About This Quiz

Whether you never give your hair color much thought or you spend hours poring over the subtly varied hues of buttery blonde and chestnut red in Vogue, the strands on your head undoubtedly make an impression on those around you. The right shade can illuminate your best facial features and enhance your complexion, while the wrong tone may make your skin appear dull and lifeless.

To find the ideal hair color for you, there are numerous factors to consider that range from your skin tone to your eye color, from your lifestyle to your deepest, innermost passions. Like it or not, hair possesses a lot of value in society - hence the enormous and growing market for hair care products and services of all kinds. Whether people are slathering on growth serums or getting a balayage, society's emphasis on hair definitely isn't going to end anytime soon. 

To ensure your strands will always make the right impression, take the following quiz to unveil your ideal hair color, once and for all.  Finish this quiz and make an appointment with your stylist for the best results!
