Thinking about going blonde, but not sure which shade will actually suit you?
You’re not alone.
At ICONIC Hairdressing in Evesham and Pershore, this is one of the most common questions we hear — and for good reason.
The truth is, the right blonde isn’t about trends. It’s about skin tone, undertone, and confidence.
Here’s how we find the shade that feels most “you.”
1. First, Know Your Skin Undertone
Your skin undertone (not your surface colour) makes all the difference in choosing a blonde that flatters you.
There are three main undertones:
-
Cool: Pink, rosy or blueish undertones
-
Warm: Golden, peachy or olive undertones
-
Neutral: A mix of both — balanced and versatile
You can check yours by looking at the veins on your wrist:
-
Blue/purple veins → Cool
-
Greenish veins → Warm
-
A mix → Neutral
2. Best Blonde Shades for Cool Skin Tones
If your skin has cool undertones, warm or creamy blondes are your best match — they balance your complexion and stop it looking washed out.
Try:
-
Champagne blonde
-
Soft beige or honey blonde
-
Creamy golden blonde
Avoid ash tones that might make your skin appear dull.
At ICONIC, we often add subtle warmth or face-framing highlights to give your complexion a healthy glow.
3. Best Blonde Shades for Warm Skin Tones
If your skin has warm undertones, cooler blondes help neutralise the warmth and bring balance.
Try:
-
Icy blonde
-
Soft pearl or beige blonde
-
Cool sandy tones or balayage
These shades brighten your complexion and create that expensive, natural-looking blonde that never looks brassy.
We use Joico toners to keep cool tones crisp without dullness.
4. Best Blonde Shades for Neutral Skin Tones
Lucky you — neutral tones can wear almost any blonde.
You can play with both warm and cool shades depending on the look you love most.
For example:
-
Neutral beige blonde for balance
-
Buttery blonde for warmth
-
Ash balayage for contrast
Our stylists at ICONIC blend multiple tones using Joico multi-dimensional colour, so your blonde always looks natural and soft, not one-dimensional.
5. The ICONIC Approach: It’s About You, Not the Chart
No two blondes are the same — and we never rely on generic colour charts.
Your stylist will consider your:
-
Skin tone
-
Eye colour
-
Natural base
-
Maintenance preference
-
Lifestyle
Then we’ll design a bespoke blonde that enhances your features and keeps your hair healthy, glossy and flattering — whether that’s grey-blending, balayage, or bright highlights.
6. How to Keep Your Perfect Blonde Looking Its Best
Once you’ve found your ideal shade, care is everything.
We’ll help you maintain your tone and condition with:
-
Joico Blonde Life Shampoo & Conditioner
-
Joico violet toning treatments
-
Regular toner refresh every 6–8 weeks
This keeps your blonde bright, balanced and beautiful between appointments.
