Fall Hair Colors That Are Trending This Season + Rizzieri Tips for Making Them Last

09.15.2025

As the air cools and the leaves start to change, fall is the perfect time to refresh your look with a new hair color. Just like your wardrobe shifts with the season, your hair can follow suit, bringing in warmer, richer tones or bold, dramatic hues that reflect the beauty of autumn. At Rizzieri Salon & Spa, our expert colorists are here to help you choose the perfect shade for your skin tone and lifestyle, while also teaching you how to keep that gorgeous color vibrant and healthy all season long.

Trending Fall Hair Colors

This year’s fall palette offers a little something for everyone whether you want to go darker, lighter, or add a touch of dimension.

1. Warm Brunettes
 Chocolate, chestnut, and espresso tones are making a comeback. These rich shades add depth and shine, creating a sophisticated look that pairs perfectly with cozy fall styles.

2. Copper & Auburn Reds
 Red tones are huge this season, with copper, auburn, and cinnamon hues leading the way. They’re vibrant enough to make a statement yet natural enough to complement a variety of skin tones.

3. Golden & Honey Blondes
 Instead of summer’s bright, sun-kissed blondes, fall is all about deeper honey, caramel, and golden tones. These shades add warmth and dimension while looking softer against autumn light.

4. Mushroom Brown & Ash Tones
 For those who love a cooler palette, mushroom brown, smoky brunettes, and ash blondes continue to trend. These shades bring a chic, modern edge to any style.

5. Dimensional Highlights & Balayage
 Low-maintenance looks like balayage and lived-in highlights are still popular. They’re the perfect choice if you want a natural grow-out without frequent touch-ups.

Matching Hair Color to Your Skin Tone

Choosing a color that complements your complexion is key to a flawless look. Here are some general guidelines:

• Fair Skin with Cool Undertones: Platinum, ash blonde, or cool-toned reds (like strawberry or burgundy) enhance your natural glow.
  
  
• Fair Skin with Warm Undertones: Golden blondes, honey highlights, or warm coppers create balance and warmth.
  
  
• Medium/Olive Skin: Rich brunettes, caramel highlights, or auburn shades work beautifully. This skin tone can also pull off bold fall reds.
  
  
• Deep Skin Tones: Espresso, dark chocolate, or warm mahogany shades are stunning. Vibrant coppers and deep blondes also pop against deeper complexions.

Rizzieri’s Tips for Making Hair Color Last

Investing in a gorgeous new shade means taking the right steps to protect it. Our stylists recommend:

• Use Professional Color-Safe Products: Swap drugstore shampoos for sulfate-free, salon-quality formulas that protect against fading.
  
  
• Turn Down the Heat: Hot water and heat tools strip color faster. Wash with lukewarm water and always use a heat protectant when styling.
  
  
• Schedule Gloss or Toner Appointments: A quick gloss service in between coloring sessions revives shine and refreshes tone.
  
  
• Deep Condition Weekly: Hydrated hair holds onto pigment better. Ask about Rizzieri’s treatments to nourish your strands.
  
  
• Protect from the Sun & Elements: Just because it’s fall doesn’t mean UV rays won’t impact your color. Use a leave-in with UV protection when outdoors.
