Where to start? Ask girls you see on the street who their stylist is. “Even if it was four years ago, make sure to tell them.” Why? It can alter the final results. “ will want to know what color has been on your hair and how long ago you had it done,” she adds. “ Ask about maintaining your desired look, ask how many sessions it will take to achieve what you want, ask for a strand test to see if your hair is strong enough.”Īnd, just like you want them to be honest with you, you’ll need to be equally as honest with them. “Ask as many questions as possible,” emphasizes my current colorist, Stephanie Brown, based at IGK Salon (opens in new tab) in Soho.

You 100 percent have the right to ask every question under the sun, and the *right* colorist for you should be able to answer each one with ease.

Now, I’ve literally tried every color under the sun: from rosé pink to dark navy, to lilac purple, and most recently, ice white blonde.
