Colour is chemistry, and chemistry is slow to undo
Warm or cool
Copper and honey read warm, ash and beige read cool. Seeing both against your own skin tone settles the argument faster than a swatch book in a salon.
Root to end
Full-head platinum, a caramel melt from a dark root, a money piece at the front, a silver blend through the mid-lengths. Placement matters as much as shade.
Bleach reality
Jet black to platinum is not one appointment. Decide where you want to land before you agree to the first lift and the bond builder.
Toner and upkeep
Blonde moves. Brassy at week six is normal and a toner pulls it back. Judge the shade freshly done, then plan the upkeep around it.
Questions about the virtual Hair Colour Try-On
Straight answers, no hedging.
Yes. Only the pigment of the hair changes. Your skin tone is not warmed, your eyes are not brightened and the lighting in the photo is left alone, because the whole question is how a shade sits against your actual complexion. Any render that flatters the face too has stopped being useful.
It is used to create your render and kept in your library, where only you can see it. Advertisers get nothing, and the privacy policy sets out who does see it.
The render shows the target shade, not the chemistry. Where you actually land depends on your starting level, porosity, any box dye already in the hair and the toner your colourist chooses. Bring the image as a goal for a consultation and let them tell you how many sessions it takes.
You can see it, and you should also be realistic about it. Going from jet black to icy platinum is several sessions with recovery time between them, not one afternoon. The preview is useful precisely because it shows whether the end point is worth that.
Yes. Shadow roots, a caramel melt starting below the ear, a bright money piece at the front or a silver blend through the mid-lengths all look different on the same head. Placement is often the decision people actually get wrong, not the shade itself.
No card and no account for the first look. Upload one selfie, pick a shade, see it. Free use is one look a day, so if you want to line up copper, ash and honey in a single sitting, that is what the paid plan covers.
