warmth and depth during autumn and winter, making it a timeless option for blonde lovers.
Works with Any Haircut
From long, layered hair to chic bobs and mid-length lobs, lived-in blonde complements a wide range of styles. Its soft, blended finish adds dimension and movement, making it ideal for both sleek and textured cuts.
