An Unequivocal Guide to the Top Fall 2025 Hair Trends, According to 6 Celebrity Stylists

Fall feels like a fresh start. It's an opportunity to refresh and revamp your beauty routine. That means making seasonal skincare swaps, switching to a different color palette for manicures and pedicures, and maybe even embracing a newfound hair aesthetic. Yep, now's the time to book that fall hair appointment; it doesn't matter if you're doing something drastic (bold color and bangs?) or soft and subtle (a root touch-up?). It's a simple way to start the season on the right foot.

For fall 2025, the experts say there's an emphasis on hair health. Gone are the days of bleaching your hair into oblivion and leaving your strands exposed to the elements. It's all about caring and repairing—summer is over, and so is the harsh sun, drying salt water, and damaging hairstyles that go with it, so there's no better time than now. Consider investing in moisturizing hair masks and bond-building treatments for strong, shiny, and expensive-looking hair.

Once your haircare routine is set, it's time to talk cut and color. We wanted to know which ones are fresh, trendy, and of-the-moment, so we reached out to six (count 'em!) in-the-know celebrity stylists. Ahead, see the top fall 2025 hair trends. Consider this your unequivocal guide to the best fall hair looks.

The Top Fall Haircuts of 2025

1. '90s-Inspired Long Layers

The first fall haircut you need to know about? Almost every single celeb stylist agrees that it's long, luxurious layers. Take it from Jennifer Korab, a celebrity hairstylist, colorist, and the founder of Renaissance Salon and Spa, who says, "Long layers are one of those haircuts that are always trending and highly requested. After summer, a lot of people want to refresh their hair from any damage but want to keep their length, so this haircut is perfect for the fall. It’s not drastic, but it does enough for a new look because you can keep the length but cut pieces in the front to shape the face, and layers create a voluminous and fuller look."

Celebrity hairstylist Jerome Lordet, owner of Jerome Lordet Salon in NYC, agrees. "For those who love length, fall will bring a return of luxurious, healthy-looking layers. It’s all about keeping length but adding fluidity. Ask your stylist for cascading layers starting below the chin for dimension and bounce."

Sean Michael, owner of Salon Beau, says fans of the '90s supermodel blowout should opt for a slight variation, aka '90s-inspired layers (something Sabrina Carpenter has made her signature). These differ from traditional long layers in that they stack around the crown of the head for more bounce and volume. "Think full, bouncy layers that bring movement and body back into the hair," he says. "It’s flattering on almost every length and works beautifully with a blowout."

Celebrity hairstylist Vanessa Ocando agrees that layers are *it* for fall 2025. She recommends incorporating them into a mid-length haircut for a "graceful" summer-to-fall transition. "This cut channels mid-'90s cool with intentional layers that start near the lip line and taper with purpose," she says. "The layers are soft enough to flip, structured enough to style, and versatile enough to part any way you like, middle, deep side, or wherever it naturally falls.
