Hair color ideas to try on before your salon visit

A new hair color is one of the biggest changes you can make to your look, and one of the hardest to undo. Someone else's photo helps, but it does not show how the shade sits next to your own skin, eyes and brows.

Preview it on your own photo

Hair Color in VIPAD lets you choose a color family and see it on your own photo. Save the results you like to My Looks, compare them side by side and show them to your colorist.

Hair Color is one of the try on tools in VIPAD.

Twelve color families to explore

• Black and dark brown: deep, glossy and the easiest to keep up.
• Chestnut and light brown: warm, soft and kind when it grows out.
• Dark blonde, blonde and platinum blonde: from a subtle lift to a full bright change.
• Copper and red: the strongest warm statement, lovely with freckles and green or hazel eyes.
• Burgundy and rose gold: fashion shades with a hint of violet or pink.
• Ash grey: a cool, modern shade that needs regular toning.

Questions to ask before you book

• Does it suit my undertone? Warm undertones usually shine with copper, golden and chestnut, cool undertones with ash, burgundy and cool brown.
• How much upkeep can I give it? Platinum and ash need more salon visits than a natural brown.
• How far is it from my color today? Going much lighter often takes more than one session.
• Will my brows still match? A big change in depth can call for a brow tint too.

If you have done Personal Color Analysis, ask Beauty AI which of your saved looks fits your coloring best. It answers from your own results, not from a general rule.

Take it to the salon

Bring your saved look and a photo of your hair in daylight. Your colorist can tell you what is realistic for your hair in one visit, and the preview helps you both agree on the same shade before anything is mixed.
