Fall & Winter Hair Color Trends You’ll Love This Season

The change of seasons is the perfect time to refresh your look—and your hair color is the best place to start. As the weather cools down, we’re seeing clients lean into richer, warmer, and cozier shades that complement the season. If you’ve been thinking about a new color, here are the top Fall/Winter hair color trends we’re loving in the salon right now.

1. Warm Brunettes & Chocolate Tones

Deep, dimensional brunette shades are always in style for the cooler months. Think rich chocolate, chestnut, and espresso with subtle highlights to catch the light. These shades add warmth and shine, making your hair look healthy and glossy all season long.

2. Caramel & Toffee Balayage

Balayage isn’t just for summer—it transitions beautifully into fall and winter. Adding caramel or toffee tones through a darker base creates dimension and warmth without the need for high maintenance. It’s the perfect “cozy” color combo.

3. Copper & Auburn Reds

Red hair is having a major moment, and fall is the best time to embrace it. From subtle auburn accents to bold, fiery coppers, these shades light up your complexion and give that fresh seasonal glow.

4. Low-Maintenance Lived-In Blondes

For our blondes, winter doesn’t mean you have to go dark. Instead, opt for lived-in, rooted blondes with golden or beige tones. This keeps your blonde soft and dimensional, while being lower maintenance than a bright, all-over look.

5. Glossy Black & Midnight Shades

For those who love drama, deep black and midnight hues are trending. They look sleek, shiny, and bold—perfect for the chic, polished vibe of winter fashion.

6. Toner Refresh & Shine Enhancements

Sometimes you don’t need a whole new color—just a toner or gloss refresh. Seasonal changes can make hair feel dull, so a quick gloss can bring back that shine and keep your current color looking fresh.

Tips for Keeping Your Fall/Winter Color Fresh

• Use salon-quality shampoo & conditioner to protect your color.

• Limit heat styling or always use heat protectant.

• Schedule regular gloss or toner appointments to keep your shade vibrant.
