Your veins
Look at the inside of your wrist. Greenish veins suggest warm, blue or purple suggest cool, and a mix suggests neutral.
Colour guide
What hair colour suits me?
The shade that suits you depends mostly on your skin’s undertone and how much contrast you like. Work out your undertone below, then try the matching shades on your own photo, free and in seconds.

Find your undertone.
Undertone is the colour under your skin’s surface. It doesn’t change with a tan. Three quick checks in daylight:
Gold or silver
If gold jewellery flatters you more, you are probably warm. If silver does, cool. If both look fine, neutral.
In the sun
Skin that tans easily and goes golden is often warm. Skin that burns and goes pink is often cool.
Shades to try first.
The studio’s own warm and cool tags for its 24 shades. Open any shade to see who it suits and what to ask your colourist.
Neutral undertones: most of both, especially
Check it on your own face.
- Use daylight. Warm bulbs make every shade read more golden.
- Compare two or three. Save the looks you like and compare them side by side.
- Mind the contrast. Very dark hair on very fair skin, or icy blonde on deep skin, is a strong look. Try it at a softer intensity first.
- Think about upkeep. Reds and pastels fade fastest; shades close to your natural colour grow out most gently.
- Show your colourist. Download the card with the exact shade and intensity and take it to your appointment.
Before you book
Should I go lighter or darker?
Changes within about two levels of your natural colour look the most natural and grow out softly. Bigger jumps work too, but take more upkeep, and going much lighter needs lightening.
Does eye colour matter?
It helps. Copper and warm browns make green and hazel eyes glow; cool browns, ash and pearl make blue and grey eyes look brighter.
Will my real colour look like the preview?
Take it as a direction, not a promise. The salon result depends on your current colour, your hair’s condition, the products and your colourist, and the light in your photo changes how a shade reads.
