What Hair Color Suits Me? How to Pick a Shade That Actually Works for You 💇‍♀️🎨

You’ve fallen down the Pinterest rabbit hole. You’ve screenshot that celebrity blonde, that deep brunette, and maybe even a cinnamon copper.

But here’s the truth bomb: just because it looks amazing on them…doesn’t mean it’ll suit you. 😬

At Lockerbie Lock, we help clients choose hair colors that don’t just look pretty—they fit.They work with your skin tone, your lifestyle, your vibe… and they grow out like a dream.

So if you're asking "What hair color suits me?", here’s your cheat sheet. Let’s make this easy 👇

🎨 Step 1: Understand Your Skin Tone & Undertone

This one’s big.

🔥 If You Have Warm Undertones

Your skin glows with golden, peachy, or olive hues. You probably tan easily and love gold jewelry.

Colors that suit you best:

• Honey blonde

• Caramel

• Golden brown

• Auburn

• Chestnut

• Warm, rich black

Avoid: Ashy tones that can make your complexion look dull or washed out.

❄️ If You Have Cool Undertones

Your skin has pink, red, or bluish undertones. You may burn before tanning, and silver jewelry probably pops.

Colors that suit you best:

• Ash brown

• Icy blonde

• Espresso

• Plum, wine, or burgundy

• Blue-black

Avoid: Super golden or brassy tones that can clash.

⚖️ If You’re Neutral

Congrats, you can wear a wide range! Go with soft, balanced tones—neither too warm nor too cool.

Try:

• Sandy beige blondes

• Neutral brunette

• Rose gold

• Mushroom brown

• Smoky balayage

🧬 Step 2: Match Your Hair Color to Your Lifestyle

If you love low-maintenance routines and never want to see your roots: → Go for lived-in balayage, root smudge blends, or a shade close to your natural base.

If you’re cool with frequent touch-ups: → Platinum blonde, bold reds, or jet black might be your jam—just know they come with upkeep.

If you love flexibility: → Try semi- or demi-permanent color for soft results that grow out gently.

📌 Reminder: We’ll help you weigh longevity, maintenance cost, and how often you want to be in our chair.

👩‍🎨 Step 3: Think About Your Vibe

Hair color = personal branding.

• Want soft, approachable, glowing? Go warm honey or toffee brown.

• Want bold, edgy, mysterious? Think cool black or violet-red.

• Want fun and playful? Try copper, rose gold, or dimensional balayage.

And if you’re unsure?We’ll guide you toward a tone that makes you feel like the best version of you—not someone else.
