Fall is the season when everything shifts. The air turns crisp, wardrobes become richer and more layered, and hair color takes a dramatic and exciting turn. This year our stylists are seeing some stunning trends that combine warmth, depth, and creativity. Fall 2025 is all about hair that feels bold yet wearable, with tones that flatter natural beauty and enhance confidence. Whether you are ready for a subtle refresh or a major transformation, there is a color trend this season designed just for you.

Below are the top hair colors our Square One stylists are loving right now, along with guidance on which skin tones they flatter best.

Cinnamon Brunette

One of the most popular shades we are seeing this season is cinnamon brunette. This rich, warm brown is layered with glowing cinnamon accents that catch the light beautifully. Think of it as brunette hair kissed with a soft spice glow. The effect is multidimensional and adds warmth without being overpowering.

Cinnamon brunette looks especially flattering on clients with medium or olive skin tones. The warm undertones bring out a golden glow in the complexion and enhance brown and hazel eyes. For those with lighter skin, cinnamon highlights can add a sun-kissed effect that brightens the overall look without feeling too summery.

Honey Blonde

Blondes are trending this fall, but not the icy platinum shades of the past. This year it is all about honey blonde. Soft golden tones woven into blonde hair create a warm and approachable finish. Honey blonde hair color feels luxurious and polished, yet natural enough to wear every day.

This shade works beautifully on clients with warm or neutral undertones in their skin. Those with fair skin will notice that honey blonde adds a radiant warmth to the complexion, while deeper skin tones benefit from the luminous contrast the color creates. Honey blonde also pairs wonderfully with textured hair, where the golden tones add depth and dimension.

Rich Cabernet

Inspired by fall’s favorite wines, rich cabernet is one of the most dramatic colors of the season. This shade blends deep red with hints of purple, creating a bold jewel-toned effect that stands out while still feeling sophisticated. The result is striking, modern, and elegant.

Rich cabernet is a stunning choice for clients with cool undertones. Fair complexions with pink undertones come alive against the vibrancy of this shade, while deeper cool skin tones gain a gorgeous contrast that feels regal. It is a wonderful option for anyone ready to make a statement this season.

Toffee Balayage

Balayage hair color continues to be one of the most requested techniques, and this fall it is all about toffee balayage. Imagine a natural brunette base seamlessly blended into caramel and toffee colored ribbons. The effect is both low maintenance and high impact. Toffee balayage feels youthful, modern, and effortlessly chic.

This look is ideal for clients with warm or olive skin tones, since the toffee accents enhance golden undertones in the complexion. It also flatters neutral undertones by adding warmth without overwhelming the skin. Because balayage grows out so gracefully, it is perfect for busy clients who want a fresh style without constant upkeep.

Chestnut Copper

If you love the idea of red but want something more subtle than cabernet, chestnut copper may be your perfect match. This shade combines a deep brunette base with radiant copper undertones, creating a shimmering effect when it catches the light. It feels autumnal without being too bold and adds a lively glow to any haircut.

Chestnut copper is versatile and suits a wide range of skin tones. Clients with fair skin will enjoy how the copper reflects warmth and brightens their look, while those with deeper skin tones will appreciate the richness that chestnut provides. It is one of the most universally flattering reds our stylists are using this season.

Espresso Black

For those who prefer darker shades, espresso black is making a strong comeback this fall. This is not a flat black, but a rich espresso tone with hints of dark brown. The result is a glossy, dramatic color that exudes sophistication and confidence.

Espresso black shines on clients with deeper skin tones, creating a seamless, natural look that enhances features. On fair complexions, it creates a striking contrast, giving an edgy high-fashion feel. Our stylists recommend adding soft layers or waves to espresso black hair to showcase its shine and dimension.

Golden Auburn

Golden auburn is another standout trend this year, especially for clients who want a vibrant yet approachable color. This shade blends warm red with golden highlights, giving hair a radiant, fiery finish. It captures the essence of fall leaves with its glowing multidimensional tones.

Golden auburn looks gorgeous on warm skin tones, enhancing peachy or golden undertones. It also brings a lively brightness to medium complexions. For cooler undertones, pairing golden auburn with a subtle shadow root can create balance while still enjoying the vibrancy of the shade.
