Fall 2026 Hair Colour Trends: Velvet Espresso, Copper Bronde, and Mulled Wine

Having trouble deciding how to transition to fall, and what tones will best compliment you?

Every fall, the colour trends move in the same general direction - richer, warmer, deeper. But 2026 has a specific flavour, and if you're thinking about a change before the holidays, these are the three tones you'll see on every Instagram feed and in every salon chair in Campbell River this season.

1. Velvet Espresso

A deep, glossy brunette with cool undertones and almost no red. It reads expensive because it's uniform, high-shine, and completely rooted - no visible highlights. This is the go-to for anyone who wants to add richness without going black.

Best for: Natural brunettes wanting depth, or blondes ready for a full reset before winter.

In the salon: Book The Keep up, plan for 4 hours to let us spoil you and give you the full experience.

2. Copper Bronde

A soft blend of warm bronde and copper hand-painted through the mid-lengths and ends. Not quite ginger, not quite balayage - it's the middle-ground that flatters almost every skin tone under Vancouver Island Autumn light.

Best for: Existing blondes who want more warmth, or brunettes who want dimension without going too light.

In the salon: Book The Switch Up, plan for 3 hours to let us work our magic while you sip on one of our famous Lattes!

3. Mulled Wine

A saturated red-violet that reads chocolate indoors and glows red in sunlight. It's the boldest of the three but surprisingly wearable when done with the right undertone.

Best for: Anyone wanting a real change - this one photographs beautifully in fall light for your family pictures at the Pumpkin.

In the salon: Book The Keep Up, Plan for 3 hours while we do the work and you get to leave with a rich deep colour for long lasting low maintenance.

How to choose

The right tone depends on your undertone (warm, cool, or neutral), your maintenance appetite, and what your hair is starting from. Book a consultation with us - That 15 minutes with your stylist saves you weeks of "not quite right" colour.
