Mocha Mousse: The 2025 Color of the Year 

Move over pastels – 2025 is all about rich, sophisticated neutrals. The beauty and fashion industries are buzzing with the announcement of Mocha Mousse as the official Colour of the Year. This warm, velvety brown with subtle taupe undertones exudes effortless elegance, making it the perfect shade for hair, nails, and makeup this season.

Salons are already seeing a rise in requests for mocha-inspired balayage, chocolate-toned manicures, and soft, smoky eyes in this universally flattering hue. The best part? Mocha Mousse is as versatile as it is chic, offering a timeless look that suits every skin tone and personal style.

This trending look is featured in Aveda’s latest campaign, Details, showcasing how to achieve luminous, long-lasting mocha tones. “This colour blends timeless elegance with contemporary sophistication, answering the global desire for warmth and comfort. It’s a versatile choice for those seeking a refined yet approachable style,” says Antoinette Beenders, Aveda SVP Global Professional Artistry.

Keep an eye on our Instagram @salon_business to see UK Hairdressers’ interpretation of this trend and how they’re achieving it.
