Summer's arrival is the perfect excuse to finally act on your Pinterest board and switch up your hair color. Whether you've been waiting for the right moment to go blonde, add a striking twist to your brunette base, or go all out with a bolder hue, there are plenty of ways to zhuzh up your hair for the warmer weather. This year, we're in for a treat: expect everything from 'golden hour' blonde (a sunlit take on the classic honey blonde) to 'burnt sugar' brunette (a warmer, more caramelized take on brunette tones). Safe to say, there's no shortage of options for all skin tones and hair types. Below, we've quizzed esteemed colorists to break down the best hair color trends worth bookmarking this season. Burnt Sugar Brunette View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zoë Taylor (@zoetaylormakeup) According to Samantha Cusick, hairstylist and founder of her namesake London salons, 'burnt sugar' brunette is 'rich, warm, and caramelized in all the right places.' Make no mistake — it's far from your regular, one-dimensional brunette. Instead, she says, 'It's all about depth with golden undertones and subtle ribbons of amber that catch the light.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bree, The Golden Child ☀️ (@breecolter) Cusick also notes that this color works particularly well on olive and deeper skin tones, complementing them with 'a natural, sunlit effect that feels effortlessly sophisticated.' We love these shades on Bella Maclean and Bree Colter. Golden Hour Blonde View this post on Instagram A post shared by QUE HAIR SALON SYDNEY (@quecolour) In his summer hair trend report, hair artist Tom Smith shared that 'golden hour' blonde will reign supreme. This is a true fusion of copper and blonde, says Smith, 'intensely golden and full of depth and richness.' As seen on the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Abigail Cowen, Esther McGregor, and Gwendoline Christie, this color is a step up from the previously trending ' sunflower blonde ' as it strikes the perfect balance between warm and golden undertones. Take inspiration from this shade posted to Instagram by QUE Colour. Cusick notes that this particular trend primarily focuses on strategic lighting placement. 'It's a smart way to go lighter without a full transformation,' she says, and it can be achieved through adding face-framing golden highlights through the mid-lengths and ends. As for the name? 'This color creates a natural brightness that mimics that just-before-sunset glow,' she adds. Mocha Mousse Bronde View this post on Instagram A post shared by NJ Hairstylist (@glamcatt) Bronde — a mix between blonde and brunette — is getting a makeover for summer. Enter: mocha bronde, 'a monochromatic and muted' shade that suits a variety of skin tones, says Smith. Unlike the caramel hues that dominated summer 2024, Smith says this shade leans more neutral, and of course, it is influenced by the popularity of Pantone's Color of 2025: mocha mousse. Think: coffee and mushroom-esque tones that seamlessly blend through the lengths. Cusick describes this shade as 'rich, glossy, and low maintenance.' We love this color posted to Instagram by Caterina. Cherry Red View this post on Instagram A post shared by BLEACH (@bleachlondon) Babyliss ambassador and stylist Syd Hayes describes this shade as 'a vibrant, head-turning burst of juicy cherry red.' Not to be confused with burgundy or auburn, Hayes specifies that it is a true, medium-bright red with cool, almost raspberry undertones. This look posted to Instagram by BLEACH London is the perfect statement red. 'Red shades often intensify beautifully under sunlight, making them pop even more,' adds Hayes. Muted Auburn View this post on Instagram A post shared by Whitney Hayat (@whitneyhayat) Spotted on Smith's list of summer hair color trend predictions, and seen here on model Whitney Hayat, muted auburn offers a more wearable take on copper hair. The difference? It features earthy and auburn tones that will complement most skin tones without the intense orange-y hues, says Smith. To nail this shade, he advises topping up your hair with a color-depositing conditioner that enlists chestnut or soft copper tones. Try dpHUE Gloss+ in Strawberry, $38. Lemon Platinum View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jade Hart Hair (@jade_hart_hair) Smith describes this as 'a bright and gleaming lemon sorbet tone,' and predicts this striking blonde will trend thanks to its edgy yet ethereal appeal. 'If 'golden hour blonde' was the deeper, more copper-toned evolution of sunflower blonde, [then] lemon platinum is the brighter, fresher and cleaner alternative,' he says. You will have spotted this color on celebrities like Anya Taylor-Joy, Kirsten Dunst, and Kristen Stewart. Meanwhile, Marley Xavier, stylist and celebrity colorist at Hershesons, describes this shade as 'buttercream blonde' — 'creamy, soft and balanced; neither icy, nor overly warm.' Even better? It suits a wide spectrum of skin tones, adds Xavier. This shade on Mali-Koa, by BLEACH's head stylist Jade Hart, is stunning. Peekaboo Blonde View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sofia Richie Grainge (@sofiagrainge) 'This isn't your average all-over blonde,' shares Hayes. 'It features strategically placed, bright blonde ribbons or panels hidden underneath a darker top layer,' he explains. This effect is particularly beautiful when your hair moves, or is tied up or braided, as it reveals 'panel pops' for added dimension, adds Hayes. Even better? It's pretty low commitment. 'It's perfect for those who want a playful surprise element for ponytails, beach waves, and updos,' he says. This color on Sofia Richie Grainge is gorgeous. Honey-Lit Brunette View this post on Instagram A post shared by 𝔸𝕕𝕖𝕢𝕦𝕒𝕥𝕖 ℍ𝕒𝕚𝕣 𝕊𝕥𝕦𝕕𝕚𝕠 | 𝕋𝕣𝕦𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕕 ℍ𝕒𝕚𝕣 𝕊𝕥𝕦𝕕𝕚𝕠 💎 (@adequatehairstudio) According to Xavier, honey-lit brunette is set to be one of the most gorgeous and multi-dimensional shades of the season. 'Think late afternoon light melting into brunette tones; it's sun-warmed,' he says. Xavier also specifies that this particular hue focuses on 'hand-painted caramel or honey tones' throughout the mid-lengths and ends, which mimic the way natural sunlight hits the hair. He recommends it for those looking to enhance their natural brunette subtly. 'It flatters warm and neutral undertones especially well,' adds Xavier. Take a cue from this shade posted to Instagram by Adequate Hair Studio. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Samantha Cusick London (@samanthacusicklondon) 'This is blonde at its creamiest,' says Cusick. 'Think soft, cool tones with just a hint of vanilla that looks almost whipped in texture.' She recommends this color for those who want to be blonde without the typically harsh or icy finish. Already light? Cusick advises asking your colorist for a beige or a baby blonde toner to achieve the creamy effect. We love this color by Katie McKenna at Samantha Cusick Fitzrovia. Strawberry Glaze View this post on Instagram A post shared by IMOGEN ROSE HAIR | COPPER SPECIALIST & EDUCATOR (@imogenrosehair) Blurring the lines between blonde and copper, this color offers a fun twist on good old strawberry blonde. Think of strawberry glaze as 'a lighter take on copper with a subtle rosy twist,' shares Cusick. According to the pro, this color is perfect for natural redheads who want to elevate their tone, or blondes looking for something soft and summery without going too bold. Look to this shade by Imogen Rose for the ultimate inspiration. Salted Maple Brown View this post on Instagram A post shared by 어낵툴 천유나 단발 탈색•컬러전문 베이지컬러 치크펌 (@a_knack_yuna) That effortlessly cool maple brown color that you keep spotting all over Hailey Bieber's Instagram? This shade is essentially that, with a summer spin. 'Think warm, multi-dimensional brunette kissed by the sun,' says Hayes. 'This isn't just caramel; it's a sophisticated blend of a rich, warm brown base with subtle, warm blonde ribbons woven throughout, mimicking natural sun-bleached pieces. It embodies effortless summer highlights while maintaining depth,' he adds. Hayes applauds this color for its low-maintenance nature: 'The regrowth is forgiving and as it warms in the sun, [you'll] get even more dimension, preventing a washed-out look.' It's also a universally flattering shade that will complement all skin tones, particularly those with warmer undertones. Hairstylist A Nack nails it here. California Blonde View this post on Instagram A post shared by Joana Lefebvre (@joanalefebvre) Ever think about rocking that LA-inspired, effortlessly chic blonde? Enter: 'California blonde' — a foolproof choice for the summer. 'Soft, sun-faded and totally effortless, California blonde blends golden highlights with a creamy base that looks like it's been lifted naturally over long beach days,' shares Xavier. 'It's the epitome of low-maintenance luxury that suits warm or neutral undertones beautifully,' he adds. According to Xavier, the finish is relaxed, radiant, and distinctly West Coast, much like this color on Joana Lefebvre. 12 Summer 2025 Hair Color Trends Predicted By Experts written by Denise Primbet Photo: Via @bleachlondon.

Phillies Claim 25-Year-Old Former White Sox Pitcher, DFA Minor League Starter

Phillies Claim 25-Year-Old Former White Sox Pitcher, DFA Minor League Starter originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates, they made a roster move involving multiple Minor League pitchers. Advertisement The Phillies announced on Twitter/X that they have claimed right-handed pitcher Ryan Cusick off waivers from the Chicago White Sox, and designated right-handed pitcher Kyle Tyler for assignment. Cusick was then optioned to the Florida Complex League. Cusick, the player the Phillies picked-up off waivers from the White Sox, has yet to make his Major League debut. The 25-year-old has spent the last five years in the Minor Leagues, bouncing between the Detroit Tigers, Athletics, and White Sox before making his way to the Phillies. On June 5th, the White Sox designated Cusick for assignemnt after picking him up just a day prior. He was designated for assignment by the Tigers on June second, before being DFA'd for the second time in the span of three days. Advertisement In 2025, between two Minor League teams, Cusick has a 6.32 ERA in 15.2 innings of work. He's also allowed a WHIP of 1.85, and struck out 11 batters. Across his Minor League career, Cusick has an ERA of 5.20, and a win-loss record of 10-19. Oakland Athletics pitcher Ryan Cusick for the Mesa Solar Sox during an Arizona Fall League baseball game at Surprise J. Rebilas-Imagn Images The pitcher the Phillies designated for assignment to make room for Cusick is 28-years-old, with some Major League experience. Tyler pitcher for the Miami Marlins in 2024, where in 31.2 innings of work, he had a 5.40 ERA and 25 strikeouts. Tyler was pitching with the Phillies Triple-A affiliate, Lehigh Valley. There, he had a 5-3 record with a 4.31 ERA in 12 starts. Across his 12 starts, Tyler threw 62.2 innings, walking 21 and striking out 43. Advertisement This move from the Phillies is to bring in a younger pitcher who has yet to make his MLB debut. Cusick, while unlikely to play a major role for the Phillies, is a player worth taking a chance on. With the Phillies question marks in the bullpen, and some recent uncertainty in the rotation, the Phillies are in the market for new pitching talent. While Cusick was just DFA'd by two teams in a week, the Phillies bring in the former 2021 first-round pick to see if they can get anything out of a former top recruit out of high school.

I fled the '10 plagues of California' for Hallmark town in red state... now I'm flush with cash and happy

A woman who fled California 's skyrocketing costs and raging wildfires has revealed that she's now living her retirement dream in a 'Hallmark movie' town and saves a whopping $1,700 a month. Brenda Duncan Cusick, 61, left Moorpark, California, a town an hour northwest of Los Angeles after nearly two decades. After moving to Prescott, Arizona, her mortgage payment plunged from a staggering $3,309 to just $1,672 monthly. Her community was dangerously close to where the devastating Woolsey Fire destroyed more than 1,000 homes in 2018. She's watched helplessly as the blazes grew more difficult to control year after year and decided it was time to flee the wrath of disasters often referred to as the '10 plagues of California'. The wildfire threat didn't just endanger her family's safety but also destroyed her livelihood. Cusick was an insurance agent selling homeowners, commercial and auto policies between 2015 and 2023. She struggled to keep clients as rates tripled due to increasing fire risks, soaring reinsurance costs, and California's strict regulations. 'I lost a lot of sales because people wanted to save on their insurance, but I would advise they carry more coverage,' Cusick told Business Insider. 'They'd own a $1million home and a small business, and I'd tell them they could lose everything they've worked for for being underinsured.' She said the combination of wildfire threats, astronomical insurance premiums, eye-watering utility bills, steep gas prices and excessive car registration fees made retiring in California impossible for her. And Cusick isn't alone in her California exodus. Hundreds of thousands have abandoned the Golden State in recent years, driven out by the crushing cost of living and growing natural disaster risks. California residents endure some of the nation's highest energy bills, partly because utility companies have spent billions on wildfire mitigation that gets passed straight to customers. The state's climate policies also drive oil and gas prices through the roof. When COVID-19 unleashed remote work possibilities in 2020, Cusick and her husband took a chance on a new life. They sold their California home and joined the wave of retirees flocking to more affordable Arizona. After downsizing from their 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom Moorpark home to a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom property in Prescott, their mortgage payment plunged from a staggering $3,309 to just $1,672 monthly At first, Cusick told Business Insider it was daunting to consider leaving her home state. 'But once we did, we realized that there are so many lovely places to live all over the US,' she told the outlet. And the major financial relief was immediate. After downsizing from their 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom Moorpark home to a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom property in Prescott, their mortgage payment plunged from a staggering $3,309 to just $1,672 monthly. Their utility and HOA bills in Arizona now average a mere $373 monthly, compared to the $400-$1,200 they routinely paid in California. The sale of their California property also provided enough cash for a substantial down payment on their Arizona dream home. Prescott, surrounded by national forest, has also completely transformed their quality of life. 'It's a very western town in the mountains of Arizona,' she said. She added that the downtown area reminds her of a Hallmark movie. The historic former territorial capital hosts a major rodeo every Fourth of July and attracts thousands of tourists with its cooler summer temperatures and convenient location between Phoenix and the Grand Canyon. Since retiring from the insurance industry, Cusick has embraced her new community by getting involved with a local charity and launching the Prescott Food Tour. 'It's completely the opposite of selling boring, impossible insurance,' she told the outlet. 'I by no means make anywhere near what I did before, but when you're retired, you get to do things like this.'

Cusick Motorsports Continues ‘B2B' Model At The Indianapolis 500

Don Cusick, CEO and Founder of Cusick Motorsports IndyCar Photo by Joe Skibinski / @skibbyy Cusick Motorsports continues the tradition of the 'Indy Only' operations that have competed in the Indianapolis 500. These are team owners that field teams for one race a year, instead of the full season, and that one race is the biggest race of the year. Don Cusick is back at the Indianapolis 500 in 2025 and once again will partner with another Indy 500-only operation, Dreyer & Reinbold Racing. Cusick Motorsports was founded in 2021 by entrepreneur Don Cusick. Its mission was to make the racing industry more accessible to all.

With a focus on versatile, high-quality design, Branded Bills adds a stylish edge to the team's look for race month. 'Branded Bills is a new partnership for Cusick Motorsports this year, and their dedication to quality is exactly what we need as a partner as we grow,' Cusick said.
