Pumpkin spice, cold-brew, toasted coconut. Nothing like matching your hair to your favourite cup of joe.
When it comes to choosing your colour, there’s a kind-of tradition that the cooler season means warmer hair. Chocolate browns, deep coppers, or an easy-going balayage that blends the two, I’ve been saving more images to my Instagram feed than ever before (I don’t even dye my hair, I just really enjoy a 10/10 hair picture). Choosing balayage means your colour will grow out more comfortably – without distinct roots – and allows for more tones to be added to the overall look.
Now that the air is (uncomfortably) cold, we’re more than happy to sit in a salon chair for those extra few hours and go for a colour as well as a cut. But, which to choose? Take a look at the inspiration right here. A wondrous selection of autumn-infused colour.

Can you combine a haircut with a colour appointment in autumn?
Yes, you can book a colour as well as a cut during your salon visit. Sitting in the chair for both services is common in autumn, as the cooler weather encourages people to refresh their style and try new shades at the same time.
