Our Favorite Fall Hair Color Trends — Straight from Stella Nova Stylists
Fall is officially here in Charleston, and that means it’s time for cozy sweaters, cooler air, and fresh hair color. Whether you're ready for a bold new look or just want to warm things up a bit, our expert stylists at Stella Nova are here to help you fall in love with your hair this season.
Here are some of the top fall hair color trends for 2025—straight from the salon floor:
Caramel Highlights for Brunettes
Brunette hair is getting a serious glow-up this fall. Soft caramel highlights add warmth, shine, and dimension—perfect for the season. This look pairs beautifully with dark brown or espresso bases and is easy to maintain with the right gloss and toner.
Cinnamon and Copper Tones
Rich copper, cinnamon, and auburn shades are everywhere this fall—and for good reason. These warm red tones complement a wide range of complexions and instantly add vibrance and depth. Whether you go all-in with a full color or keep it subtle with balayage, it’s a flattering and seasonally on-point shift.
Mushroom Brown and Smoky Brunette
Cool, ashy tones are still going strong this year. Mushroom brown—a blend of taupe, ash, and soft mocha—is the perfect neutral option for those who want something modern but understated. It’s polished, dimensional, and ideal for cooler months.
Chestnut and Chocolate Balayage
One of our most requested looks for fall, chestnut and chocolate balayage gives brunettes a soft, natural-looking lift. This color technique grows out beautifully, making it a great choice if you want richness and shine without constant upkeep.
Glossy Hair with a Seasonal Shine Treatment
Not ready to commit to a new color? A gloss treatment can work wonders. Whether you choose a clear gloss for shine or a tinted version to refresh your tone, this quick in-salon service leaves hair silky, vibrant, and ready for any occasion.
