Fall is officially here, the holidays are around the corner, and your hair deserves a little seasonal upgrade.
The biggest thing everyone is chasing regardless of color, length, or texture? Shine! We’re seeing that everyone wants beautiful, healthy, and super shiny hair. Everywhere we look, mirror glass hair, shine, and glosses are what we’re reading about. Aside from beautiful shine, this season’s hair color trends are all about rich tones, dimensional depth, and glossy, lived-in shine that looks effortless (even when it’s not).
Whether you’re ready to go darker for sweater weather, want to warm up your blonde, or achieve Elsa level icyness, these are the top fall hair color trends of 2025 our color specialists at NOVA STRANDS Hair Salon in Frisco are loving.
1. Mocha Mousse Brunette
The it-color of fall for our brunette babes. Think warm mocha meets glossy espresso — rich, dimensional, and completely customizable.
Perfect for brunettes who want more tone-on-tone depth or for blondes ready to transition darker without losing that golden light.
Stylist tip: ask your NOVA STRANDS colorist for a root melt + soft caramel ribbons to create that subtle, light-catching dimension.
2. Buttery Blonde
While we love an icy blonde, there’s just something about buttery warmth that is too good to pass up during this time of year. This shade flatters every skin tone and makes your hair look instantly healthy and expensive.
Your stylist can tone your blonde toward honey, champagne, or vanilla for a creamy, natural finish that feels fresh for Texas fall.
Pro move: pair your blonde refresh with a gloss or tone to keep it shiny and prevent brassiness between visits.
3. Cherry Cola Red
Red hair is everywhere right now, and this version is wearable for everyone. Does it take you back to 2016? Because when we first saw this color coming back that’s exactly where we were transported to!
Cherry cola red combines deep brunette with warm red or burgundy undertones for a bold but soft finish.
It’s high-impact yet low-maintenance when it comes to reds because it grows out beautifully and keeps your hair feeling dimensional and luxe. Come in for a tone and gloss to keep it fresh amongst the cold weather, or ask us for our recommendations on color depositing shampoos and conditioners for at home maintenance!
4. The High-Gloss Finish
No matter which shade you choose, one thing’s certain, high shine is in.
Fall hair color trends are leaning healthy, glossy, and dimensional.
A toner, glaze, or gloss appointment between full colors can keep your tone fresh, extend your color, and make your hair feel silky smooth. Pair it with a blowout and you’re holiday party ready!
