Fall hair color this year is all about depth, dimension, and personality.
Whether you’re craving a rich brunette with caramel ribbons, buttery blonde pieces for brightness, or a glossy cherry cola pop — this season is about hair that feels lived-in, effortless, and full of shine.
And yes, the haircuts are just as exciting. Think heavy bangs, bold face-framing, and layers that bring movement to every strand. Let’s break down the trends I’m seeing in the salon right now (and all over TikTok).
🍂 The Brunette Revival: Brown Sugar, Mochaccino & Cappuccino
2025 is the year brunettes are taking center stage — and not just solid browns. These brunettes are dimensional, glossy, and oh-so-edible.
Brown Sugar Brunette: Warm, golden tones that give hair that sunlit sparkle.
Mochaccino Hair: A mix of rich espresso and creamy highlights — think your favorite latte in hair form.
Cappuccino Hair: Dark roots with lighter, frothy ends for a soft yet striking contrast.
Cherry Cola Hair: Deep brunette with subtle red ribbons that catch the light.
Mocha Mousse: Velvety, neutral brunette with a silky, glossy finish.
👉 Who it’s perfect for: Anyone who wants low-maintenance luxury. These lived-in brunettes grow out seamlessly, look rich in every light, and feel polished without ever looking “too done.” They’re especially flattering for busy professionals who want expensive-looking color with minimal upkeep.
✨ Buttery Blonde Pieces: Lived-In Lightness
For my blondes — fall doesn’t mean dull. This season, it’s about buttery, sun-kissed pieces that melt into the base for a natural glow. Instead of icy, high-contrast blondes, we’re seeing warmer tones that feel cozy, dimensional, and timeless.
These buttery ribbons can be woven into a balayage or added as face-framing pops — the perfect way to brighten without constant upkeep.
👉 Who it’s perfect for: Blondes who want to stay light but lean into the seasonal vibe, or brunettes who want a little brightness without a full blonde transformation.
🍒 Pops of Color: Cherry Cola & Cinnamon Spice
Dimension is everything this season. Even for brunettes who love depth, adding pops of color — like cherry cola reds or cinnamon spice ribbons — brings movement and shine.
These shades are fun, bold, and give hair that little extra “pop” when it catches the light or moves.
👉 Who it’s perfect for: Clients who love being brunette but want something playful, eye-catching, and just a touch different.
💇 The Haircuts: Bangs, Layers & Face Framing
Fall 2025 isn’t just about color — the cuts are making statements too.
Heavy Bangs: Think curtain bangs with more weight. They’re chic, versatile, and frame the face beautifully whether styled straight or swept aside.
Face-Framing Pieces: Perfect for tying hair back while leaving styled tendrils out — polished but effortless.
Heavy Layers: Long hair is going dimensional too. Heavy layers add movement, bounce, and make color placement pop.
👉 Who it’s perfect for: Clients who want their hair to feel styled even when it’s air-dried, thrown up, or minimally touched. These cuts give shape and personality without needing hours of styling.
The Bottom Line
Fall 2025 is about lived-in hair with depth, shine, and movement. From brown sugar brunettes to buttery blondes, and from cherry cola pops to heavy bangs, these trends are all about confidence and personality.
The best part? They’re customizable. Whether you’re a low-maintenance client who wants seamless grow-out, or someone ready to make a bold seasonal change, there’s a fall trend that fits your lifestyle.
