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.
