How to choose the right hair colour for you

Finding Your Perfect Hair Colour - Made Simple

Choosing a new hair colour can be exciting - but also a little overwhelming. With so many shades, tones, and trends out there, it’s easy to get stuck second-guessing. As a mobile hairdresser working in Staines-upon-Thames and surrounding areas, I help clients figure out what will actually suit them - not just in photos, but in real life.

Here’s what I always keep in mind when helping someone choose the right colour.

1. Consider Your Everyday Routine

When choosing a hair colour, it’s important to think about how it fits with your daily life. If you’re someone who’s always on the go, you might want a colour that’s low-maintenance and doesn’t require constant touch-ups. On the other hand, if you love experimenting with bold shades and don’t mind spending a little more time on upkeep, vibrant colours like balayage or rich reds might be a great choice. I always take your lifestyle into account, ensuring you get a look that’s not just beautiful but also practical for your routine.

2. Think About Maintenance

Some colours need more upkeep than others. If you’re going for a bright blonde or bold fashion colour, you’ll need more regular top-ups to keep it fresh. If you’re after something more low-maintenance, soft balayage or natural tones can give you a long-lasting look that grows out beautifully. I always take your lifestyle and routine into account when helping you decide.

3. Consider Your Natural Colour

Your natural base colour gives us a great starting point. Sometimes the most flattering shades are just a few tones lighter or darker than what you already have. Whether you want a full change or something subtle, I’ll work with what you’ve got to get the best results without unnecessary damage.

4. Look at Your Personal Style

Hair colour isn’t just about matching skin tone—it’s also about expressing who you are. Do you like a bold, dramatic look? Or do you prefer something soft and natural? I always ask questions about what you usually wear, your makeup style, and the overall vibe you like, so we can match your hair to you.

5. Trust the Process

One thing I always say is: don’t rush it. If you’re not sure what colour to go for, we can build it up gradually. Whether it’s toning your current colour or doing a subtle change first, I’d rather you feel confident every step of the way than jump into something that doesn’t feel right.
