Falling for Beauty: This Season’s Top Trends You’ll Learn in School October 13, 2025

When the air turns crisp and the leaves start changing, it’s not just our wardrobes that shift, our beauty routines do too. Fall is the perfect season to embrace rich tones, cozy vibes, and fresh looks. At The Salon Professional Academy (TSPA), students get hands-on experience mastering the latest styles that clients are asking for right now. Here’s a peek at some of this season’s top beauty trends you’ll learn to create in school.

🍁 Hair Color: Rich, Warm, and Dimensional

Fall is all about warmth, and hair color is no exception. Think copper reds, chestnut brunettes, caramel balayage, and golden blondes. These dimensional shades reflect the cozy glow of autumn and never go out of style.

As a cosmetology student, you’ll learn how to:

• Formulate custom colors that complement each client’s skin tone.
  
• Master blending techniques like balayage and foiling.
  
• Maintain healthy and shiny hair during the coloring process.

🎃 Makeup: Smoky, Spiced, and Statement-Making

Pumpkin spice isn’t just for lattes; it’s inspiring fall makeup looks, too. Warm eyeshadow palettes, bold liners, and berry lips are making a big comeback this season.

In beauty school, you’ll practice:

• Seasonal makeup looks from natural to dramatic.
  
• Techniques to enhance different eye and lip shapes.
  
• Professional product knowledge to recreate trends for every skin tone.

🍂 Skincare: Hydration is Everything

As the weather cools, skin needs extra love. Barrier repair, hydration, and glow-restoring facials are in high demand this season. Clients look to estheticians for treatments and product recommendations that help keep their skin looking radiant during dry, chilly months.

As an esthetics student, you’ll learn:

• Seasonal skincare regimens that address dryness and sensitivity.
  
• Professional treatments, such as exfoliation and hydration masks.
  
• How to customize services for each client’s skin type.

🌙 Massage: Relaxation for the Season

As the days get shorter and the weather cools, stress and tension often creep in. That’s why fall is the perfect season for clients to book a soothing massage. Beyond relaxation, massage also helps improve circulation and ease muscle stiffness—benefits people appreciate when the temps drop.

If you’re training in massage therapy, you’ll learn how to:

• Offer personalized massage techniques that promote overall wellness.
  
• Use aromatherapy and seasonal oils (like cinnamon or eucalyptus) to enhance relaxation.
  
• Help clients manage seasonal stress and maintain their optimal physical well-being year-round.
