Get Ready for King’s Day with Festive Orange Hair
It is almost time for the biggest party in the Netherlands. Indeed, King’s Day (Koningsdag) is a little over two weeks away! On April 27th, the entire country celebrates King Willem-Alexander’s birthday. Actually, every street in Amsterdam turns a vibrant, bright orange. Since orange is our national color, it is the perfect time for a bold hair change. Thus, we want to share four fun ways to wear orange this festival season.
Why We Wear Orange
First, let us explain the tradition. Actually, orange is the color of the Dutch Royal Family. Specifically, the family name is “Oranje-Nassau.” So, wearing orange shows massive national pride and festive spirit. On King’s Day, everyone joins the party on the canals and streets. Consequently, having orange hair makes you the absolute star of the celebration.
Four Bold Orange Hair Trends
1. The All-Over Vivid Orange
First, you can go for a full, solid head of orange, which makes a massive festive statement. Specifically, we offer two distinct takes on this bold look. One version is a pure, bright neon orange that practically glows in the spring sun. Meanwhile, our red-orange version is much deeper and richer. Therefore, you can easily choose the exact heat level that fits your skin tone perfectly.
2. Edgy Fox Tail Dip-Dye
Next, let us look at a very cool alternative style that we call the “Fox Tail.” First, we paint the top sections a bright, fiery orange. Then, we add a sharp, pitch-black dip-dye to the very tips of your hair. Indeed, this creates a beautiful, high-contrast look that perfectly mimics a fox’s tail. Ultimately, it is the perfect choice for clients who want an edgy, Y2K festival vibe for the holiday.
3. Orange Designed Bangs
Also, you absolutely do not have to dye your entire head to join the celebration. Indeed, focusing purely on the face frame is incredibly trendy right now. Specifically, we can design custom orange accents directly into your bangs or front layers. Consequently, this adds a pop of festive color right where people see it first. Thus, it is a smart, stylish way to join the King’s Day fun without committing to a massive, full-head transformation.
4. The Calico Mix with Orange
Finally, we can beautifully combine two massive trends: Calico hair and vivid Orange. Actually, we simply take the classic calico pattern and replace the traditional copper panels with bright festive orange ones. So, we mix thick blocks of pitch black, bright blonde, and fiery orange seamlessly together. Consequently, this creates a chunky, patchy look that is completely unique to you. Ultimately, it is the ultimate way to rock a creative color while keeping a very trendy pattern.
The Salon Process & Pricing
Naturally, these vivid looks require different bleaching methods depending on your specific hair history. For instance, the all-over orange might only need a Single Process Color, which costs €120 without a haircut and €160 with one. However, if you are starting with a very dark base like black, or if you want an icy neon orange, the service turns into a standard Double Process (€250 without a cut, €290 with one) or a Triple Process (€330 without a cut, €370 with one).
Meanwhile, our highly detailed placements, like the Fox Tail, designed bangs, and Calico mix—require a specialized booking. Because of the complex color blocking, these are booked as Creative Colors. Specifically, a Double Process Creative Color costs €280 without a haircut and €320 with one. Alternatively, a Triple Process Creative Color costs €360 without a haircut and €400 with one. Finally, please remember that all chemical services exclude our standard long hair fee, which ranges from €10 to €30.
