Here, three A-list colourists explain what you should be asking for at the salon and which techniques they use on their clients to get flawless results every time...

Your colourist may recommend gradual highlighting, balayage or carefully controlled lightening sessions depending on your hair type. Be honest about your hair history and ask about bond building treatments because the health of the hair is paramount.” – [*Cetera Lamb*](https://www.instagram.com/ceteralambcolour/) --- [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/j4fXec0O-mAx7XoSf_lqlDpJ6Eg=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-280926-dream-hair-colour-jacobschwartzhair-3-daisy-edgar-jones.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/jacobschwartzhair/) @JacobSchwartzHair ## Warm Brunette #### Inspiration: Daisy Edgar Jones “It’s more difficult to describe brunettes because tonal shades like ‘espresso’ or ‘milk chocolate’ can mean different things to different people. I actually used six different colours to create Daisy’s look, which I’ve described as ‘strawberry brunette’ before because it has a warm undertone to it.” – [*Jacob Schwartz*](https://www.instagram.com/jacobschwartzhair/) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/7r7x4q6QeAEW805lbhZ4wDSH9LU=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-280926-dream-hair-colour-nicolaclarkecolour-jodie-comer.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/nicolaclarkecolour/) @NicoleClarkeColour ## Neutral Blonde #### Inspiration: Jodie Comer “For Jodie’s hair, I use foils and bleach to take it to a soft golden blonde. I also tip the ends for extra vibrancy. I’d say it’s neither warm nor cold, it’s a neutral tone.” – [*Nicola Clarke*](https://www.instagram.com/nicolaclarkecolour/) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/KWn8D_HXQ0aV74U91iDcB0jSZqE=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-280926-dream-hair-colour-jacobschwartzhair-4-margot-robbie.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/jacobschwartzhair/) @JacobSchwartzHair ## Golden Blonde #### Inspiration: Margot Robbie “Margot’s colour is really bright and golden, but more on the cool side. It’s a combination of strategically placed highlights all over and I put a soft, demi-permanent gloss on the roots to take the edge off and boost the vibrancy. ” – *Jacob* --- [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/AK363QW4TkAG8ViQujJQIUVlNQU=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-280926-dream-hair-colour-lorealparis-1-kendall-jenner.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/lorealparis/) @LOrealParis ## Rich Brunette #### Inspiration: Kendall Jenner “Ask for a rich, glossy chocolate brunette with depth and warmth, rather than just ‘dark brown’. Your colourist should tailor the tone depending on your skin tone and natural hair colour. Chocolate can range from a deeper, cooler brunette to a warmer more golden brown, so bringing a reference photo with you is really important.” – *Cetera* [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/GCq7D_6uOB_IUsuJerZcohpVDX8=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-280926-dream-hair-colour-jacobschwartzhair-1-grace-van-patten.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/jacobschwartzhair/) @JacobSchwartzHair ## Golden Strawberry Blonde #### Inspiration: Grace Van Patten “This warm and vibrant strawberry blonde is the perfect combination of a light brunette with a touch of gold – but not too copper. I used placed highlights throughout, then finished with a demi permanent colour to intensify the vibrance.” – *Jacob* [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/vivvRpZmx9C9YaASEiRpAOvBooE=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-280926-dream-hair-colour-jacobschwartzhair-2-bella-hadid.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/jacobschwartzhair/) @JacobSchwartzHair ## Honey Blonde #### Inspiration: Bella Hadid “I took Bella’s colour from dark brown to blonde for Cannes two years ago. I’d describe it as golden around the face and on the ends, but slightly cooler on the roots. If you want to achieve this look, you need time and patience: the process took 22 hours to achieve.” – *Jacob* --- [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/y6RGqJ3NSGJcNgDDdWankN_lJV4=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-280926-dream-hair-colour-jacobschwartzhair-miley-cyrus.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/jacobschwartzhair/) @JacobSchwartzHair ## Dimensional Blonde #### Inspiration: Miley Cyrus “I did Miley’s hair for the Hannah Montana anniversary. We went for a warm blonde with a lot of dimension via dark and light contrasts. ” – *Jacob* #### [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/SEvdfRu1dlckANwNzqeKHB0286E=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-280926-dream-hair-colour-katemossagency-kate-moss.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/nicolaclarkecolour/) @KateMossAgency ## Sunkissed Blonde #### Inspiration: Kate Moss “With Kate, I frame the face with a lighter colour so it looks like it’s been lifted in the sun. I do this using foil highlights but it can also be achieved with balayage. If you want to copy any look, I’d say images are the best way to communicate with your colourist.” – *Nicola* *Follow* [@NICOLACLARKECOLOUR](https://www.instagram.com/nicolaclarkecolour/),
