How to Match Your Skin Tone with the Right Hair Color: Expert Tips

When it comes to choosing the perfect hair color, the options can seem endless. From a stunning platinum blonde to a dramatic jet black, and every shade in between, finding the right color for your hair can be a daunting task. However, the secret to a standout hair color lies not just in the latest trends but in understanding your skin tone. This knowledge can be the difference between a hair color that just looks good, and one that is truly a reflection of your unique beauty. 


In this guide from Volume Salons—Edmonton's premier destination for high-impact hair transformations—we delve into expert tips on how to best match your skin tone with the right hair color, ensuring that your new look enhances your natural beauty, elevates your style, and builds your confidence.


Understanding Your Skin Tone


Before you can consider matching hair color with a skin tone, you first need to understand what your skin tone is. Complexions typically fall into one of three categories: warm, cool, or neutral. Warm tones have a golden or apricot undertone, cool tones have blue or pink undertones, and neutral tones are a balance of both cool and warm tones. Our professional stylists at Volume Salons can help you determine your skin tone, setting the stage for the perfect hair color match.


Best Hair Colors for Warm Skin Tones


Embrace the radiance of warm skin tones with hair colors that complement their golden undertones. Gorgeous shades of chestnut, warm brown, golden blond, and coppery red are a perfect match. Also, the hair color should be warm, rich, and vibrant to complement a warm skin tone. 


Best Hair Colors for Cool Skin Tones


Cool skin tones call for hair colors that are equally cool. Think icy blondes, ashy browns, or jet black. Another excellent choice is vibrant shades of blue or purple for those who want a more unconventional, edgier look.


Best Hair Colors for Neutral Skin Tones


Neutral skin tones are versatile; they can pull off a wide range of hair colors. From subtle blond to fiery red or even cool black, you can experiment freely. However, it's essential to maintain the balance of your hair color to ensure it looks natural and harmonious.


Extra Tips for a Flawless Hair Color Transformation


1. Understand Your Eye Color: Your eyes may offer another clue to discovering the best hair color. Typically, cool-toned skin has blue or green eyes, while warm-toned skin usually has brown eyes. This is a general guide and may not always apply.


2. Conduct a Color Test: If you're unsure, a professional color test can help identify the perfect hair color for you. At Volume Salons, our expert stylists can conduct this test and provide a customized hair color solution.


3. Ensure Hair Health: No matter what color you choose, maintaining your hair health is fundamental. Use treatments like Olaplex and Keratin treatments to protect your hair during and after the coloring process.


4. Trust the Professionals: Finally, trust the professionals. Our color experts at Volume Salons have the knowledge and skills to determine the best shade for your skin tone, taking the guesswork out of the process.


To Summarize


Choosing the right hair color that matches your skin tone helps to accentuate your best features and boost your confidence. At Volume Salons, we value your individuality, and our Schwarzkopf color treatments allow us to provide you with customized hair shades that perfectly align with your skin tone and lifestyle.
