So, whether you choose to enhance your natural beauty or boldly redefine it, your hair colour journey is an artistic adventure filled with boundless opportunities for self-discovery and reinvention.

Tips to help you with YOUR colour transformation

Consultation is Key

Openly discuss your preferences, concerns, and lifestyle to ensure the best colour outcome.


Understanding colours and undertones

The right undertone can compliment your skin tone and enhance your overall look. Colourists will base colours on colour theory. This is the fundamental understanding of how colours interact and compliment each other when applied to hair. It involves concepts like the colour wheel, undertones, and the relationship between warm and cool shades. Hairdressers use this knowledge to select the most flattering hair colours for you based on your skin tone, eye colour, and personal preferences and style.

Exploring Colour Options

There is a wide range of options beyond just changing your hair colour. It includes techniques like highlights, lowlights, balayage, and ombre that can add depth and dimension to your hair, enhance your facial features and elevate your overall look.

 

Customization

At Kudos, we like to emphasise unique style and personality. Work with your Hairdresser to select shades and techniques that resonate with your individuality.

 

Consider Maintenance

Remember that different colours require varying levels of maintenance. Discuss the upkeep involved in the colour you want. Discuss with your stylist which products and the type of hair care routine to best help extend the life of your Salon colour.

 

Healthy Hair First

Maintaining the health of your hair is a stylist’s number one priority. Healthy hair holds colour better and looks more vibrant. We recommend regular trims and conditioning treatments to keep your locks in their most luxurious condition.

 

Realistic Expectations

Achieving certain colours may require multiple sessions, especially for dramatic transformations. Make sure to discuss these, including any concerns you may have with your stylist.

 

Semi-Permanent vs. Permanent

Discuss the differences between semi-permanent, and permanent hair colour options. Temporary options allow for experimentation without long-term commitment, while permanent options provide lasting results.

 

Avoiding Box Dyes

We strongly advise against using box dyes at home without professional guidance. Salon-quality products combined with the expertise of a professional stylist result in more precise and desirable outcomes.

 

Inspirational Photos

Bring in pictures of hair colours and styles you admire. These visuals can help the stylist understand your vision and preferences more clearly.

 

Ask Questions

You should always feel comfortable asking questions throughout the colouring process. After all, it is YOUR hair. Knowledgeable stylists are happy to explain each step and address any concerns. Our highest priority is your satisfaction.

Trust your Stylist

Skilled colourists understand colour theory, techniques, and trends, and they can guide you toward choices that enhance your natural beauty.

 

Remember, hair colour is not just a change in appearance; it's an art form that can boost your confidence and leave you feeling more empowered and beautiful. Whether you're looking for a subtle change or a bold transformation, embracing the art of colour can help you achieve stunning, head-turning results. So, embrace the possibilities, trust your stylist, and enjoy the exciting world of hair colour!
