Hairdressers have heard a lot of war stories when it comes to clients
attempting to color their hair at home. Picking up a box of hair dye at a
department store is a little cheaper than seeing a hairstylist, but as the
saying goes: you get what you pay for. Home hair coloring isn't easy to do and
here's why:
Finding the right color
The amount of options is overwhelming. The department store shelves are
packed with all kinds of do-it-yourself hair color kits, all of which claim to
make your hair red-carpet-worthy. In the sea of options, how do you know which
color is right for you? This is the biggest problem for women. It's hard to
randomly pick a box of hair color that will look natural.
Deciphering between warm or cool shades
How do you know if you want a warm or cool color for your hair? Figuring this
out actually has nothing to do with your hair color, it's based on your skin
tone and eye color. If you have dark or olive skin and brown eyes, you'll want
to lean towards a warm shade. If you have fair skin and brightly colored eyes, a
cool shade is best.
Pinpointing the time
Once you've picked a color and figured out the right shade, you'll have to
decide how long to keep the dye on your hair. The box will give you directions,
but it's important to know that hair color reacts differently for each person.
The best way to guarantee a natural color is to see our stylists. After
accessing your skin tone, eye color and hair type, your stylist will mix a color
that's designed especially for you. You'll leave the salon with a beautiful,
natural new look.
