We’ve all heard horror stories about hair coloring gone wrong. A lot of these stem from simple mistakes that could have been avoided, like choosing the wrong salon/stylist or attempting a DIY color. That beautiful auburn you were going for wouldn’t have turned out carrot-orange if you had gone to an experienced stylist or reputable salon!
Another easy way to avoid hair coloring disasters is to make sure you are communicating your wishes clearly. Show pictures to clarify the color you are looking for and listen to the advice of your stylist. If she tells you that the color won’t take well with your specific hair, don’t be surprised if it seems to wash out later. Listen to your stylist—she will help you make decisions that will be great with your hair.
Experienced stylists and salons offer custom hair coloring that can’t be reached using box colors. They will mix a color especially made for you based on your natural hair color, texture, and whether or not you’ve had your hair colored in the past. They will also discuss what type of maintenance you are prepared for and how often you will need to schedule touchup appointments.
So when you are thinking of changing your look, make sure you choose a stylist you can trust and go to a salon that offers custom hair coloring.
