Moody Autumn Tones
Moody Autumn Tones

Dark, delicious, and dangerously tempting tones are taking centre stage this autumn. Think Espresso Brunettes, Moody Merlot, and Crimson Copper for hair with depth, richness, and personality. While low-maintenance colour remains a must-have, we're moving away from flat, one-dimensional shades and embracing colours that feel luxurious, glossy, and full of depth. The overall look is effortlessly expensive, with plenty of shine and seamless blending.

The secret to keeping these autumnal hues looking their best? Staying on top of your demi-gloss appointments and in-between maintenance treatments to preserve that shine and richness.

Feathered Layering
Feathered Layering

Soft, sweeping, and effortlessly wearable, this is the most requested cut of 2026.

By tapering the hair to create movement and volume, this cut helps your hair work for you, not the other way around. The natural shape and flow make styling quicker and easier, perfect for those who prefer a low-maintenance routine. For thicker hair, soft layers remove weight where it's needed, leaving hair feeling lighter, more manageable, and less bulky while maintaining shape and body. For finer hair types, it creates the illusion of fullness by adding lift, movement, and dimension.

Paired with a good blow dry, the result is hair that looks fuller, bouncier, and effortlessly styled.

Witchy waves
Witchy Waves

This autumn's trends are heavily influenced by the rise of Dark Academia, gothic romance, and all things magical. With Practical Magic 2 reigniting excitement around the enchanting aesthetic, it's the perfect time to embrace a little mystery and whimsy in your look. After all, who wouldn't want to channel a touch of magic?

Witchy waves are soft, romantic, and effortlessly undone. Created by brushing out curls made with heated styling tools, they transform structured curls into flowing, ethereal waves with plenty of movement and texture. The result is a beautifully lived-in style that feels both elegant and enchanting.

It's all about enjoying a little extra self-care throughout the season, with budget-friendly appointments that keep your hair looking healthy, fresh and effortlessly low maintenance.
