Fall Hair Color Trends: Transform Your Look This Season with Martino Cartier Salon

As the air turns crisp and the leaves shift into shades of gold and crimson, there’s no better time to refresh your look. Fall is nature’s own color story, and at Martino Cartier Salon, we believe your hair can tell one, too.

Seasonal color changes aren’t just about following trends; they’re about capturing the essence of the moment and enhancing your natural beauty. This year’s fall hair color palette is rich, dimensional, and full of depth, perfect for cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice everything, and new beginnings.

Here’s your insider guide to the top fall hair color trends of the season, curated and perfected by our award-winning team.

1. Warm Caramel Balayage

Balayage isn’t going anywhere this fall, it’s just warming up. Caramel tones bring a soft, golden glow to brunettes, adding movement and brightness without a harsh grow-out line.

We hand-paint caramel ribbons into your hair for a sun-kissed effect that transitions beautifully from summer. Pair it with soft waves for a relaxed, effortlessly chic look, or style sleek for a more polished finish.

Best for: Medium to dark brunettes who want low-maintenance dimension.

2. Rich Chocolate Browns

If summer was all about light and bright, fall is your invitation to embrace depth and richness. Chocolate brown shades with subtle, tone-on-tone highlights create a sophisticated and glossy effect.

Our colorists customize your brown with undertones that complement your skin, warm for a golden glow, or cool for a velvety, espresso vibe. A professional gloss treatment seals the color and delivers that enviable shine.

Best for: Anyone craving a timeless, polished look that feels seasonally appropriate.

3. Auburn & Cinnamon Spice

Fall’s boldest trend? Reds with personality. Auburn and cinnamon tones bring a fiery yet wearable vibrancy that instantly brightens the complexion.

Our stylists blend multiple shades to avoid flat, one-note color think coppery undertones, mahogany depth, and glimmers of gold. This multidimensional approach ensures your red looks natural yet striking.

Best for: Those ready for a confident change that turns heads and complements fall fashion.

4. Honey Blonde Glow

Who says blondes have to go dark for fall? This year, warm honey blondes are having their moment. By softening bright summer tones into deeper golden hues, you keep the lightness you love while harmonizing with the season’s colors.

We recommend adding lowlights for depth, paired with a warm glaze to give that “lit-from-within” radiance.

Best for: Natural blondes or light brunettes looking for a warmer, cozier fall update.

5. Smoky Espresso with Subtle Highlights

For those who love a dramatic, moody vibe, smoky espresso is the perfect choice for fall. Think deep, dark chocolate with just a hint of lighter strands to catch the light.

This look is chic, sleek, and especially striking on straight or blunt styles. The subtle highlights add dimension without breaking the richness of the base color.

Best for: Anyone seeking a bold, high-fashion statement that remains workplace-friendly.

6. Rooted & Lived-In Color

If your schedule doesn’t allow for constant touch-ups, the rooted trend is your new best friend. This technique intentionally keeps the root area darker, blending seamlessly into lighter mids and ends.

It’s stylish, easy to maintain, and grows out beautifully, perfect for busy parents, professionals, or students. Our stylists can combine this with any seasonal color tone for a personalized look.

Best for: Low-maintenance beauty lovers who want longevity from their color.

Why Fall Is the Perfect Time for a Color Refresh

The change in seasons isn’t just an excuse to try something new, it’s also the ideal moment to care for your hair after summer’s wear and tear. Sun, chlorine, and saltwater can leave hair faded and dry. A professional color service does more than transform your shade it restores shine, strength, and vitality.

We use premium color lines and conditioning treatments to ensure your new hue looks as healthy as it does stunning.
