Fall Hair Refresh: How to Transition Your Colour & Cut for Autumn
As the leaves change, so should your hair. Autumn is the perfect time to refresh your look after the sun, heat, and humidity of summer. Whether you want to deepen your hair colour, blend your greys seamlessly, or remove dry, damaged ends, the seasonal shift is a natural cue to treat your hair to a reset. Fall is the perfect time to breathe new life into your colour and cut, and at Hair Creations, we’re here to help you do it beautifully.
At Hair Creations, we specialize in grey blending using Aveda colour—so whether you're craving warmer caramel tones, rich chocolates, or a vibrant copper boost, we'll help you find a tone that flatters your skin and suits the season. Pair your new shade with a shape-enhancing cut or a nourishing Botanical Repair treatment to restore shine and strength.
Why Fall Is the Best Time to Refresh Your Hair
The cooler months are ideal for:
Shifting to richer, warmer hair tones that flatter fall wardrobes and lighting
Removing dry or damaged ends from sun exposure or heat styling
Rebalancing moisture lost during the summer with deeply nourishing treatments
Laying the foundation for healthy hair growth before winter dryness kicks in
Whether you're craving a subtle change or ready for a bold new look, we’re seeing guests embrace dimensional brunettes, caramel glosses, soft copper tones, and cozy mushroom blondes this season.
Our Signature Approach: Aveda Hair Colour + Gloss
At Hair Creations, we proudly use Aveda full-spectrum™ professional hair colour—a 93–96% naturally derived, cruelty-free, vegan colour line that prioritizes both performance and plant-powered care.
Aveda hair colour is:
Custom-blended to flatter your complexion and style goals
Infused with conditioning oils, like organic sunflower, castor, and jojoba, to leave hair looking and feeling healthier
Fade-resistant and vibrant, offering long-lasting results with minimal damage
And we always include a toner or gloss as part of your colour service.
What does a gloss do?
A gloss, or toner, is applied after your main colour to refine your tone, neutralize brassiness, boost shine, and seal in hydration. It’s a vital step in maintaining colour longevity—and leaves your hair with that silky, light-reflecting finish that screams “fresh from the salon.”
Treat Your Hair to What It Needs Most
Along with your colour refresh, fall is the perfect time to give your hair a targeted treatment. Whether you're dealing with dryness, breakage, or dullness, we recommend:
Botanical Repair™ Strengthening Treatment
Instantly strengthens and repairs hair from the inside out
Ideal for post-summer damage or chemically treated hair
Lightweight and silicone-free, safe for all hair types
Nutriplenish™ Moisture Mask
Deeply hydrates dry hair with organic pomegranate oil and coconut oil
Available in light and deep moisture formulas
Scalp Solutions Exfoliating Treatment
Removes buildup from sweat, SPF, and product use
Prepares the scalp for healthy winter hair growth
These treatments can be added to your service or taken home as part of your fall hair care routine. Ask your stylist which one is best for your needs!
Not Sure Where to Start?
If you’re unsure about your next move—whether to deepen your tone, blend your greys, or reshape your cut—book a consultation. We’ll walk you through your options, assess your hair health, and co-create a plan that fits your style and lifestyle.
Fall is all about letting go of what no longer serves you and embracing change. Let’s start with your hair.
Bonus Tip:
Pair your new colour with Aveda's Color Control™ Leave-In Treatment, which helps protect colour from fading and adds an extra layer of shine and softness. Great for extending the life of your toner or gloss between appointments!
