How to choose the right hair colour for your skin tone
Trends are fine and good but do they suit you ?
Finding your perfect hair colour isn’t about chasing trends — it’s about complementing your skin tone. The right shade can brighten your complexion, make your eyes pop, and boost your confidence instantly.
Cool, Warm, or Neutral?
A quick guide from Stevie, 5 times Australian colourist of the year
Cool tones: Think pink or rosy undertones — try ash, beige, or icy blondes.
Warm tones: If your skin glows golden or olive, go for honey, caramel, or copper hues.
Neutral tones: Lucky you — you can wear almost anything!
At Stevie English Hair our colour experts look beyond instagram filters to create shades to enhance you!

Ecoheads: The secret to cleaner, healthier hair
Your hair deserves better than just shampoo and conditioner — it deserves pure, clean water. That’s where the Ecoheads system comes in.

Why your blonde doesnt last and how to fix it.
We hear it all the time: “My blonde looked amazing when I left the salon, but a few weeks later it’s gone dull or brassy.”
You’re not imagining it — keeping blonde hair fresh is an art and listening to us ;)
At Stevie English Hair, we live and breathe blonde. From icy platinum to buttery blonde, we know that what happens after your appointment matters just as much as what we do in the chair.
Here’s why your blonde might be fading faster than you’d like — and what you can do about it:
1.
Water
Sydney’s water isnt great. Minerals in tap water can dull blonde tones and leave your hair feeling rough. at the salon we use Ecohead taps that clean the water, make it 40% softer and take a lot of harsh metals out of it.
Fix: You can come and get a detoxing treatment in thesalon where we remove the build up of metals and prodcuts in your blonde hair.
You can go to the extreme and look for a fitler for your shower as well
2.
Hot Tools + Heat
Excessive heat styling literally bakes the toner out of your hair.
Fix: Always use a heat protector ( heat bounce or goodess ) — and try turning your hot tools down a few degrees. (Your hair will thank you.)
3.
Skipping Home Care
Professional toners are designed to fade, but without proper home care, that process happens faster. why spend money getting your hair done and not getting the home hair care recommended
Fix: Use a professional blonde shampoo and conditioner (not all purple shampoos are equal!). Your stylist can match the right one to your tone — cool, clean, or creamy.
4.
Sun, Sea & Pool
UV rays, salt, and chlorine are the blonde’s triple threat.
Fix: Rinse your hair with fresh water before and after swimming, wear a hat in the sun, and book a treatment when summer fun is done.
5.
Timing Is Everything
If you’re stretching your appointments too far, your toner might be long gone before your next visit.
Fix: Come in for a gloss or mini toner between full services — a quick refresh keeps your blonde bright and healthy. We use ecoheads toners for fast toners that our a micro colour treatment that help your blonde stay blonder, whilst making your hair feel like amazing hair again!
The Bottom Line:
Beautiful blonde isn’t a one-day event — it’s a collaboration.
With the right aftercare and expert guidance, your blonde can stay as stunning as the day you left the salon.
