With so many hair coloring kits sold over-the-counter at various pharmacies and grocery stores, you may wonder why you'd pay more to have your hair professionally colored at the salon. The truth is, while professional hair coloring costs more, it does have a lot of advantages over at-home dye jobs. In other words, you get what you pay for. Here are some of the top reasons to have your hair professionally colored instead of going the DIY route.

1. You'll get even results.

Evenly applying color to your hair is harder than you might think. It's certainly not easy to do on your own since you'll have a tough time seeing the back of your head, even with a mirror. You can have a friend help you, but unless they have a lot of experience, they'll probably miss a few strands, too. Professional hair stylists know specific techniques they can use to get even coloring results every time.

2. You can get a color that suits your skin tone.

Not every hair color looks good on every skin tone. You may have warm undertones, meaning that you'll need a color with the same warmer undertones, or you may have cool undertones and need a color with the same. A professional hairstylist can assess your skin tone and recommend colors that suit it well. You're more likely to like these results than those you get from a randomly chosen box of dye from your drug store.

3. You won't get dye all over your skin.

It's really hard to dye your hair at home without getting it on your skin. You might end up with dye stains on your forehead and even on your hands. These can take days to scrub away. When you instead have a professional stylist dye your hair, they take steps to minimize the mess and prevent such staining.

4. You can get a more intricate mixture of colors.

Dying your hair all one, solid color tends to make it look flat and mundane. Mixing in a few different shades, even if those shades are similar, lends itself to a more balanced, natural look. It's really tough to do this at home, but stylists can easily blend colors together for you.

These are just a few of the many reasons why you may want to have your color done at a salon. Talk to a stylist near you to learn more about hair coloring treatments..
