90s Hair Colors Taking Over Fall 2025: My Beauty Advisor Guide
Hi, I’m Sara, the Beauty Advisor at MdP. Today, I’m taking you behind the scenes of the top hair trends for Fall 2025. I love playing with color and style, and I’ll admit it: the 90s inspiration is coming back strong.
🎯 Why the 90s Are Back on Top
In recent months, chatting with fellow stylists and clients, I’ve noticed a recurring trend: a craving for nostalgia with a modern twist. “Vintage” shades are no longer just about the past — they’re tools to express personality. And the runways are proving that the past can absolutely speak to the present.
The colors to put on your radar
Here are the shades I’m already recommending in the salon:
- 90s Dirty Blonde — a slightly “lived-in” blonde, perfect for those who want brightness without the over-bleached look. Very popular lately.
- Warm Cashmere Blonde — cozy, sophisticated, and easier to maintain than ultra-cool blondes.
- Luminous Chocolate Brown — a neutral, elegant shade that works for many skin tones.
- Soft Greige / Neutral Mélange — a mix of gray and beige that softens and brightens. Perfect for anyone with natural dimension already in the hair.
The cuts I’m bringing to life in the salon
A great color needs the right structure to make it shine. These are my Fall “go-to looks”:
- Wavy Bob — chin length, middle part, soft movement. Elegant without being overdone.
- 90s layers / Rachel Revisited — well-defined layers, airy texture, and face-framing pieces.
- Light and Tousled Pixie — volumized but not stiff; perfect for those who want low maintenance.
- Messy Bixie — halfway between a bob and a pixie, a lived-in look that’s very on trend.
- Updated Bowl Cut — rounded fringe and tapered ends, with a fresh, contemporary twist.
How much “hands-off” maintenance does it need?
I don’t want to sugarcoat it: some shades do require care. Here’s how I see it:
- Neutral and warm tones (like luminous brown or soft greige) hold better over time and need fewer touch-ups.
- With trendy blondes, I use gloss services and color-depositing masks to protect and refresh the tone between appointments.
- The right cut helps too: modular layers and natural movement make regrowth easier to manage and look more graceful.
Practical tips from a Beauty Advisor
- Bring reference photos (from social or magazines) to your consultation: that’s how I instantly get your aesthetic vibe.
- Check your undertone: warm, neutral, or cool? (I can guide you in the salon with proper color tools.)
- Don’t go all-in right away: we can start with a subtle “test” on small sections to see how your hair reacts.
- Use gentle shampoos, heat protection, and haircare rituals that support hair health — especially in the colder months.
I want every woman reading MdP to feel represented by her look — not stuck with a “copy-paste color.” If you’re thinking about refreshing your hair for fall, reach out: together we’ll choose the right shade, the right cut, and the right maintenance plan.
