Dark Rooted Red Hair Colour

This autumn, dark-rooted red shades are stealing the spotlight – the perfect way to give your colour a stylish refresh. While vibrant ruby reds and fiery coppers are always in demand, softening them with deeper roots can create a gorgeous, low-maintenance look. Want something subtle? Blend rich auburn or chestnut roots into brighter mids and ends for a warm, natural finish. Craving more drama? Opt for a bold contrast with darker roots melting into vivid reds – it’s the ultimate “lived-in” colour that still turns heads.

What Red Shades Are Trending?

If you’re ready to turn heads, vibrant red tones are the way to go. Think bold fiery reds and glossy cherry shades as well as paler apricot and soft copper tones. These striking reds make a real statement – and keeping your colour fresh and vibrant is key to maintaining that flawless finish.

At Brooklyn's our colour experts will help you find the perfect red to complement your skin tone, eye colour, and personality, so your shade feels uniquely “you.”

Styling tip: Use a colour-safe shampoo designed for red hair to keep your shade bright and prevent fading between appointments.

Bespoke Red Balayage

Balayage remains one of the most popular colour trends – and it’s evolving all the time. More and more clients are embracing adventurous shades, from fiery copper and soft auburn to shimmering rose gold and classic reds. With so many options, there really is a red balayage look to suit everyone.

For a fresh, modern twist, why not add subtle red tones woven through your balayage? Pair this with face-framing highlights or a bold money piece at the front for that extra pop of colour – it’s the perfect way to make your style stand out.
