Changing your hair color is one of the fastest (and most fun) ways to switch up your look—but finding the right shade? That’s where things get tricky.
At Beaudee Salon, we believe great color starts with great guidance. Whether you’re dreaming of icy blonde, chocolate brunette, or a warm copper refresh, the secret to a flattering transformation often comes down to one key factor: your skin tone.
Here’s our go-to guide for finding the best color for your complexion—plus a few tips from our stylists to help you love the way you look.
First Things First: What’s Your Skin Tone?
Skin tone isn’t about how light or dark your skin is—it’s about the undertone beneath the surface. There are three main categories:
Not sure which you are? Check your wrist. If your veins look blue or purple, you’re likely cool-toned. If they look green, you’re probably warm-toned. If it’s hard to tell, you may be neutral (lucky you!).
Best Hair Colors for Cool Skin Tones
If you have cool undertones, colors that bring out your natural contrast tend to look best.
Go-to shades:
Avoid: overly warm or golden shades, which can make your skin look flushed.
Thinking about going bold? Our expert coloring and lightening sessions include a full-tone consultation to ensure your final look is picture-perfect.
Best Hair Colors for Warm Skin Tones
Warm tones glow with gold and honey-rich hues. Think sun-kissed, soft, and radiant.
Go-to shades:
Avoid: ash-toned or overly cool shades that can wash you out.

What About Neutral Skin Tones?
You’ve got the best of both worlds! Most shades will look beautiful on you, so it really comes down to personality, maintenance, and mood.
If you’re open to something low-maintenance but still fresh, ask us about soft balayage or rooted melts during your next Hair Mini Bar session.
