You Autumn/Winter 2025 Hair Colour Trends Forecast
Looking for the best London salon for hair colour this season? At Haug London Haus, our team of colour experts are renowned for creating flawless shades – from seamless blondes and rich brunettes to natural grey blending and statement silver hues. As autumn/winter 2025 arrives, hair colour is taking a refined, sophisticated turn. Our creative director and leading London hair colour specialist, Siobhan Haug, shares the key colour trends set to define the season.
”This season’s colours are about subtle refinement. Each trend enhances the hair’s natural tone and texture, giving a polished yet effortless finish,” says Siobhan.
The Ecru Bronde Hair Trend
Ecru, defined by the shades found in unprocessed linen, silk and other textiles is reinterpreted as an elevated brunette. It’s subtle, neutral, and luminous. Interwoven tones of chocolate, beige and cream create a soft shimmer that feels both natural and chic.
Who does it suit?
Universally flattering, it works especially well when customised to your skin tone. Try buttercream, chocolate or beige for warm tones and ivory, taupe or mushroom for cool.
In the salon: Ask for a tint with highlights if you’d like to cover white hairs while achieving light-reflecting shimmer. For lower maintenance, a balayage finished with a glossy brunette glaze creates beautiful depth.
Upkeep: Low-maintenance and versatile. Simply refresh roots as needed or book a toner to revive shine.
Hair Inspiration: Suki Waterhouse for Michael Kors, Emily Ratajkowski for Gucci
Aspect Lights
A precise, face-framing highlight technique that places light exactly where it enhances your features. Soft babylights contour the face, hairline and shoulders, mimicking the way natural sunlight catches the hair.
Who does it suit?
Perfect for those with flat, heavy colour or highlights that have lost definition.
In the salon: Ask for a face-framing or partial balayage using layered babylights and darker lowlights to create movement and contrast.
Upkeep: Beautifully lived-in and low maintenance. Maintain tone and condition with a bespoke Haus Mix mask, blended in-salon and used weekly at home.
Hair Inspiration: Chloë Sevigny for Jimmy Choo, Charlize Theron
Hyper-Pigment Hues
This is colour at full intensity. It’s bold, layered, and saturated. A two-step process builds chromatic depth, creating vibrant tones with real staying power.
Who does it suit?
Anyone craving statement colour and ultra-rich vibrancy.
In the salon: Request a double-process or ultra-pigmented colour service for maximum depth and impact.
Upkeep: Maintain brilliance with a colour-depositing Haus Mix mask to keep tones fresh between visits.

Satin Blonde
A quiet luxury blonde, showcasing muted tones that are luminous and refined. Satin Blonde has a soft, light-reflecting quality that feels polished and effortlessly healthy.
Who does it suit?
Those seeking a sophisticated, understated blonde free from brassy tones.
In the salon: A golden toner softened with ash, fully developed for shine and colour longevity.
Upkeep: Nourish with a weekly deep-repair mask and seal with a lightweight oil for satin sheen.
Inspiration: Julia Garner for Gucci, Kate Moss and Claudia Schiffer
Griege
The elegant evolution of silver hair. A blend of grey, beige and natural silver, it creates a soft, translucent finish that celebrates natural colour while easing the transition from dyed to white hair.
Who does it suit?
Anyone with significant white or grey hair looking for a gentle, blended alternative to harsh regrowth or full coverage.
In the salon: Ask for translucent grey blending or soft face-framing highlights to balance your natural regrowth.
Upkeep: Minimal. Maintain with a silver or purple shampoo weekly to keep tones fresh and cool.
Hair Inspiration: Andie MacDowell, Cameron Diaz
Sombre Brunette
A sleek, velvety brunette that’s rich, cool-toned, and almost black. It’s understated yet powerful, with a glossy, light-catching finish.
Who does it suit?
Versatile and flattering across skin tones, especially striking on those with naturally dark hair.
In the salon: Request a deep, cool brunette with a gloss treatment to achieve that reflective, high-shine finish.
Upkeep: Maintain with protein treatments to strengthen and a lightweight oil for lasting gloss.
