Summer’s tousled waves and beachy blondes give way to something sleeker for autumn/winter. It’s all about sharp lines, groomed finishes, and ultra-healthy hair. The cut is chic, manageable, and perfect for showing off rich, multi-dimensional colour. As the nights draw in and the air becomes cooler, now is the perfect time to make hair health a priority. Incorporating deep conditioning treatments into your routine will revitalize dry, brittle strands, ensuring your hair remains in its best, gleaming condition throughout the season.

As the leaves turn golden and the air gets crisp, there’s a new shade of blonde sweeping through the salon that perfectly mirrors the season: maple butter blonde. This rich, warm-toned hue has quickly become the go-to hair colour for those looking to embrace a fresh, autumnal glow. Think buttery blonde meets honey-dipped caramel—a blend that’s luxurious, natural, and oh-so-flattering.
Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and eternal brunette Angelina Jolie have already been spotted with this autumnal twist on classic bronde, showcasing how versatile it is. Whether styled in soft waves or sleek straight looks, maple butter blonde adds dimension and warmth to any complexion. The key lies in the subtle interplay of golden highlights and slightly deeper caramel lowlights, creating that sun-kissed glow we all crave even as the days get shorter.
“What makes this trend so irresistible is its low-maintenance appeal,” says Artistic Director, Laura Leigh. “The darker roots and multi-tonal shades mean you won’t be rushing to the salon for constant touch-ups. Instead, the colour evolves naturally, giving off an effortless, lived-in vibe that complements autumn wardrobes of cozy knits and earth-toned layers.”

Whether you’re looking to go a fiery shade of spiced copper or a subtle burgundy brunette, red hair – in all its forms is back. “The resurgence of red hair is huge in the salon at the moment and we are seeing more clients wanting to change to their look,” says Colour Specialist, Nadine Nolan. “With the broad range of red tones available within L’Oreal Professionnel, we can create a bespoke shade as subtle or bold as you like.”
Blake Lively has upgraded her signature golden blonde tresses for a delicious copper hue for her role as Lily Bloom in the acclaimed film adaptation of Colleen Hoover in ‘It Ends With Us.’ This is achieved, Nadine says, “with a warm copper toner over a blonde base or a combination of highlights and lowlights that gives that lovely autumnal warmth while still keeping the base light.”
Offering warmth and a luscious shine, dark, ‘burgundy brown’ is perfect for those with brunette hair, who are looking for a fun change or to add multifaceted depth. As Nadine says, “This is also a great way to try the trend without going all-out with a high-maintenance cherry red shade and is perfect for the autumn/winter season.” 
Put down your salt spray, autumn is here and is bringing some serious new season/new me vibes. Just as our wardrobes demand a shift as we learn to adjust to colder climes, our hair takes on a new significance as we lean into the the natural earthy hues of the autumn palette. “This is the time to subtly mark the end of summer as we enhance our base colour with richer, glossier shades that feel indulgent yet comforting,” says Artistic Director, Laura Leigh.
The change of season paves the way for the return of the sharp, glossy cut. After a summer of low key-styles everyone feels the itch for something fresh and new, and the French girl bob, epitomised by Lily Collins in ‘Emily in Paris,’ looks impeccably groomed, glossy and rich. This iteration of the bob is point cut precisely in line with the jaw, so Laura recommends keeping the ends textured for a modern take on this perennially chic haircut.
Style Director, Luke Davis has been off travelling through Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam for the last few months and we’re thrilled to have him back in the salon where he is raring to go. “I’m so looking forward to catching up with all my old clients and getting back to what I love most, creating great hair with a great team,” he says. As one of our most in-demand and creative hairdressers, with global experience at salons from Germany to Australia, Luke always returns reinvigorated and inspired by his adventures.
