Icy Blonde
If you want to stand out this season, icy blonde is the ultimate high-impact colour to go for. With platinum and silver undertones, it creates a striking contrast against the rich and deep colours of autumn fashion.
Why it works: Cool blonde shades are bold, chic, and timeless — perfect for those who want to turn heads.
Styling tip: Maintain your icy tone with a purple shampoo to prevent brassiness and keep your blonde sparkling. Try the L'Oreal Professionnel Blondifier range.
Best for: Those with cool or neutral undertones looking for a sleek and sophisticated look.
Our expert colourists at Johnson Blythe will help you choose the right icy shade to complement your skin tone and style.
Autumn Balayage
Balayage is not just a summer favourite — it works beautifully in autumn too. Golden honey, caramel and amber tones give your hair natural-looking warmth and dimension.
Why it works: Golden balayage softens your look, brightens your complexion and adds texture and movement to your locks.
Styling tip: Keep your colour radiant with a glossing treatment between appointments.
Best for: Anyone who wants a low-maintenance look that grows out seamlessly while still looking polished.
Our stylists can customise your balayage to enhance your haircut and flatter your face shape.
Copper Red
Nothing captures autumn quite like copper. From fiery auburns to deep, ruby-infused shades, copper red is bold, dynamic, and full of character.
Why it works: The rich warmth of copper reflects beautifully in autumn sunlight, adding depth and vibrancy.
Styling tip: Switch to a colour-protecting shampoo and conditioner to lock in shine and preserve intensity.
Best for: Those ready to make a statement with a vibrant, autumn-ready hue.
If vivid copper red isn't the right shade for you, speak to your colourist, who can recommend something that will work with your hair and skin tone. From pale strawberry blonde to dark plum red, there's a red shade for everyone.
Deep Jewel Tones
Rich, deep jewel tones are a popular trend this autumn. We've seen requests for shades such as amethyst purple and sapphire blue in the salon already, but you could also try emerald green or ruby red.
Why it works: Jewel coloured pigments are flattering for most people. They can be used as a subtle pop of colour and depth or a luxurious, full transformation.
Styling tip: Jewel colours look best when they are maintained with shine enhancing hair care products. Try the L'Oreal Vitamino Color Spectrum range, available in salon.
Best for: Anyone who wants to make a striking, unusual statement with their hair colour. Jewel tones are striking and beautiful without being too vivid or bold.
