Why a Video Consultation Is the Secret to Your Perfect Colour
By Lauren. Created on February 4, 2026
Finding your perfect hair colour shouldn’t feel overwhelming. It should feel exciting, confidence-boosting, and most importantly, right for you.
At Josh Wood Colour, we believe great colour starts with understanding. Your natural shade, your undertones, your lifestyle, and how you want your hair to look between colours all matter. That’s why we’ve built a colour system designed to be personal, flexible, and beautifully foolproof.
If you’ve ever wondered “Which shade is actually right for me?”, you’re in exactly the right place.
Why One-Size-Fits-All Colour Never Works
Hair colour is personal. Lighting, regrowth, greys, previous colour, and even how often you wash your hair all affect how colour shows up on you.
That’s why guessing — or copying someone else’s shade — so often leads to disappointment.
Instead, we focus on:
Enhancing your natural base
Blending greys seamlessly
Creating dimension, not flat colour
Making sure your shade grows out beautifully
The goal isn’t just good colour on day one , it’s colour that keeps working for you.
Why a Video Consultation Makes All the Difference
Photos and shade charts can only tell part of the story. A video consultation allows us to see what really matters.
Through video, we can assess:
Your true natural colour (not distorted by lighting or filters)
The distribution and percentage of greys
Warmth, coolness, and undertones in real time
How your current colour has grown out
Your hair’s texture, density, and condition
It’s the closest thing to sitting in a salon chair, without leaving home.
Most importantly, it allows for conversation. You can tell us what you love, what you don’t, and how you want your hair to feel. Softer? Brighter? More natural? Low maintenance? All of that matters.
Your Perfect Match Starts With Our Online Consultation
Our Find Your Shade video consultation takes the guesswork out of colouring at home.
In just a few minutes, you’ll answer simple questions about:
Your natural and current hair colour
The amount of grey you have
Your desired result (natural, brighter, richer, softer)
Your hair type and condition
From there, we recommend the exact shade and the right products to give you salon-quality results at home, with confidence.
