Color Services and 2020 Spring and Summer trends

As we stated in our previous blog (Color Series, the consultation) it is so important that as a new client to the salon or a newbie to the world of color that you set up a hair color consultation.  The consultation will be extremely helpful in selecting the right color service, the right color formulation, the amount time needed for the service, and letting you know the cost of the service beforehand.  The consultations are free and we can do online video consultation or in salon consultation. 

Every new season is a reason to make a change in your look and summer is coming towards with all its vibrancy. Below are some of the spring and summer trends for 2020.

Bronde hair color is the perfect shade in between the blonde and the brunette giving you a very natural flattering sun-kissed color result. This means you are no longer forced to choose between the two.  There are endless bronde hair color ideas such as bronde balayage, light bronde or ashy bronde. 

Lilac Hair Color

Color Series: The Consultation

"Why is consultation so important"? you ask.  Consultation can identify problems, assist in decision making that can protect the client and stylist.  This means that we can then schedule the right time and formula.

3 Step Color Consultation

Every new customer needs to have a full color consultation, whether they are looking for a different hair color or not!

Things that we would be looking at would be your  lifestyle and personality.  the colors we wear should enhance our natural features and coloring.

The characteristics of the hair, eyes and skin determine color type; this is based on color direction and color level.

Color direction is divided into three categories:

• Warm, Neutral, Cool

Color level is also divided into three categories:

• Light, Medium, Dark

For example, a client may have a light color level but have an underlying warm tone, or conversely a dark color level with a cool tone.

Personal Color Consultation in Three Steps

Step 1: Color Analysis

• Analyze Hair color
• Analyze Eye color
• Analyze Skin color

Step 2: Determine Natural Color Type

We would look to see whether you are warm golden, medium, or cool ash tone.

Hair is medium and neutral, eyes are neutral and the skin is cool. The major direction here is a neutral tone with medium depth, this means that the client’s ideal color world type is 5.

If results vary then the predominant factor will be the deciding one, for example:

Hair and eyes are of type 1 (light depth and warm tone), but skin color is of type 2 (light depth and warm/cool tone). In this case, type 1 is the predominant factor and is therefore the type selected.

Step 3: Color ConsultationFollowing a thorough analysis of hair, skin and eye color, now is the time to sit down and discuss a range of possible color treatments and styling solutions based on the results. This can be an exciting and creative process.
