Your eye color will always be a true indication of what tone you should be." This can be a very helpful guide, as your skin tone can change with the seasons. "Take a look at your eye color-if there is more warm or cool tones-and match your hair tone to that. Lee is a big proponent of using your eyes to help choose the right shade. She advises to consult your colorist when it comes to choosing the right shade as they have all gone through serious training to have the ability to determine this. "You can have the most beautiful, perfectly done blonde hair, but if it doesn’t work with your skin tone and eye color, it won’t do anything for you," says Garrone. While prices can vary all over the country, I would say this service can range anywhere between $300-$600 or higher in New York City," says Garrone. If you’re going to do it, it's best to do it right the first time, so you don't have to then go in for additional 'fixing' appointments. "This can be a costly service but it's best not to skimp on price when it comes to a major color change if you are able to. That's a time investment you have to consider before making the plunge. "It can take one appointment if the hair gods are in your favor, but it typically takes about three to get you to where you really want to be," says Nikki Lee, Garnier consulting hair colorist. "Do not rush into it: Take your time, especially for those with a long color history, as keeping hair as healthy as possible is always the main priority." The number of salon visits and total time taken will vary depending on your current color, desired shade, and hair length, texture, and history. "Your colorist should be transparent about how long and how many visits it will take based on your hair," says Solano.
Plus, the type of dye you used (in salon or box color at home) can affect the way your hair will take to the lighter color.
"Sometimes old color (even from a year ago or longer) may need to be removed before a service like this or else the hair won’t lift evenly and could potentially cause damage," says Samantha Garrone, colorist at Salon AKS in NYC. Be thorough about your hair’s history in the consultation, even if you think something is irrelevant.
When you visit the salon, "be clear about your expectations and discuss your desired look, your hair texture, and hair history," Solano advises.
