Published 27th Oct 2025 by Sian Jones

Halloween is just around the corner and if you're looking for some Halloween hair ideas, you've come to the right place. Whether you're looking for some halloween hair inspiration or want to help your clients get ready for halloween in the salon, there's plenty of spooky ideas to get creative with for the 31 October. From cobweb ponytails to pumpkin heads, there's something for all of your clients below.

1. Gothic Glamour

This year, it’s all about polished gothic elegance. Think glassy black bobs, structured updos, and jet-black tones with a vampy crimson glaze.

We love this glossy, violet look from @slayedbysammyp with sleek waves and a sharp middle part for modern Morticia energy.

2. Pumpkin Spice, But Make It Hair

Burnt copper, golden spice, and soft amber bring warmth and movement to any hair type. Salon-friendly, wearable seasonal shades are evolving and we love this autumnal luxe from @ryleeheyzahair uses a blend of copper and cinnamon balayage to create this perfect pumpkin spice style.

 

3. Fantasy Colour

Fantasy colour always thrives at Halloween with peekaboo panels, split dyes, and high-contrast colour dominating spooky hair-inspo online. Check out this vivid look from @hairbywhitley_ that weaves oranges, purple and green hues.

4. Hair-Raising Hair Tattooes

Take precision fading and make it art. Check out seagreenehair's Instagram for the ultimate creative hair tattoo inspo for your clients!
