HOW WILL A COLORIST TAILOR THE EXPERIENCE FOR ME?


Hair Contouring is an art and a service that can only be performed by a professional colourist. Firstly, the colourist will identify your face shape and those areas of your face which, if targeted with professional colour, will help frame your face so as to enhance and define to  reveal your ideal facial shape and enhance your beauty. Next they will consult with you upon your what you're looking for and will offer their professional opinion on choice of colour - for a more natural look, you should stay within 2 shades of your natural colour as well as match the shade with your natural skin tone. From here the colourist will segment your hair into those pre-specified quadrants and utilise freehand, for a more subtle finish, or highlight separately, for a more defined result, to frame your face in a way that will magnify your beauty.
