Few colors turn heads like copper and auburn. These fiery, rich tones convey confidence, individuality, and warmth. At Craft Collective Salon Group in North Hills, our stylists craft custom copper and auburn formulations that bring out your natural complexion, enhance shine, and deliver multi-dimensional vibrance.


Whether you want a subtle copper glow or a deep auburn statement, we use tone layering and advanced glossing to make every shade flattering, wearable, and refined.


Why Copper & Auburn Are Back in Style

Copper and red-based shades are making a major comeback because they feel both classic and modern. With subtle undertones of gold, amber, and bronze, they add vitality to the hair while reflecting light beautifully in every setting.


These tones are especially loved because they:


– Brighten the skin and add warmth to the face

– Offer a unique alternative to blonde or brunette

– Look stunning in both sunlight and low light

– Work beautifully with balayage and dimensional blending


At Craft Collective, we create reds that never look artificial or flat; they’re layered, reflective, and perfectly suited to your tone.


Choosing the Right Red for You

Not all coppers are created equal. We personalize each shade through our custom color formulation process [link to custom-hair-color-formulation-north-hills], balancing undertones for a harmonious match.


True Copper: Vibrant, orange-based red with golden warmth, best for lighter complexions.

Auburn: A deeper blend of red and brown, ideal for medium to dark complexions.

Strawberry Copper: A softer, rose-gold variation suited for fair or neutral skin tones.

Rust or Cinnamon: Earthy, low-contrast tones that pair beautifully with brown eyes and warm skin.


For those hesitant to commit fully, copper balayage or dimensional lowlights offer a subtle way to explore warmth without full coverage.


Our Copper & Auburn Technique

1. Precision Formulation

We begin with an in-depth consultation to select undertones that complement your natural color.

2. Sectional Application

Strategic balayage, foiling, or all-over application ensures even saturation and radiant light reflection.

3. Gloss Finishing

Every red tone is sealed with a gloss and shine enhancement [link to gloss-shine-enhancements-north-hills] to enhance vibrancy, lock in color, and maintain health.

4. Bond Repair

We integrate bond-building treatments [link to hair-treatments-health-north-hills] into each formula to protect structure during pigment processing.

5. Shadow Root or Blending

For natural grow-out, a root smudge or shadow root [link to root-smudge-shadow-root-north-hills] softly diffuses the transition from root to hue.


The result: brilliant color with controlled warmth and exceptional longevity.


How to Maintain Red Tones

Red pigments are smaller than other color molecules, meaning they fade faster, but with proper care, your copper can stay luminous for weeks.


– Wash hair in cool water with color-safe shampoo and conditioner [link to product-education-hair-care-north-hills].

– Use a weekly deep-conditioning treatment or gloss refresher.

– Avoid clarifying products unless recommended by your stylist.

– Protect color from UV rays and hot-tool exposure.

– Schedule gloss refreshes every 4 to 6 weeks to keep the tone rich.


Your stylist will customize a home-care routine based on your shade intensity and lifestyle.


Seasonal Adaptation

Copper and auburn tones shift beautifully with the seasons:


Spring/Summer: Bright, golden-based coppers complement sun-kissed skin.

Fall/Winter: Deep auburns and bronze-reds add sophistication and contrast to cooler light.


We often reference Hair Color for Every Season in North Hills [link to hair-color-for-every-season-north-hills] when designing year-round tone plans.


Sustainability and Responsibility

All red formulations at Craft Collective follow our Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Salon standards [link to sustainable-eco-friendly-salon-north-hills]. We use cruelty-free, low-ammonia color lines and recycle all foils and color waste through Green Circle Salons.


Beautiful, bold color can still be ethical and environmentally kind.
