Choosing the right hair colour isn’t just about following trends – it’s about enhancing your natural beauty and finding a shade that brings out the best in your features. At Llongueras, we believe that the perfect hair colour can transform your look and boost your confidence. In this guide, we’ll walk you through selecting a colour that complements your skin tone and how our expert colourists can help you achieve the look you’ve always wanted.
Understanding Your Skin Tone

Before exploring colour options, let’s take a moment to understand skin tone. Your skin tone is the foundation of choosing a hair colour that looks harmonious and natural. There are three main types of skin tones:
- Cool Skin Tones: Cool skin tones typically have pink or blue undertones. You might notice blue or purple veins on your wrists, and cool-toned individuals often burn more quickly in the sun.
- Warm Skin Tones: Skin tones have yellow, peach, or golden undertones. If your veins appear greenish, you likely have a warm skin tone. People with warm tones may tan easily and rarely burn.
- Neutral Skin Tones: Neutral skin tones have a balanced mix of warm and cool undertones, allowing for a wide range of colour choices. You might fall into this category if your veins look blue and green.
The Best Hair Colors for Each Skin Tone
Once you’ve identified your skin tone, finding colours that naturally enhance your complexion is easier.
For Cool Skin Tones

Cool skin tones shine in colours with cool undertones. Shades like ashy blondes, icy platinum, cool dark browns, and jewel tones like rich burgundy create a natural contrast and highlight cool undertones.
- Recommended Shades: Ash Blonde, Platinum Blonde, Cool Brown, Burgundy, Dark Chocolate
- Llongueras Service Highlight: Our “Total Color” service completely transforms with long-lasting, vibrant cool tones that bring out the best in cool complexions.
For Warm Skin Tones

With a neutral skin tone, you can experiment with both warm and cool shades. Neutral tones can pull off classic browns, soft blondes, or even bolder shades like Auburn and ombre.

- Llongueras Service Highlight: Our “Patch” and “Double Patch” services allow for custom highlights and lowlights, creating a unique colour blend that works all year round.

- Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners: These help preserve the colour vibrancy and prevent fading.
- Rinse with cool water: Cool water keeps hair cuticles closed, allowing colour to last longer.
- Schedule regular touch-ups: Book a “Root Touch-Up” every few weeks to keep your roots and overall colour looking vibrant.
