Copper and Red Hair for Autumn

From subtle strawberry tones to deep reds and vibrant copper, there is plenty of room to make this look your own. A soft copper can add warmth without feeling like a dramatic change, while a richer red makes a striking statement on darker autumn days.
The right shade depends on your starting colour, the finish you love and how you prefer to maintain your hair. During your consultation, we will explore your options and plan a colour that feels right for you.
Face-Framing Fringe and Flowing Layers

This cut is all about shape and movement. The soft, face-framing fringe draws attention to the eyes, while layers through the lengths give the hair a fuller, lighter feel. Styled with a gentle flick at the ends, it has plenty of volume without losing its relaxed, wearable finish.
It is a lovely autumn refresh if you want to keep your length but feel ready for a change. Just book a consultation with our hair specialists in Cardiff and we can find the perfect hairstyle to suit your lifestyle and face shape.
Soft, Ashy Blonde Dimension

Autumn hair colour does not have to mean going warmer. This lovely client’s look pairs a deeper, cool-toned base with softly blended ash-blonde pieces through the lengths and around the face. The lighter strands catch the light and give the long, flowing waves beautiful movement, while the overall finish stays soft and natural-looking.
It is a lovely option if you want to brighten your hair while keeping depth at the roots.
The Soft, Layered Bob

If you’re ready to take some length off this autumn, a softly layered bob is a lovely way to bring fresh shape and movement to your hair. This Salon Nia look has airy layers, a side-swept front and a gently tousled finish that gives the cut volume without making it feel overly styled.
Your stylist can tailor the length and layers to suit your hair texture and how you like to wear it, whether you prefer a smooth finish or a little natural movement.
