Fall is finally here, and with it comes the perfect excuse to refresh your look with a cozy new hair color. At Parisian Salon & Day Spa, our stylists have been busy helping clients embrace the shift in seasons with rich, dimensional tones that pair beautifully with autumn fashion and cooler weather. This year, we’re seeing a gorgeous blend of warm classics, subtle modern updates, and bold statement shades. Here’s a closer look at the fall hair colors that are turning heads in our chairs right now.
Honey Wheat Blonde
Think of honey wheat blonde as the perfect balance between summer brightness and fall warmth. It’s a soft golden blonde with gentle beige undertones, making it universally flattering. This shade is ideal for natural blondes who want a little more richness for the cooler months, or for brunettes looking to add sun-kissed dimension without going too light. The warm gold tones also enhance your skin’s natural glow, especially as the tan from summer fades. Pair it with loose waves for a relaxed, “I woke up like this” vibe that still looks polished.
Smoked Suede Brunette
Smoked suede brunette is one of the most effortlessly chic trends we’ve seen in years. It’s a rich, medium-to-dark brown that combines warm chocolate tones with a smoky, cool finish for incredible depth. The result? A shade that works with almost any complexion and grows out seamlessly—no harsh demarcation lines. This color is perfect for clients who want a luxurious, low-maintenance look. Adding subtle face-framing highlights in caramel or toffee can give it a little extra movement and brightness around the face.
“Carolyn Bessette Blonde”
This timeless shade has been revived thanks to the renewed fascination with ’90s minimalism. Inspired by the effortlessly elegant Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, this blonde is all about natural, lived-in dimension. Instead of stark highlights, it features fine ribbons of pale blonde blended with your base color, creating that subtle, “born with it” look. It’s not overly glossy or overly cool—just a soft, refined blonde that feels sophisticated and unfussy. For clients who want blonde without the constant upkeep, this is a dream option.
Deep Velvet Burgundy & Black Cherry Gloss
If you’re ready to make a statement this fall, these jewel-toned shades are the way to go. Deep velvet burgundy is a dark, luxurious red with a violet undertone, while black cherry adds even more drama with deep plum notes. Both shades work beautifully on medium to dark hair, especially when layered over a rich brunette base. The key to keeping these colors vibrant is regular gloss treatments—our stylists love adding a high-shine finish that makes these tones look almost luminous under fall light. Bonus: they pair stunningly with autumn’s darker wardrobes.
Soft Ginger & Spiced Red Tones
Ginger shades are having a major moment, but this year they’re softer and more wearable than ever. Soft ginger blends golden and copper tones for a warm, glowing finish, while spiced red adds hints of cinnamon or merlot for extra depth. These colors look especially striking in the sunlight, making them perfect for clients who want a seasonal refresh without going too bold. They’re also incredibly versatile—wear them as a full hair color, or weave them through your hair as highlights or balayage for a subtle autumn glow.
Buttery Champagne Blonde
For those who love blonde but want something more seasonally appropriate than icy platinum, buttery champagne is the answer. This hue mixes creamy gold and soft beige tones to create a warm, luminous color that flatters all skin tones. It’s especially beautiful on layered cuts or styles with soft curls, as the light catches every dimension. To keep it looking fresh, we recommend a toning treatment every 6–8 weeks to maintain that perfect balance of warmth and brightness.
Why Our Stylists Love These Shades

How to Keep Your Fall Color Looking Its Best
Book regular glossing sessions: This keeps your color fresh and vibrant, especially for reds and deeper jewel tones.
Use color-safe, sulfate-free products: Protect your investment by avoiding harsh cleansers that strip pigment.
Protect from heat: Use a thermal protectant before styling to maintain shine and prevent fading.
Refresh your look every 6–8 weeks: Whether it’s a root touch-up, toner, or subtle highlights, small updates keep your hair looking its best all season long.
