To Do List - Before Your Salon Visit

To find the style that's right for you, there are a few tips you should know.  When you are looking at pictures, choose a style on someone who has a complexion similar to yours.  With your complexion as a starting point, find a picture of someone's haircolor, with that individuals skin tone in the same neighborhood as your own.  Start with small changes, you may not have to do much to your look besides starting with a few accent highlights.  Once you decide on a plan for color, make sure you know the maintenance required and commit to it.
 
"Blonde-orexia" happens when you keep going lighter and lighter.  Not every blonde should be ultra-pale or ashy due to their skin tone.  On the opposite side of that scenario, go darker with caution.  Make sure you want the change, and know why you want it.  Drastically changing your haircolor two days after a life changing event or break-up is usually not the best time.
 
Before your visit to the salon, here are a few hints and tips to make your visit a successful one.
 
1.      Come to the salon with your hair styled as you usually do, that way I can see where your style is at now.

2.      Read the "Why" and "How" and the Beauty Lingo pages.  The better educated you are, the better we are going to be able to communicate.

3.      Please use as much detail as you can.  Pictures are a great way of making sure we are on the same page.

4.      If you plan to receive a "corrective color" service, please allow additional time, as we may need to remove the old, unwanted haircolor and then recolor your hair.

5.      In order to guarantee the condition of your hair, be prepared to discuss the chemical services you've had in the past.

6.      Please ask questions.  If you do not understand, or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask "why?"

7.      Trust me.  In order to receive the best outcome for you - the condition of your hair, facial features, and skin tone are all a factor in the overall best look for you.  I am able to best tell you if you can "pull off" the pale blonde with that reddish complexion, or need some fringe to hide a longer forehead.
