How can a stylist determine their client’s natural hair color?

A stylist can determine their client’s natural hair color by checking the roots or using a color swatch guide. This method provides the most accurate representation of the client’s true hair color, which is critical for making informed decisions about haircoloring services. Checking the roots allows the stylist to see the client’s uncolored hair, free from any dye or treatments that could alter its appearance.

Using a color swatch guide is also beneficial because it allows the stylist to compare the client’s hair with standardized color samples, ensuring that the client receives the closest match to their natural color. This combination of visual observation and matching against established color guidelines ensures a precise understanding of the client's natural hue, which is vital for creating seamless and harmonious color transitions during the coloring process.
