Using inspiration photos

How to bring a photo to your consultation

Bring 2 or 3 photos of the same idea rather than 10 different ones, and if you can, 1 photo of the direction you'd like to steer clear of. That pair tells your stylist more than a single perfect picture.

Look for photos of hair that started near your own colour and texture. A bright blonde on naturally light hair and the same blonde on a dark base are 2 different plans, and the consultation is where that gets worked out, with a strand test if your hair has been coloured before.

Then tell us how often you'd like to be in the salon. Every 6 weeks, every 12, or twice a year each point to a different placement, which is why lived-in blonde exists in the first place.
