“Blond” is correct for a man, and “blonde” for a woman. It’s an example of a gendered adjective. These are rare in English, but we’re dealing with a French loan-word. Consider “fiance” and “fiancee,” a gendered French noun.

I’m offended. From now on all blond and blonde people will be called sand.
