Before you even walk into the salon, it is important for you to do some research. First search the internet for some pictures and get to know about the various colors that are available and then you can go to the salon with some pictures of what colors you want.
2) If it is your first time, consult the Hair Colorist rather than trying DIY products
A word of advice, if it is your first time, it is better to consult a hair colorist rather than trying DIY bleaches, highlights and ruining your hair. Remember, when you are coloring your hair for the first time you are dealing with harsh and chemicals that are permanent so it is better to take some expert advice first.
3) What you see is not the exact replica!
When you see the color on the chart or on the box then you should know that these colors wont exactly show on your hair. That is because your base hair color varies than what is shown to you, so it is important that you note not everything shown to you will be the exact color on your hair as well. There will be 30-40% difference.
4) Hair treatment post hair color is a must
