Fall Into Fabulous: Must-Have Autumn Hair Colours & Styles

The air is getting wonderfully crisp in Chester, the leaves are starting to turn those stunning shades of burnt orange and gold, and here at the salon, my team and I are absolutely buzzing with excitement for the biggest hair trends of Autumn 2025.

Autumn is the perfect time to shed any leftover summer weariness and embrace a richer, warmer, and more luxurious look. If you’re anything like me and feel ready for a change, read on for your essential guide to the key colours and cuts that will be dominating this season.

Decadent Depth: Autumn’s Top 3 Hair Colour Trends

In my professional opinion, this year, we’re moving away from icy tones and diving into deep, decadent shades that truly reflect the season’s natural beauty. It’s all about making your colour look expensive and glossy:

1. Spiced Cinnamon Copper: A timeless colour that is getting a sophisticated update. We’re moving beyond flat reds and creating vibrant coppers infused with subtle red and gold undertones. It’s a multi-dimensional, high-shine colour that lights up any complexion and is one of my personal favourites to apply.
2. The New Deep Brunette (Quiet Luxury): Forget any dark colour that looks flat. The focus here is on depth and gloss. We use neutral and cool tones to create a highly saturated, expensive-looking brunette that looks incredible, especially under the low autumn sun. Make sure you ask for a high-gloss finish—it’s crucial!
3. Caramel Ribbons: For my blonde and balayage clients, the shift is all about introducing warmth. Instead of cool ash tones, my team and I are strategically placing buttery caramel and honey ribbons. These melt seamlessly into the base colour, adding dimension and, importantly, ensuring a softer grow-out.

Chic & Effortless: The Essential Autumn Styles

Pair your rich new colour with a cut that delivers maximum style with minimum fuss. Based on what my team is seeing, these are the shapes everyone will be asking for:

• The ‘Slob’ Cut (Sleek Bob): Sharp, sleek, and utterly sophisticated. The ‘Slob’ is a chin-grazing bob that is often styled poker-straight with a deep side part. It’s polished, powerful, and, in my experience, one of the easiest chic looks to maintain.
• The Modern Shag: Perfect for adding effortless texture and movement. The modern shag is layered through the crown for volume and framed with soft, face-grazing pieces. It’s incredibly cool and looks just as good air-dried as it does professionally blow-dried.
• Face-Framing Curtain Bangs: This is still the ultimate accessory for any haircut. Whether you have long waves or a fresh lob, those soft, sweeping curtain bangs instantly update your look, beautifully drawing attention to your cheekbones and eyes.
