Hair Color Workshop: Tips for First-Time Blondes

Thinking of going blonde this summer? Bright, beautiful blonde hair colors are definitely trending this year as people get back into their professional salons for expert color services. If it’s your first time going blonde, there are a few things to know before making your decision about a light blonde hair color.

Natural hair color. The darker your hair, the more steps it will take to get to a light summer blonde shade. That’s an important fact to know because if your natural shade is very dark, it will likely take several appointments to get to the blonde you want.

Preferred hair color level. It’s important to discuss the shade of blonde you’re looking for with your expert colorist at Anna’s Salon Elite before making your choice. We want you to love your end result, so our professional colorists will discuss what’s possible with your hair’s color and condition.

Skin tone. Before choosing your shade, your expert colorist will show you which colors will look best with your skin tone. There are multitudes of shades of blonde, and warmer tones and cooler tones look different with different skin tones.

Hair Color history. Although today’s hair color formulas are gentle to hair, if you’ve colored your hair multiple times, it may affect the level of lightening you can safely get when going blonde. It’s important to discuss your hair color history with your Anna’s hair colorist before choosing your shade.

Hair condition and strength. Your Anna’s colorist will assess your hair’s condition before helping you choose your shade of blonde. If your hair is damaged and dry, you may need some professional conditioning treatments before starting the lightening process. We want your color to look amazing, so it’s important that your hair is in top condition before coloring.

Understanding the commitment to maintenance. Before making your decision to go blonde, talk to your Anna’s colorist about what is needed to maintain your color. Most likely, you’ll need special haircare products and regular touch-up appointments to keep your color looking fabulous, so understand the level of commitment you’ll need before choosing your bright blonde summer color.
