How to Choose the Best Hair Color for Your Skin Tone and Eye Color

Choosing the right hair color isn’t just about trends— it’s about finding shades that enhance your natural features, brighten your complexion and make you feel your most confident. The best hair color works with your skin tone and eye color, not against them.

Step 1: Understand Your Skin Tone (Warm, Cool or Neutral)

Your skin tone plays a major role in how hair color reflects against your face.

Warm Skin Tones

You likely have warm undertones if:

• Your veins appear green

• Gold jewelry looks best on you

• Your skin has peachy, golden or olive hues

Most flattering hair colors:

• Honey blonde

• Golden blonde

• Caramel

• Warm bronde

• Copper

• Soft auburn

• Warm chocolate brown

*These shades add warmth and glow without washing you out.

Cool Skin Tones

You may have cool undertones if:

• Your veins appear blue or purple

• Silver jewelry flatters you most

• Your skin has pink, red or rosy hues

Most flattering hair colors:

• Ash blonde

• Beige blonde

• Pearl or icy blonde

• Cool brunette

• Espresso

• Blue-based black

• Cool red or burgundy

*Cool tones balance redness.

Neutral Skin Tones

If you look great in both gold and silver jewelry, you likely fall into the neutral category— lucky you!

Most flattering hair colors:

• Balanced blondes (beige, creamy, champagne)

• Neutral bronde

• Soft mocha brown

• Dimensional lived-in color

*Neutral tones give you the most flexibility and dimension.

Step 2: Choose Shades That Enhance Your Eye Color

Hair color can make your eye color pop when chosen intentionally.

Blue Eyes

• Bright blondes

• Beige or pearl tones

• Soft copper

• Cool light brown

*These shades enhance contrast and brightness.

Green Eyes

• Copper

• Auburn

• Warm brown

• Golden blonde

*Warm hues intensify green eyes beautifully.

Brown Eyes

• Caramel

• Honey blonde

• Chocolate brown

• Bronde

• Espresso with warm highlights

*Brown eyes pair well with both warm and cool dimensions.

Hazel Eyes

• Bronde

• Soft copper

• Honey blonde

• Dimensional brunette

*Multi-tonal colors bring out the gold and green flecks in hazel eyes.

Step 3: Consider Your Lifestyle and Maintenance Level

The best hair color isn’t just flattering— it fits your lifestyle.

Ask yourself:

• How often do I want to come in for maintenance?

• Do I prefer soft grow-out or bold contrast?

• How much time do I want to spend styling at home?

Lived-in blondes, balayage and dimensional color offer longevity with minimal upkeep, while solid blondes or high contrast looks may require more frequent visits.

Why a Professional Consultation Matters

Online inspiration is helpful, but a customized consultation is where the magic happens. A professional colorist considers:

• Your skin tone and eye color

• Your natural level and undertones

• Hair integrity and history

• Your lifestyle and maintenance goals

This ensures your color not only looks beautiful on day one— but grows out seamlessly and stays healthy.

A Thoughtful Color Experience Starts With the Consultation

The most beautiful hair color doesn’t happen by chance— it starts with clarity, communication and intention. That’s why every color service begins with a thorough in-person consultation guided by your completed online consultation form.
