Cliché as it sounds, there’s nothing quite like a fresh haircut to mark the start of a new season. After summer, especially, it feels good to say goodbye to sun and chlorine-frayed ends and step into a look that complements the fall wardrobe you’ve been building. Whether you’re after a subtle trim or a dramatic change guaranteed to stir up your group chat, we rounded up nine fall haircut trends worth considering.
According to some of the industry’s most in-demand hairstylists, fall 2025 is all about contrast—cropped pixies, face-framing layers, textured bangs, or the opposite route: sleek, blunt ends. No matter which direction you’re leaning, a little prep goes a long way. “When you go in to try a new style, bring photo references to make sure you are on the same page with your stylist,” suggests celebrity hairstylist Lacy Redway. “Consider your fave shape, lifestyle, and level of effort you want to make when styling your hair once away from your stylist. Try to get a consultation if you are trying a stylist for the first time so you can make sure your style choice is achievable.”
Ahead, Redway and celebrity stylists Justine Marjan, Scott King, Laurie Heaps, Kim Kimble, and Nick Stenson share the haircut trends they say you’ll be seeing everywhere this fall. Consider this your sign to book that appointment.
