Too many people have gone into a salon with a vision of the perfect hair colour, only to come out in tears when it’s not at all what they wanted. At Suki Hair, we have a team of permanent hair colour specialists to give you the inside scoop on how to make sure you get the hair colour you really want.
Start With Healthy Hair
The first step to getting the exact shade you’re looking for is to start with healthy hair. If you come in with really damaged hair, your hair is less likely to tolerate the colouring process if your stylist is even willing to put colour on it.
Be Honest About Your Hair History
When you’re looking for a new colour, especially if you’re looking to go lighter, a lot of factors come into play. One of the biggest factors is what you’ve done/put on your hair previously. Think of a new colour like mixing paint – whatever you put on your hair is going to mix with what was there before. If you’re not honest about that box dye, you threw on before your appointment. Your stylist won’t be able to properly compensate for it when mixing your colour, making it less likely you’ll end up with your desired results.
Take Visual References

It’s much easier to explain a visual with another visual. Rather than trying to explain with words the look you’re after, show your stylist a picture. With social media, finding your hair inspiration is super easy. When looking for reference pictures, try to look for models whose hair is a similar length and texture to yours who has a similar skin tone to you to avoid disappointment when you look nothing alike.
Pick The Best Salon
Do your best to pick a salon with a great reputation for colour. Go a step further by choosing a salon that specialises in the colour you want.
