Colour will add instant youth to the way you look …keep the colour exciting with some multi coloured high/low lights. Brighten the white using platinum blonde shampoos. Tips for change: make sure that the colour you choose matches your skin tone and compliments your wardrobe.
Relating your desired colour to your hairdresser can be intimidating. Don’t be scared; take a picture of the colour and style you desire. The technician will be able to interpret how bold or natural you imagine yourself.

Whether you are having semi-permanent, permanent, low or highlights you need make sure you ask relevant questions: How often will you need to visit the salon to maintain the colour and at what cost?

For perfect colour a technician has to be a detective. Do you swim? Use softened water? Hot dryers? Straightening irons? What products are you using on your hair? Lots of questions, they’ll want a gossip too!
