Elizabeth Palmer’s Miami summer hair guide—from soft blondes and effortless balayage to fearless fantasy color.
From the MSM Beauty archive · Elizabeth’s Summer 2025 forecast and product picks.
A Southern soul with a Miami spark, Elizabeth Palmer brings a personal approach to every cut and color.
Originally from Alabama, Elizabeth followed her creative calling to South Florida. Her work brings together custom color, natural movement, and an intuitive sense of the person in her chair.
For her Summer 2025 forecast, she shared the looks her Miami clients were asking for, the products she relied on, and the confidence behind a transformation.
Softness. Movement.
A little main-character energy.
The look of Summer 2025
Elizabeth saw Miami leaning into natural textures and low-maintenance glam. “Life moves fast down here,” she explains, “and anything that saves time while still looking put-together is a win.”
Heavy layers and bright blonde were among the most requested styles—a nod to the Sabrina Carpenter era, with Elizabeth’s signature spin.
Blonde bombshells & balayage
For clients looking for color with an effortless finish and graceful grow-out, balayage remained a favorite.
“All my color is custom to the person. I ask for a few inspiration photos and build something unique from there.”
Her Miami hair essentials.
For Miami’s heat and humidity, Elizabeth’s approach starts with preparation. These were her Pureology picks for the original summer guide.
Hydrate
One of Elizabeth’s go-to Pureology lines for her summer hair-care routine.
Strength Cure Blonde
A favorite in her lineup for blonde clients.
Color Fanatic Leave-In
“It’s absolutely goated,” she laughs.
Elizabeth’s pre-swim tip: Wet hair with fresh water before heading into the pool or ocean, and apply a light conditioner for extra protection.
Good color starts
with a conversation.
Elizabeth’s approach is grounded in trust. Clients often give her creative freedom, knowing she will tailor the result to them.
“Consultation is everything,” she says. “Once I understand the person, I can give them a look they never imagined for themselves.”
For Elizabeth, hair is also self-expression. “Be unapologetically YOU,” she says.
“Trends come and go, but confidence is timeless.”
Two sides of a Miami summer.
Color outside
the lines.
While soft blondes and balayage are signature looks, Elizabeth’s creativity also finds expression in bold fantasy hues.
Deep sapphire roots melt into vivid ocean blues, with aquamarine waves and electric teal blends inviting a more adventurous kind of self-expression.
“Fantasy hair is where I get to push creative boundaries,” she says. “It’s about helping clients channel something bold, beautiful, and unapologetically wild.”
