Can You Go Lighter With Balayage? 

Absolutely! Lightening is one of the top goals for clients receiving a balayage, but that doesn’t mean you have to cover up your natural hues, either. Our talented stylists can incorporate fall balayage colors into your hair however you’d like.  

We can mix toners and colors with balayage to achieve your desired shade. Some finished balayages look darker, but that’s usually because of the toner we apply. This initial darkening is temporary and will lighten with each wash.  

Fall Balayage Trends  

What’s in season right now? Change! In Autumn, we’ll see an increase in clients who want to revamp their usual styles and colors. As people become bolder with their hair choices, they opt for more colorful fall balayage looks.  

Red Hues  

Red hair is fiery, gorgeous, and naturally stunning. We’ve seen an increase in clients looking to incorporate copper, ginger, and “pumpkin spice” tones into their fall balayage styles. You don’t have to be a natural redhead to enjoy this trend — we can work with what you’ve got.  

Dark/Baby Balayage  

As “quiet luxury” gains popularity, those who don’t want bolder hues opt for softer, subtler balayage shades, including “bronde,” brown babylights, and creme brulee-toned hues. A baby balayage shows off your dark roots while giving your hair a natural sunkissed look so that you get the best of both worlds! 

Money Pieces 

Money pieces frame your face with highlighted strands, and we’re seeing them come back in style. Some clients enjoy warm-toned money pieces to accentuate honey or golden blonde shades, while others love ashy strands.  

Consider the color of your roots and the other highlights you’re receiving when creating your money-piece look with your stylist. You can pair money pieces of any shade with your balayage and haircut at Tabula Rasa.  

Apricot and Strawberry Blonde Shades 

As “apricot blonde” becomes all the rage on social media, clients come in searching for this look. It’s a modern take on natural strawberry blonde hues, which have long been considered desirable. Since apricot blonde is warm, it suits the fall aesthetic perfectly.
