Copper Balayage

Balayage is still one of the hottest hair trends, and this autumn we’re loving copper tones. Think rich amber, fiery copper, and soft strawberry shades, seamlessly blended through the hair to create warmth and depth with a glossy, modern finish.

Copper balayage works beautifully on most hair types and lengths. At Hair Lab Salons in Woking and Basingstoke, our stylists will tailor your balayage placement and tones to suit your haircut, lifestyle, and skin tone, creating a bespoke look that’s truly yours.

Why it works: Copper balayage brings instant vibrancy and glow, making your complexion look fresh and radiant — perfect for the cooler months.

Styling tip: Like all balayage, copper grows out softly and naturally, meaning you can enjoy a low-maintenance look while still turning heads with bold, seasonal colour.

Best for: Anyone who wants to embrace a statement autumn shade that’s versatile, stylish, and easy to look after.

Rich Brunettes

How perfect is this brunette shade with sun-kissed highlights for the new season? By weaving in glossy, rich tones like caramel and golden blonde, we can capture the warmth of autumn’s natural colours while adding dimension and shine to your hair.

Why it works: The contrast of deep brunette with lighter, golden tones creates a radiant, multi-dimensional finish that flatters all skin tones and adds that just-back-from-holiday glow.

Styling tip: Sun-kissed highlights grow out softly and naturally, making them ideal if you want a low-maintenance colour with maximum impact. Add a gloss treatment to boost shine and keep your brunette looking vibrant through the colder months.

Best for: Brunettes who want to brighten their look for autumn without going fully blonde. This style is perfect if you’re after a soft, natural finish with a touch of seasonal warmth.

Frosted Blonde

If you love turning heads, a frosted or platinum blonde is the ultimate statement this season. While autumn is often filled with warm, cosy tones, icy shades create a striking contrast against rich, seasonal wardrobes — think deep burgundy, chocolate browns, and forest greens.

Why it works: Frosted blonde instantly brightens your complexion and adds a modern, edgy vibe to your overall look, making it a perfect choice for anyone wanting to stand out.

Styling tip: Keep your icy tones looking fresh with a weekly deep-conditioning gloss treatment. This nourishes your hair while maintaining that crisp, cool shine.

Best for: Those with cool or neutral undertones who are ready for a fashion-forward, attention-grabbing style.
