25 Stunning Examples of Brown Ombré Hair to Bring to Your Colorist

Stephen Garrison is an expert colorist who works between Los Angeles, New York, Miami, and San Francisco. He's responsible for this subtle, cool-toned brunette ombré look.

Garrison has even colored the hair of Byrdie's own social media editor, Olivia. Here, she's pictured with her sun-kissed, light-brown ombré hair. We love how the blonde streaks frame her face, and that the overall look feels attainable and elevated at the same time.

If you want to keep a dark mahogany tone, try this ombré color, which slowly melds into a light brown/ash blonde shade. The waves also provide some welcomed volume and texture.

Garrison shows us how short hair ombré is done with this cool-toned color that ends in a beautiful ash-blonde. It's edgy and perfectly tousled.

If your hair is naturally dark brown and you'd rather keep that as your base, look no further than this soft, subtle ombré also courtesy of Garrison. Her raven locks are perfectly melded with chestnut highlights that frame the face and fan out to the tips.

Justin Anderson is an expert colorist from Nine Zero One Salon in Los Angeles. His Instagram feed is full of ombré hair perfection, like this golden-brown ombré that looks almost luminescent. If you're looking for Jennifer Aniston-esque highlights (no, not the Rachel), Justin's your go-to colorist.

Anderson proves that ombré doesn't have to end in blonde. Here, he transformed a client's dark-brown hair by seamlessly melding in a dimensional honey brown.

To us, this is the epitome of summer hair goals. The color transition is a little more intense than others we've seen before, and we absolutely love it.

The same goes for this look. We love when the blondest pieces are placed at the front. It makes the hair color look beachy and sun-kissed.

This client's hair starts out raven black and slowly transforms to a light oak-brown color. Warning: this style will certainly make you want to run your fingers through your tousled waves constantly.

With curly hair, the line between balayage and ombre gets blurred, but that's clearly not a bad thing. Take Raven of helllosunshine, for instance. Her gorgeous natural texture is enhanced with a honey-blonde hue that concentrate at the ends of her hair.

The same goes for Janibell of @janibellrosanne. From this picture, her highlights could be balayage or ombré. Either way, we love the way her hair transitions from dark brown to caramel brown and strawberry blonde.

You might recognize Kristin Ess from her namesake hair-care line that's available at Target (Shout-out to her Strand Strengthening Reconstructive Moisture Mask, $14, one of our all-time favorite hair treatments). She's responsible for this perfectly grown-out ombré.

Brown ombré combined with curls is a match made in hair heaven. We love how the hair texture is right in-between beach waves and curly here.

A caramel brown ombré and more curly hair. We love how the ends of her hair are blonde, yet the color transition is seamless throughout the mid-lengths. (That half-up, half-down hairstyle doesn't hurt either).

We like how this client's ombré hair is perfectly parted from dark brown to light brown by this dark green bow. It shows that a strong, stylish accessory can truly perfect a look.

Who said ombré has to be from brown to blonde? No one. We love this brown to blonde to peach hair. It's payful and chic all at once!

Can we talk about Cleo Wade's brown ombré hair from her exclusive Self-Directed Byrdie shoot? Make sure to check it out to see more of her gorgeous curls, as well as some super-chic makeup looks and inspiring words.

Johnny Ramirez is an expert colorist and co-owner of Ramirez Tran Salon. His Instagram account is another must-follow for anyone who is devoted to ombré and balayage hair.

From this unique angle, you can see just how seamless the color meld is when ombré hair is done well. Bravo!

We love how the golden-blonde ends complement her olive skin and brown eyes. The side part helps create an ombré wave beside her face, which looks elegantly understated.

This half-and-half color strikes the perfect balance between brown and blonde locks. Creating a half-and-half style has the potential to result in a boxy look, but the seamless transition here, along with the blonde framing her face and the lowlights in the bottom half of her hair, create the perfect balance.

Here's another half-brown, half-blonde ombré color (or perhaps more accurately, one part brown and 3 parts blonde). Even though the two colors are distinct, the line between them is blended and diffused in true ombré fashion.

Nikki Lee is an expert colorist and co-owner of Nine Zero One Salon. This walnut, toasted chestnut, and honey bronde ombré is subtle and perfectly melded. (And yes, the hue names are making us a bit hungry, too.)

The same goes for this dark brown take balayage-ombré hybrid. Not only is the color amazing, but those glamorous waves are, too.
