Your hair color plays an important role in the overall look of your face. Thus, it’s important to choose a color that complements your skin tone, eye color, and preferred makeup palette. If you’re interested in trying out a new hair color in Tucson, your stylist at Salon Nouveau will be happy to provide personalized advice during your appointment to ensure you find a color you love.
Determining Your Skin Tone
Skin tone is an important factor when selecting a great hair color. To determine your skin tone, wash your face completely to remove any makeup, then stand in a well-lit room and hold several shirts of different colors up beside your face to determine its tone. If your face looks best beside colors that are blue or green, you have cool-toned skin; if your face looks better against red or orange shirts, you have warm-toned skin.
Find a Complementary Shade
Individuals with warm-toned skin look best with cooler-toned hair, such as ashy blonde, rich brunette, and auburn or darker red hair color options. If you’d like to try an effect such as ombré fading, opt for cooler colors as well, which will help your style stand out against your skin. By contrast, those with cool-toned skin should opt for a color with warmer aspects, such as darker and golden blondes and chocolatey brunettes.
Consider Other Factors
Other factors will affect your choice of hair color as well, such as how often you plan to touch up your color and whether you are covering gray hair. If you aren’t planning on frequent touch-ups, pick a color that won’t stand out in stark contrast as your natural color grows in. When covering gray, talk to your stylist about a color that will blend well with the gray for a more natural and easy-to-maintain look.
