You may want a color close to the hair you know, or you may be ready for something different. Both are useful starting points.
Choose a reference, not a rule
A photograph of a color you have enjoyed wearing can help us understand your preference. Describe what you like: a softer brown, less warmth, a darker root, or gentle brightness near the face.
Skin-tone categories are only a way to discuss color. They do not determine which shades you can wear, and a jewelry test cannot replace seeing the color beside your face.
Check it in natural light
Lighting and screen settings change how hair appears. Compare clear, unfiltered photos from more than one angle. If you want a close match, ask about current swatch or color-reference options before purchasing.
Understand roots and dimension
A rooted color has a deliberately deeper shade near the cap. It can add depth and a familiar transition into the lengths. A wig does not grow new roots; this is a design choice, not a way to hide regrowth.
Highlights and lowlights create contrast. Look at how strong that contrast appears around the face, not only at the overall color name.
Ask before changing color
Human hair may already have been processed. Do not assume a dark piece can be safely lightened. A wig colorist should assess the actual hair and, where appropriate, test a strand before a change.
Plan color and cutting together with your stylist, and review the current terms before alterations. Send us your reference and the listing you are considering; we can help you compare them.
