Not sure what to book? Here’s the simplest way to decide.
Most colour anxiety comes from one thing: you’re trying to choose a service without a plan. This guide helps you pick the right next step — with the least risk and the most clarity.
1) The one rule: if there’s uncertainty, start with a consultation
If you have any of these, a colour consultation is the smartest (and safest) first move:
- You’ve used box dye — even “years ago”.
- Your hair is patchy, banded, or brassy.
- You want a big change (dark → light, or warm → cool).
- You’re new to RoseRico and not sure what you need.
2) The 30-second booking check
Choose the statement that feels most true:
3) Pick your path (with the right next step)
Path A — Balayage / Lived-in Blonde
Choose this if you want a brighter, softer look with a gentle grow-out (no harsh stripes).
- Best for: natural-looking brightness, face framing, low-to-medium maintenance.
- Common worry: “I don’t want it to go brassy.” (We plan tone + aftercare.)
- Next step: If you’re unsure, book a consultation. If your hair is predictable and you have minimal colour history, you can book Balayage directly.
Path B — Gloss / Tone Refresh
Choose this if you basically like your colour — it just needs a polish: cooler tone, more shine, less warmth.
- Best for: brassiness control, “in-between” maintenance, shine + softness.
- Common worry: “Will it last?” (Depends on heat, water, products — we’ll guide you.)
- Next step: Gloss/toner refresh service.
Path C — Grey Blending / Root Melt
Choose this if you want softer regrowth and less “line” as hair grows out — without full harsh coverage.
- Best for: a softer, more wearable transition with grey.
- Common worry: “Will it look natural?” (Yes — blending is designed to look softer.)
- Next step: Grey blending service or consultation if you have complex colour history.
Path D — Colour Correction (planned stages)
Choose this if you have banding, patchiness, a strong brassy result, or box dye history — and want a safer route to a better outcome.
- Best for: “fixing a problem” and creating a realistic end goal without wrecking hair.
- Common worry: “Can it be done in one session?” (Sometimes, but often it’s staged.)
- Next step: Colour consultation for a correction plan (and sometimes a strand test).
4) What to send (so I can guide you properly)
If you request a consultation, please send:
- 2 photos in natural light (front + back)
- 1–2 goal photos
- When you last coloured your hair (and what was used)
- Any box dye history (even if it was “a while ago”)
5) Your next step
If you want the calmest route, book a colour consultation. If you’re confident you just need maintenance, book a gloss refresh. Either way — we’ll keep things clear, safe, and cool-toned.
