Refresh Your Colour For The New Season at Peter Gotthard Hairdressing in Harrogate

Key Takeaways

This year’s autumn hair colour trends include beautifully polished blondes, warm rose-toned brunettes, bold copper shades and creative fashion colours. At Peter Gotthard Hairdressing in Harrogate, we will tailor your chosen look to complement your complexion, haircut and personal style.
Expensive Old Money Blonde
Expensive old money blonde is all about understated luxury. Instead of one solid, very bright blonde, this look combines soft highlights, lowlights and carefully blended tones to create natural-looking depth.
Think creamy blonde, soft beige, champagne and delicate golden tones, with a beautifully blended finish and healthy shine. The colour should look polished and effortless, with no harsh lines or obvious regrowth.
It is also a particularly wearable choice for autumn. Adding a little warmth or depth can soften an overly light summer blonde while making the hair appear fuller and more dimensional.
Your Peter Gotthard colourist will create a bespoke combination of shades to suit your natural colour, complexion and preferred level of maintenance.
Rose Gold Brunette
Rose gold brunette brings a delicate warmth to brown hair without taking it fully into red or copper territory. It blends glossy brunette shades with subtle pink, rosy or warm golden tones, creating a colour that catches the light beautifully.
The finish can be as soft or noticeable as you like. A subtle rose-toned gloss can give brunette hair a gentle seasonal update, while more visible rose gold sections create a modern, fashion-led look.
This trend works particularly well when added through balayage, face-framing pieces or a personalised toner. Because the colour is tailored to your starting shade, it can be adapted for lighter brown, deeper brunette and previously coloured hair.
Bold Copper Hair Colour
Copper remains one of autumn’s most striking hair colour choices. Warm, glossy and full of character, it suits the richer colours and softer light of the season perfectly.
There is no single copper shade. Your colourist could create a bright orange copper, a rich auburn, a deeper burnished tone or a lighter strawberry copper, depending on the result you want.
A multi-tonal approach can make copper feel especially luxurious. Lighter ribbons add brightness, while deeper tones create richness and dimension. Your stylist will recommend the right balance of warm shades to complement your skin tone and enhance your haircut.
Vivid Fashion Hair Colours
For those ready to make a bolder change, autumn is a brilliant time to explore vivid fashion colours.
Deep cherry, burgundy, vibrant red, rich purple and jewel-inspired shades can all create a dramatic seasonal transformation. Fashion colours can be applied throughout the hair or introduced more subtly through panels, face-framing sections or hidden flashes of colour.
Creating vivid colour sometimes requires the hair to be lightened first, so the process and final result will depend on your existing shade and colour history. A thorough consultation allows us to plan your transformation while protecting the condition of your hair.
Keep Your Autumn Hair Colour Looking Fresh
Beautiful hair colour needs the right maintenance. How often you should return to the salon will depend on your chosen shade, the condition of your hair and how quickly it fades.
Regular toner appointments can refresh the tone between larger colour services. A toner can help neutralise unwanted warmth in blonde hair, revive a fading copper or brunette shade and restore shine without repeating your full colour appointment.
Vivid and warmer colours may fade more quickly than natural shades, so your stylist may also recommend a suitable colour-protecting shampoo, conditioner or colour-depositing product to use at home.
Washing your hair in cooler water, reducing excessive heat styling and using heat protection can also help your colour remain vibrant for longer.
Healthy Hair Makes Colour Look Better
Hair colour always looks its best when the hair is healthy. Dry or damaged hair can appear dull and may struggle to retain colour evenly, which is why conditioning treatments are such an important part of your maintenance plan.
Professional Davines treatments can be tailored to the needs of your hair, whether it requires additional moisture, strengthening or protection. Regular treatments help improve softness, manageability and shine while supporting the condition of colour-treated hair.
Trimming dry or split ends regularly will also give your finished colour a healthier, more polished appearance.
