How can a stylist determine the right color for extensions?

Determining the right color for extensions involves assessing the client's natural hair color accurately, which is best done in natural light. This method allows the stylist to see the true shades and undertones of the hair, making it easier to select extensions that will blend seamlessly. Natural light reveals nuances that may be obscured under artificial lighting, ensuring that the chosen color complements the client’s overall appearance.

While comparing to the client's wardrobe colors might provide some insight into their style preferences, it doesn't consider the natural hair tone, which is crucial for a harmonious look with the extensions. Similarly, selecting a trendy color may not suit every client’s personal style or skin tone, leading to a mismatch. Mixing various colors could create a unique effect, but without a solid foundation based on the client's natural color, the result might not achieve the desired blend or enhancement. Hence, the approach of assessing the natural hair color in natural light is the most reliable method for a stylist to ensure a match that looks natural and aesthetically pleasing.
