Getting Your Hair Colour Right At The Salon

Nowadays, the majority of the female population colours their hair on a regular basis, or have at least experimented with hair dye at one point in their lives. We all like to experiment with our looks and keep ourselves looking fresh and one of the most common ways of doing this is to try out different hair colours. And now it’s not just women who are getting colour happy, many men are also experimenting with their locks.  

There are now so many different techniques and colours available that it can be an absolute minefield when it comes to choosing the right hair colour. There is also the big ‘salon versus home colour’ debate to think about. Many people feel that by dying their hair at home they are saving themselves money, but in actual fact the number of the home hair dye jobs that go wrong and have to be saved by a professional stylist is so large that most may as well have gone to the salon in the first place! Hair colouring carried out by a professional stylist in a salon is a lot more sophisticated and technical than you could ever achieve on your own at home, despite what the home hair colouring brands say. Salon colour has the sort of depth you simply can’t achieve at home, plus you have the added advantage of an experienced professional on hand to advise you on what will and won’t suit you and how to achieve the ultimate in hair colouring.

For results that are going to last and look great, you should always make a trip to the salon to have your hair dyed. Before you go along to the appointment it is important to really think about what you want. You shouldn’t leave all the decisions up to the stylist, as you may walk away disappointed. However, you should take advantage of the wealth of knowledge on offer from the stylist as they will know what will work with your skin tone and hair type. If possible, bring in a picture of the colour you want as everyone see colour differently and your idea of chocolate brown may be quite different from the stylist’s.

When it comes to choosing a hair colour it is so important to get it right. The right colour can really enhance your features and even knock years off you, whereas the wrong shade can be a real disaster. It can age you and generally make you look unhealthy and unnatural.

Before choosing your hair colour, you need to figure out if your skin tone is cool or warm. For most people, a cool skin tone is signified by naturally bluish-black, dark brown, medium ash or golden blonde locks. The skin will be pale with pink undertones, golden, very dark brown or olive coloured. If you have a cool skin tone most experts will recommend blue-red hair colours such as burgundy, cherry or bordeaux. 

A warm skin tone is characterised by naturally red, golden brown, strawberry blonde or natural golden blonde hair. Your skin tone will be pale with peachy or gold undertones or freckled. The best colour hair for warm skin tones are copper, cinnamon, ginger or strawberry blondes.
