What’s Hot for Late Summer Into Autumn – And How to Wear It Now

The long summer days are starting to soften, and with cooler mornings and golden evenings on the way, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about your next hair colour move.

At Iconic Hairdressing, we’re always one step ahead when it comes to colour. Whether you’re ready for a bold transformation or just want to enhance your existing tone, we’ve got the inspiration and expertise to help you glow into the new season with confidence.

Here are the top pre-autumn hair colour trends for 2025 – as seen on celebrities, in fashion shows, and now landing in our chairs in Evesham and Pershore.

Why it’s trending: Copper tones are back in a big way

🍂 1. Copper Crush

Why it’s trending: Copper tones are back in a big way—but this time, they’re softer, richer and more wearable for a wider range of skin tones. Think burnt cinnamon, strawberry copper, and rosewood.

Best for: Blondes looking to warm things up, or brunettes who want something dimensional but not too bold.

In-salon upgrade: Try a copper gloss over your balayage or ask for a multi-tonal copper melt for a low-maintenance finish.

Stylist tip: Use Joico Color Infuse Copper shampoo to keep your colour vibrant between visits.

Deep, Glossy Brunette

🍫 2. Deep, Glossy Brunette

Why it’s trending: As the weather cools, deeper tones take centre stage. This isn’t just flat brown—it’s glossyrich, and full of depth. Espresso, dark chocolate, and mahogany are all in.

Best for: Natural brunettes wanting to enhance shine, or anyone ready for a sophisticated switch-up.

In-salon upgrade: Book a luxury brunette glossing treatment or ask about root melting to soften regrowth.

Product pick: Try Joico K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock for shine that lasts.

Mushroom Blonde

🍄 3. Mushroom Blonde

Why it’s trending: Neutral, cool, and effortlessly chic—mushroom blonde is the perfect transition shade for blondes not ready to go dark. It combines taupe, ash, and beige tones for a sophisticated look.

Best for: Summer blondes looking to tone down brassiness, or brunettes wanting to lighten subtly without going golden.

In-salon upgrade: Ask your Iconic colourist for a cool tone balayage or shadow root smudge to create lived-in dimension.

Stylist tip: Maintain with purple-toning shampoo and Dream Filter by Color Wow to remove minerals from your water supply.

Caramel Blends

☕ 4. Caramel Blends

Why it’s trending: Caramel highlights are warm, flattering, and a great way to brighten brunette bases. Worn thick or subtle, caramel tones bring softness and warmth into cooler months.

Best for: Brunettes or darker blondes looking for a sun-kissed but seasonally-appropriate shift.

In-salon upgrade: Add face-framing caramel ribbons or a warm-toned balayage for natural dimension.

Product pick: Use Joico Blonde Life Oil to keep those lighter pieces shiny, soft and nourished.

Shadow Roots & Root Melts

🌫️ 5. Shadow Roots & Root Melts

Why it’s trending: Perfect for busy lifestyles, this low-maintenance look allows you to stretch your colour between appointments without harsh lines. It also adds instant depth and dimension to any shade.

Best for: All hair colours—especially if you want seamless regrowth, blended colour, and a trend-led finish.

In-salon upgrade: Book a toner and root melt combo with your next cut or blow-dry to refresh your colour in under 45 minutes.
