As summer fades and the light starts to shift, it’s the perfect time to think about fall hair colour trends and refreshing your colour. Fall is one of the most popular seasons for a colour change, and for good reason: warmer tones photograph beautifully against changing leaves, and cooler weather means less sun exposure to fade a fresh result. Here’s what we’re seeing clients ask for this season at The Hairapy in Maple Ridge, and what might be worth considering for your next appointment.
Warm, Rich Brunettes
After a summer of blonding and brightness, many clients are drifting back toward deeper, richer brunette tones. Think warm chocolate, chestnut, or caramel-kissed brown, colours that feel cozy without going flat or one-dimensional. This is a great option if you want lower maintenance than blonde, since regrowth tends to blend more naturally into a warm brunette base.
Copper and Auburn
Copper has quietly become one of the most requested fall shades, and it’s easy to see why, it’s warm, striking, and pairs beautifully with the season’s palette. Auburn (a deeper, more muted red-brown) is a softer alternative if you want the warmth of copper without as much boldness.
Soft, Blended Blonde
If you’re not ready to give up blonde for the season, the trend is shifting toward softer, more natural-looking dimension rather than high-contrast highlights. Think warm honey and caramel tones woven through a base, rather than stark platinum pieces. This kind of blended look also tends to grow out more gracefully, which matters if your schedule doesn’t allow for frequent touch-ups.
“Your Fall Refresh” Doesn’t Have to Mean Drastic
Not every fall colour change needs to be a full transformation. Sometimes a fall refresh is as simple as:
- A root touch-up to clean up your existing colour
- Adding a gloss or toner to warm up your tone for the season
- A few strategically placed foils to soften your regrowth line
At The Hairapy, every colour service is formulated using Matrix, our team includes a certified Matrix educator, so you’re always getting consistent, professionally-trained results, whatever direction you choose this season.
Booking Your Fall Colour
Fall tends to be a busy season for colour appointments, since a lot of clients are thinking the same thing at once. If you have a specific look in mind, we always recommend booking a consultation first, it lets us walk you through timing, cost, and what’s realistic for your hair’s current condition before anything gets started.
