Hair & Beauty H Colour your world


air colour these days is one of the most popular services for professional salons. Careful consulta-


tion before any colour is essential and will give the client confidence that the finished look will be as expected. The consultation should include ongoing care and infor- mation on frequency and cost of recolour and upkeep. Most good salons will offer a free ‘Colour check’ and conditioning treatment for up to a month after any colour or technical process to ensure client satisfaction. With today’s image driven culture, it’s no surprise that hair colour is consid- ered an essential part of an overall fashion look. With recent advances in technical colour and condition- ing products, hair need not be damaged by any chemical process. In fact, colour can add body and volume to most hair types. Whether it’s a bold, bright shim- mering look or more subtle hues


that you’re after, hair colour can work for every hair type and style.


Consultation When it comes to finding the correct hair colour for you, good consultation is essential with most salons offering a free consultation at the same time as a ‘patch test’. Very simple, it consists of a minute amount of colour being placed


Colouring your hair can be a great way to


express your individuality


on the skin where it will stay for a short period of time to detect any sensitivity. The colour dries imme- diately and will not affect clothes etc. Patch testing for hair colour is a legal requirement under section 3 of the Health and Safety at Work Act. This is a good time for your stylist


to ask about your hair’s history so that they know what base/nat- ural colour they will be working with. At this point your stylist can explain what is achievable and what is not.


Skin tone If you’re looking for a natural looking colour, you’ll need to consider your skin tone. As a general rule, cool skin tones suit cool colours (such as blues and purples), whereas warm skin tones suit warm shades (such as red and orange). These colours should form the base of any colour you add to your hair.
