Cut Trends for Fall

1. Long Length – Fairy Waves with Face-Framing Layers

Long, flowing “fairy waves” are making a comeback with soft, face-framing layers that add movement and romance. This style is ideal for clients who want length but crave shape around the face. It’s versatile, works with natural texture, and looks stunning both air-dried or heat-styled.

Stylist Tip: Use Paul Mitchell Clean Beauty Everyday Leave-In to protect hair from environmental stress and add light hydration without weighing it down. For defined waves, finish with Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream to enhance softness and shine.

2. Medium Length – The Collarbone “Tease” Cut

Mid-length hair continues to be the most in-demand length this fall, with cuts grazing the collarbone for a universally flattering frame. This shape allows for effortless up-styles or polished blowouts while maintaining enough length for styling versatility.

Stylist Tip: Prep with Aveda Nutriplenish Leave-In Conditioner to nourish and detangle, then add body using Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Lemon Sage Thickening Spray for a fresh, voluminous finish.

3. Short Length – Pixie Mullet or Grown-Out Pixie

Short styles are having a big moment—especially the playful pixie mullet and softly layered grown-out pixie. These looks combine low-maintenance styling with high-fashion edge. They can be sleek and smooth or tousled for texture depending on your mood.

Stylist Tip: Create texture with Aveda Control Paste for definition or Moroccanoil Dry Texture Spray for airy volume and a piecey finish.

Fall Hair Color Trends

Dimensional Trend – Mocha Mousse Brunette

This rich, creamy brunette features chocolatey depths with soft caramel ribbons for movement and glow. It’s the perfect fall transition shade—warm, inviting, and full of dimension.

Stylist Tip: Maintain your color vibrancy with Aveda Color Conserve Shampoo & Conditioner or Paul Mitchell Clean Beauty Hydrate Shampoo & Conditioner. Add shine and softness with Moroccanoil Treatment Light for fine to medium hair.

Solid Color Trend – Black Cherry

For clients who want a bold statement, black cherry blends deep red and plum tones for high-impact color that’s still sophisticated. This rich, glossy finish is stunning on both straight and textured hair.

Stylist Tip: Keep the tone fresh with Moroccanoil Color Depositing Masks and protect from heat damage with Paul Mitchell Clean Beauty Heat Styling Spray. or Paul Mitchell Neuro Style Protect HeatCTRL.
