We’ve trimmed, detoxed, and repaired — now it’s time for the fun part: color. Each year, clients ask whether they should go darker for Fall. Our answer? For most, absolutely. Deeper tones mirror the season’s mood, add shine, and give hair a thicker, healthier appearance. At Hair N’ Now NYC, we customize rich Fall hues using only the most trusted professional color lines — including Goldwell, Wella, Oribe, and L’Oréal Professionnel INOA, the ammonia-free choice loved by clients seeking a gentler approach to hair color.
1. Black Hair
Natural black shades look richer with a gloss boost. We recommend Goldwell Rich Naturals for multidimensional shine without flatness, giving black hair renewed depth for Autumn light.
2. Brown Hair
Brunettes shine with L’Oréal Professionnel Majirel Cool Browns, or the ammonia-free L’Oréal Professionel INOA Natural Browns. Both deliver beautiful, multi-tonal results, while Wella Illumina Chestnut Shades create soft, modern dimension — one of 2025’s biggest trends.
3. Blonde Hair
Blondes ready to warm up for Fall transition beautifully into buttery caramel or honey tones with Goldwell Colorance Demi-Permanent. For those staying icy, Oribe Bright Blonde Radiance & Repair Treatment keeps light shades vibrant, silky, and free from brassiness.
4. Red Hair
Rich coppers and auburns are having a Manhattan moment this season. Wella Koleston Reds bring vibrancy and saturation, while Oribe Color Masque for Beautiful Color locks in brilliance between salon visits.
5. White/Gray Hair
Silver and gray can be elevated with subtle lowlights or shadow rooting. Wella Koleston Perfect Special Mix creates luminous depth, while Oribe Silverati Shampoo maintains a bright, polished finish without yellowing.
Going darker for Fall isn’t just a style choice — it’s a seasonal refresh that resets your look after summer and highlights your healthiest, shiniest hair. Ready for your new shade? Book your NYC professional color services today at Hair N’ Now NYC: (212) 288-4413.
