Autumn Hair Colours 2026

Fresh Inspiration and Expert Colour Advice at Anthony James Hair Salon in Halifax

Autumn is a good excuse to look at your hair in a new light. You might want to deepen your current shade, brighten your blonde or try a colour you’ve had saved on your phone for months. The most beautiful result comes from making that idea work for your hair.

At Anthony James Hair Salon in Halifax, we’ll help you choose a colour that suits your complexion, your hair’s condition and the amount of upkeep you’re happy with.

Key Takeaways

  • Rich brunette, old money blonde, icy blonde and vivid colour are four gorgeous directions for autumn 2026.
  • Your starting colour and hair condition will shape what’s possible in one appointment.
  • A consultation helps us create a shade you’ll love wearing well beyond the first salon blow-dry.

Brunette, But Make It Rich

This is the season for brunette with depth and shine. Chocolate, chestnut and espresso tones can look wonderfully glossy, especially when there’s a little variation through the hair to catch the light.

If you’re already brunette, you don’t need a complete transformation to notice the difference. Refreshing faded colour or adding carefully placed lighter pieces could give your hair a richer, more dimensional finish. Our colourists will help you find the balance that feels right for you.

Old Money Blonde

Old money blonde looks soft, beautifully blended and quietly luxurious. Think creamy or beige blonde with subtle variation, rather than one solid shade from root to tip.

It’s a lovely way to take a bright summer blonde into autumn without losing the lightness you enjoy. Depending on your hair, we may suggest delicate highlights, a softer root or a change in tone to create that effortlessly polished finish.

A Cooler Take on Blonde

Autumn doesn’t have to mean warmer hair. Icy blonde is crisp, striking and especially beautiful when the hair looks glossy and well cared for.

This is a shade to plan with your colourist. How light we can take your hair, whether it can be achieved in one visit and the care it will need afterwards all depend on your starting point. We’ll talk you through it honestly and put your hair’s condition first.

Ready to Be a Little Bolder?

Deep cherry, plum, violet or something altogether brighter? Vivid colour can be as subtle or as fearless as you like. A few flashes of colour can change the feel of your style, while an all-over shade makes a real statement.

Bring us your inspiration pictures and we’ll discuss the finish you want, how it will work with your current colour and what you’ll need to do to keep it looking its best.
