Choosing the Right Hair Color For You

Change can be intimidating, so take the time to research which hues best complement you and your skin tone.

Cool Blonde Tones for Pale Skin

Cool blonde tones such as platinum and ash work great against pale skin tones and help reduce brassiness in hair color.

Champagne Blonde for Cool Complexions

For those with cool complexions featuring pink or rosy undertones, champagne blonde shades like the one worn by Paramore singer Hayley Williams could help emphasize your contrasting tones. Add volume with a voluminous ponytail for optimal effect.

Pink hair for Pale Blondes

Pink hair can be an elegant option for pale blondes looking to keep their appearance light and sweet. It complements cool skin tones well and is an effective remedy against feeling down or depressed.

Pale Peach for Warm Complexions

If a client’s complexion is too warm for dusty pastel shades like pink, pale peach is an excellent solution. Its subtle warmth enhances cooler complexions beautifully while remaining within pastel territory.

Rose Blonde with Vibrant Pink Tones

Clients seeking a rose blonde style should use Matrix Color InstaCure Blond Pre-Lighter to achieve vibrant pink tones in their locks. Also consider investing in color-safe products like BlondorPlex for easy maintenance of bright, radiant blonde hues post coloring.

Peach for Cool Complexions

Peach offers a more subdued option for women with cool complexions who wish to showcase the blue and pink undertones in their skin, creating radiant and fresh looks.

Stunning Balayage Techniques for Rose and Peach Tones

Your stylist can create stunning rose and peach tones on your blond strands using classic balayage techniques or trendy new coloring methods for stunning, soft, warm blonde locks that’ll look amazing on your shoulders.

Light Pink for a Subtle Look

Light pink hair color will highlight your complexion beautifully without looking Barbie-sweet or Pepto Bismol-ish. Ensure your stylist uses an anti-breakage and color protecting formula for healthy locks during the coloring process.

Sandy or Beige Blonde for Cool Skin Tones

If you have cool skin tones, sandy blonde is an excellent way to complement them. Or you could opt for beige blonde shade for an ultra-natural look.

Caramel or Honey Shades for Medium Complexions

Medium complexions can wear many shades of blonde, but those with neutral or warm undertones will do best with caramel or honey shades.

Lighter, Golden Blonde Hues for Natural Brunettes

If your natural brunette hair color has more gold tones, try going for lighter, golden blonde hues like butterscotch for added blonde dimension.

Warm Tones to Enhance Neutral Skin Tones

If your client has neutral skin tones, any blonde shade can be worn without worrying that it will wash them out. Warm tones such as golden blonde, copper, and sandy can enhance warm tones in their complexion while adding an additional glow.

Platinum and Champagne Blonde for Light or Medium Skin Tones

Cooler shades of blonde such as platinum or champagne blonde are great choices for light or medium skin tones that have either cool or neutral undertones, such as light skin tones with pink undertones.

Maintaining a Platinum Blonde

If your cool skin tone features pink undertones, a platinum blonde shade that doesn’t contain too much warmth can help balance them out. Pale skin tones can still wear light strawberry blonde shades, but it is best to opt for cooler hues if your complexion features strong red or orange undertones. Washing with a purple-toning shampoo can help neutralize warm tones and combat brassiness for a platinum blonde that won’t yellow over time.
