Looking for Hair Color Inspiration?
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it important to have a hair inspiration look in mind before visiting the salon?
Having a hair color inspiration in mind before visiting the salon is important because it helps you communicate your vision clearly to Leesa, ensuring she understands what you're looking for. It also allows her to set realistic expectations based on your hair type and condition, while helping you plan for the time, cost, and maintenance of the desired look. By being prepared, you and Leesa can collaborate effectively, leading to a result you're more likely to be satisfied with.
How can I find the right hair inspiration for me?
You can find hair color inspiration from various sources like our gallery, Pinterest, Instagram, magazines, or celebrity looks. When choosing a color, consider your skin tone, hair texture, and lifestyle to find a shade that suits you best. Bringing photos or screenshots to your appointment is a great way to share your ideas with Leesa.
How can I communicate my hair inspiration effectively?
To communicate your hair inspiration effectively, bring visual aids like pictures or videos to your appointment or submit a digital consultation form ahead of your appointment. Discuss what you like about each example, and be open to your stylist's professional advice. Providing details about your hair history and daily routine can also help your stylist make suitable recommendations.
What should I consider when selecting a hair inspiration look?
When selecting a hair color inspiration look, consider the following factors to ensure it complements your features and lifestyle:
Skin Tone and Undertone: Choose a shade that complements your natural skin tone. Warm skin tones pair well with warm hair colors (e.g., golden blondes, caramel browns), while cool skin tones are enhanced by cool shades (e.g., ash blondes, platinum, cool browns).
Eye Color: Your eye color can also help guide your choice. For example, warm hair colors can bring out the warmth in brown or hazel eyes, while cooler shades may make blue or green eyes pop.
Maintenance and Lifestyle: Consider how often you're willing to maintain the color. Some shades, especially blondes or fashion colors (e.g., pastels), require more frequent touch-ups to maintain vibrancy.
Hair Texture and Length: Different colors can behave differently depending on your hair's texture. For instance, curly hair might show color differently than straight hair. Also, highlights and lowlights may look different on various hair lengths.
Hair Health: If your hair has been damaged from previous coloring or styling, you may need to select a gentler coloring method or opt for a color that doesn’t require heavy bleaching.
Personal Style: Your hair color should reflect your personal style and how you want to express yourself. If you’re adventurous, bold colors or multi-dimensional tones could suit you. If you prefer a more classic look, sticking with natural shades might be best.
Trends vs. Timeless Looks: Decide if you want to follow current trends or opt for a timeless look that will stay fresh longer without needing major changes.
