GET INSPIRED

Our Virtual Color Tool lets you play with a rainbow of colors to find the perfect one for you.

Changing your hair color is always so exciting, yet finding the right inspiration can be a long process. Online searches and flipping through magazines can help, but don’t take into account your skin tone or your existing color. Our hair dye simulator removes the guesswork, so you can see shades directly on yourself before committing. This is why we created our powerful and intuitive Virtual Hair Color try on Tool. It makes exploring your next hair color easy and fun. Our tool gives you an interactive experience, allowing you to test hair dye colors on yourself through your computer camera. You can try different hair colors including 64 blonde, brunette, red and vibrant shades. Not only does our hair color try on tool help you explore natural-looking tones, it also allows you to experiment with trend-forward hues. A curated selection of bold shades lets you try daring looks without the commitment. The tool also features our “Color Melt” ombre effect in 30 shades. You can adjust coverage and experiment with combinations against your existing color.

Begin by uploading a photo of yourself or turning on the live camera mode. Then your creativity has free reign! Our virtual hair try on tool puts inspiration at your fingertips, while giving you a feel for every look before committing to a color in the salon chair.

HOW DOES THE VIRTUAL HAIR COLOR TRY ON WORK?

We wanted to take the worry out of choosing a new shade. The technology behind our virtual hair color tool considers your base hair color and surrounding lighting conditions. This helps create an accurate virtual effect aligned with salon results.

According to Wendy Prior, Aveda Executive Director of Technical Education, using social media photos for inspiration may not show whether a shade is right for you. However, an image generated from the virtual hair color try on tool—showing the shade on your own hair—gives your Aveda Artist a personalized starting point.

From there, your Aveda Artist can tailor the warmth, coolness, brightness or softness of your chosen shade to suit you.

COLOR CARE BEFORE AND AFTER

Pre-appointment care ensures a healthy-looking, color-ready foundation and post-appointment maintenance helps ensure a long-lasting, vibrant shade.

BEFORE YOUR COLOR APPOINTMENT:

Damage control:

To prepare hair for beautiful color, start by addressing damage. Our cruelty free damage remedy™ collection is formulated with quinoa protein and helps repair hair damage while protecting strands.

Use damage remedy™ restructuring shampoo and conditioner to help strengthen damaged hair. For additional support, damage remedy™ daily hair repair reduces breakage by 90%* in one week and helps protect against thermal damage up to 450°F.

For deeper repair, apply damage remedy™ intensive restructuring treatment after shampooing. Formulated with essential protein and lipids, it helps reinforce hair integrity from roots to ends—creating a smoother, stronger canvas before using the hair color try on tool to select your shade.Hydrated and healthy hair:

Hydrated hair creates a better foundation for color. Our vegan nutriplenish™ collection is formulated for all hair types and textures and infused with nutrient-powered superfoods.

Choose nutriplenish™ light moisture shampoo and conditioner for finer hair, or nutriplenish™ deep moisture shampoo and conditioner for medium to coarse hair. Finish with nutriplenish™ leave-in conditioner for moisture that lasts 72 hours and helps protect against the drying effects of the sun.

Healthy-looking hair helps ensure your selected shade from the virtual hair color try on tool looks vibrant and dimensional after your appointment.

AFTER YOUR COLOR APPOINTMENT:

Shiny and protected:

Maintain depth, vibrancy and shine with our color control collection, designed to help reduce fading.

Use color control shampoo to gently cleanse while reducing color fade, followed by color control conditioner to detangle and help seal the cuticle. This 100% vegan color protection system helps protect color for up to 8 weeks**.
