"There are so many factors that go into what shade will look best on an individual," Lewis says. "But skin tone and eye color are major players."
Moon and Lewis agree that as a general rule of thumb, fair-skinned women generally look better with warmer shades (bronde, golden or sandy), and the dark- or olive-skinned ladies pull off cooler shades better (light bronde, ombres and platinum). Though they note there are always exceptions.
"Eyes can change all the rules," Lewis says. "I lean more toward cool tones for blue and light eyes, and my brown-eyed girls tend to look better with warmer shades of blonde. Green eyes are like chameleons. Depending on skin tone, they can go either way."
If possible, Lewis recommends his clients go as far as to visit a wig shop and try on a variety of colors prior to their appointment, as it offers the most realistic idea of what the major change will look like.
