BEYOND THE SHEARS: Miami Hairstylist Elizabeth Palmer’s Summer 2025 Hair Forecast By Angie LaGuardia   |   June 10, 2025 From soft blondes to fantasy color, Elizabeth is making bold beautiful. A Southern Soul with a Miami Spark   Elizabeth Palmer, a vibrant Miami hairstylist, is quickly becoming one of the city’s go-to beauty professionals. Known for her eye for style and intuitive approach, she’s redefining the Miami beauty scene with custom looks, sun-proof styles, and trendsetting cuts. Originally from Alabama, Elizabeth followed her creative calling to South Florida and never looked back. Now, she shares her must-know summer hair trends for 2025, from bright blondes to effortless balayage and insider product picks for surviving the season in style. The Look of Summer 2025 Blonde pa’ que brilles, mami—made for sunsets, rooftop vibes, and don’t-mess-with-me confidence. This summer, Elizabeth sees 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.” One of the most requested styles right now? Heavy layers and bright blonde a nod to the Sabrina Carpenter era, but always with Elizabeth’s signature spin. Blonde Bombshells & Balayage Balayage remains a go-to for many of her clients. Its effortless finish and graceful grow-out make it a favorite for those who want high-quality hair color without constant upkeep. Elizabeth notes that trends are shifting more toward looks that embrace movement, softness, and customization. “All my color is custom to the person. I ask for a few inspiration photos and build something unique from there.” Her Must-Haves for Miami Hair When it comes to caring for hair in Miami’s intense heat and humidity, Elizabeth is a firm believer in preparation. She swears by Pureology products — especially the Hydrate line and the Strength Cure Blonde system for her blonde clients. Her ride-or-die favorite? The Color Fanatic Leave-In Conditioner. “It’s absolutely goated,” she laughs. She also offers practical summer tips: always wet hair with fresh water before diving into the pool or ocean, and for extra protection, apply a light conditioner. It’s small steps like these that help maintain color and keep hair from drying out. Building Trust Through Custom Color Elizabeth’s approach to beauty is grounded in trust. Her clients often give her full creative freedom, knowing she’ll create something beautiful and tailored. “Consultation is everything,” she says. “Once I understand the person, I can give them a look they never imagined for themselves.” But for Elizabeth, hair is more than style… it’s self-expression. “Be unapologetically YOU,” she says. “Trends come and go, but confidence is timeless.” In a city where bold fashion and individuality reign, her philosophy feels like a breath of fresh air. From Volume to Vibe: Miami’s Two-Sided Summer Hair Moment Silky smooth and full of shine, porque luxe is always in style. Golden strands with flow y gracia sunlit, carefree, and made to turn heads. Color Outside the Lines For Elizabeth, color isn’t just a service, it’s an identity. While her signature sun-kissed blondes and effortless balayage remain crowd favorites, her true creative spirit comes alive through bold, high-impact fantasy hues. This summer, she’s making waves, literally with deep sapphire roots that melt into vivid ocean blues. These mermaid-inspired tones are more than a trend, they’re a fearless form 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.” From aquamarine waves to electric teal blends, Elizabeth invites her clients to stand out and embrace their boldest selves, strand by strand. Electric blue waves meet creative freedom—fantasy color mastery in full flow. Leave ordinary at the door—because at Beyond the Shears, it’s always about making a statement. From the edge of Wynwood to the waves of South Beach, Elizabeth Palmer is painting Miami in color, one fearless head of hair at a time. Whether it’s a bright blonde balayage or a mermaid-inspired fantasy hue, her chair is where stories begin and confidence comes alive. Ready to reinvent your look, your vibe, your Miami moment?

Soft dewy skin is a must and hydration is the key to keeping it firm and deliciously ethereal. Hydration and oil are two different things and many equate moisture to breakouts and oil slicks. The key is quenching the upper layers of the skin with nutrients and hydration Hyaluronic acid and antioxidants to give you that radiant luminescence. It’ll also help push out invasive aggressors like toxins and restore your natural luminosity. We recommend you guzzle down eight 8 oz. glasses of water a day and add boosters to your hydration like Camu Camu or B12 complexes in order to optimize your body’s regenerative abilities. FOR BOLD SEXY EYES, WE LIKE…  Eyeko London’s EYE DO liquid liner. You won’t find a deeper black than this award winning precision marker with its smooth handling and lash enhancing properties. Stay as close to the lash- line to create that subtle look. Go bolder for a dramatic cat-eye look. FOR  AMAZING BROWS  Longer thicker brows are usually associated with youth. Fuller brows have made a comeback and you need not look further to the first family of reality television to see how an aptly constructed brow (and fabulous contouring) keeps the eyes lingering. The secret is to recreate the look as in your baby pic- tures. Fill in the brows in a way that resembles your past self. Define and blend with a spoolie, brush to subtly enhance. When in doubt- don’t pluck. It’ll take time but it took you years of over plucking to get here, many underestimate the power of an arch built from the top. We Like…Anastasia Beverly Hills – BROW GENIUS is incredibly smart. Get natural looking, beautifully bold brows by swiping their clear waterproofing gel & BROW GENIUS LOOSE POWDER along the gaps on your arch. Blend and fight off the suitors.   FOR AN INVITING SEDUCTIVE SCENT… The key is quality ingredients. You’d be surprised how well the spicy bite of tobacco leaves intermin- gles with amber resin or myrrh. The scent should be alluring-not imposing.

Sacred Wood works harmoniously well with virtually everyone. Best part of all, it’s unisex.     FOR SEDUCTIVE HAIR… Spring is synonymous for lush ladylike locks. Soft tousled waves sculpt and enhance your sexiness by giving the face dimension and softening your silhouette. Again, hydration is the key and polished volume is achievable by saturating your hair with nutrients and protection to ward off frizz. Quench your parched mane by conditioning your ends daily and using targeted products to give you that extra protection.       We Recommend… technology that reduces styling time and allows larger sections to be styled. ghd eclipse the latest addition to its roster of intuitive thermal stylers.
