Red Hair Trends 2025: Cherry Cola & Apricot Auburn Take Over the Colour World

Discover the Bold New Hair Colors Turning Heads at Evolve Salon in Toronto



Move over, platinum and balayage—2025 is the year of red. From the sultry depths of cherry cola hair color to the soft radiance of apricot auburn, rich red hues are dominating the beauty scene. And at Evolve Salon, a top-rated Toronto hair salon, we’re loving every fiery strand of it.


Whether you're looking for a low-maintenance refresh or a bold transformation, this year’s red hair trends offer a modern twist for every skin tone and vibe. Our expert hair colourists in Toronto specialize in customizing these trending tones using premium, salon-exclusive products to give you the kind of color that turns heads and starts conversations.


The Cherry Cola Crush


Deep, sultry, and luxuriously glossy—cherry cola is the red for brunettes who want dimension without drama. This rich tone blends chocolate and burgundy undertones for a smoldering, almost iridescent finish that lights up in the sun.


At Evolve, our Toronto colour experts tailor this hue with a custom blend of KEVIN.MURPHY Color.Me and Redken Shades EQ, building in subtle highlights or all-over shine depending on your vibe. For that silky, healthy finish, we follow with K18 repair treatment—a favourite among our local clientele for keeping coloured hair soft, strong, and resilient.

Stylist tip: This shade is ultra-flattering on medium and darker skin tones, and looks incredible with long layers or a precision bob. If you're searching for a hair colourist in Toronto who truly understands nuance and tone, you're in the right place.

Apricot Auburn: Soft, Warm & Unexpected

Looking for something a little lighter and brighter? Apricot auburn is having a major moment right now. Think soft peachy tones with hints of copper—playful, feminine, and a bit unexpected. It's perfect for anyone craving a warm, youthful glow without going full-on red.


Our custom hair color specialists craft this shade with a delicate mix of Redken Shades EQ and KEVIN.MURPHY’s ammonia-free formulas. The result? A high-gloss, multi-dimensional tone that looks like it was made just for you—because it was.


To keep your tone fresh and luminous between appointments, we recommend KEVIN.MURPHY’s EVERLASTING.COLOUR line, available right here in our boutique retail space.



Why Red Hair is the Boldest Trend of 2025
