8 Best Brown Hair Colors for 2025

Among the many hair colors our customers opt for at our hair salon in Singapore, brown hair colors are the most loved for several reasons. First, brown hair colors are very versatile. Unlike bold colors, brown balayage hair colors are office-, vacation-, and event-friendly. Second, they are easier to maintain, since Asians naturally have black or dark brown hair, visiting the hair salon to get your roots retouched won’t be necessary as often compared to having very obvious hair colors. Lastly, with the multitude of brown hair colors and highlights you can choose from, you’ll have plenty of hair color style ideas that match your skin tone, personality, and lifestyle.

If you are on the hunt for brown hair color ideas, this article outlines popular choices at our hair salon in Singapore. To make it easier for you, we listed which skin tones best complement each color and whether each one requires bleaching.
