Hair and Color Analysis
A process to determine the condition and best color for your hair according to,

but not limited to your eye color, complexion, age, facial features,

personal styles, and lifestyle.

Determining your natural hair
The length, density, hair type, and percentage of grey hair are also examined.

Determining the condition of your hair
The integrity of your hair is examined for any damage done through the

environment, your health, diet, daily maintenance, medication, heat, sun,

and chemical hair treatments such as color or straighteners. Sometimes during the consultation, a test strand will be done to determine how the hair reacts.

Determining the right colors
The first step to determine which color would work best for you is to find out if you have cool or warm skin undertones.
The second step would be to analyze what value and intensity of colors are needed. Color value relates to light and dark. The level of color and intensity relates to softness and brightness. The best way to find out what value and intensity of colors work for you is to have a color analysis done by an experienced hair colorist.

Course of Action
A procedure is then determined to give the client the desired look within reasonable expectations, taking into account the current conditions. With the primary concern being the health and longevity of the hair. This is where an experienced corrective colorist is indispensable.

Why the right color is so important:
You have a few seconds to make a first impression and you never get a second chance.
Color is subtle but has an influence on what other people think of you. Some of the benefits of having the right hair color include:
- younger and healthier appearance
- refined facial shape and jawline
- slimmer facial contours
- diminished scars and skin imperfections
this will also have the secondary effect of helping with your confidence, posture, and your overall appearance.

Summary
It can not be emphasized enough, that the right color combination, precisely executed with proper configuration, placement, color interfusing, and an artistic interpretation can be life-altering.
