Autumn Hair Trends 2025: Colours, Cuts & Styles
It’s the ideal time to update your appearance as the leaves begin to change and the air becomes slightly crisper. Rich, vivid hues, easily wearable styles, and stylish styling are all coming in autumn 2025, making it the ideal season for toasty evenings or refreshing morning coffee.
Our Edinburgh hairdressers at Sobo Hair Boutique are already ahead of the curve, combining individualised guidance with seasonal trends to create a new look that not only looks fantastic but also suits your daily needs. Here is what our stylists are raving about for the upcoming season, whether you’re ready for a complete makeover or a minor adjustment.
Autumn Hair Trends
1. Rich, Multi-Dimensional Brunettes
Though it’s not the flat brown of the past, chocolate brown is having a moment. For movement and warmth, consider deep espresso bases with balayage of caramel or cinnamon ribbons. This low-maintenance hue is ideal for adding brightness to brunette hair while maintaining the depth of fall.
Sobo tip: Our colourists use professional toners and treatments to keep your brunette shades glossy, hydrated, and fade-resistant between visits.
2. Copper & Cinnamon Tones
Nothing says autumn quite like warm copper. From soft strawberry blondes to bold ginger and burnt orange hues, these shades catch the light beautifully and complement the season’s palette.
Sobo tip: Coppers can fade faster than other tones, so we recommend booking in for a toner every 6–8 weeks to keep the vibrancy.
3. The Chic French Bob
All year long, this Parisian-inspired look has been a client favourite at our Edinburgh hair salon, and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down. It is sleek, contemporary, and simple to style, making it ideal for hectic mornings. It falls slightly over the chin or grazes the jawline.
Sobo tip: Pair with a deep side part for instant volume and a nod to retro glamour.
4. Long Layers with Curtain Bangs
For those not ready to go short, long layers paired with soft, face-framing curtain bangs are the ultimate low-commitment update. They add shape, movement, and softness to the face while keeping length intact.
Sobo tip: This style looks great with loose waves made with a medium heat setting and a round brush. Remember to use a heat protector!
5. Glossy Black Cherry
Deep, berry-toned reds are the statement shade for autumn 2025. Black cherry blends rich plum with a dark brunette base, creating a dramatic yet wearable colour that looks stunning in low autumn light.
Sobo tip: Kérastase Reflection Chromatique shampoo and conditioner will help lock in the richness of your shade.
6. Soft Waves & “Undone” Texture
Styling this season is moving towards lived-in, effortless texture – soft waves, a little tousle, and nothing too perfect. It’s a flattering look for all hair lengths and gives that just-stepped-out-of-the-salon feel without looking overdone.
Sobo tip: Our stylists love finishing with a lightweight texturising spray for hold without crunch.
