Kind friends paid for me to have mine done when I was feeling miserable so I don't know. But it was great fun sitting there debating the merits of pinky vs orangey reds. And she picked the colours that I liked anyway so now I have justification for my extremely colour-limited wardrobe.

I can't believe people actually do this.It is suburban at its finest I suppose.Have seen it done on tv and muted colours and hideous scarves a gogo.Just go to shops and try things cheaper and less stepford surely

am i missing the big point here - i thought this was a thread on hair colour? clearly i'm wrong!

noddyholder · 07/02/2008 11:59

I do know what they do but can't you do it yourself And what if you are a winter woo and just desperate to wear spring chicken colours . I wear most colours and have never been arrested.I think it would be very limiting

Nbg · 07/02/2008 11:59

lol Meely

No not hair, you go to some place and some bird tells you what your colours suit you etc.

Meeely2 · 07/02/2008 12:01

ah right - i suit blue and baby pink - not red or orange, but i wear em all!

procrastinatingparent · 07/02/2008 12:01

Much easier just to know I look revolting in green, rather then trying to make it work - time consuming and expensive if I get it wrong. Can go straight to the rails with the right colours on.

Mind you, some seasons that's only about the one rail...

CaptainCod · 07/02/2008 12:01

no but whne you wear the right ones there are three good effects

  1. eberythign oyu ahev goes
  2. oyu look SO mcuh better
  1. eveyrone notcies - seriously if i wear blakc for eg i lok shite but in the colorus that suit me ig et laods mor compliments and its all abotu ME ME ME obv
  2. you are so fast in sales cos you dont buy colours that dont suit you therefore save ££
but i cans ee its not for everyone

if you get the original book. colour me beautiful by carole jackson, you can do it yourself. My family have been doing this since the early eighties. it is so brilliant. we can tell who is what at an instant now and you will never buy anything wrong again.

cosima · 07/02/2008 12:06

noddyholder, you are so naive!! but also you naturally are drawn to the colours that suit you. I bet there are some things in your wardrobe that you never wear cos someone else bought it or advised you.

bundle · 07/02/2008 12:07

cod?

Dropdeadfred · 07/02/2008 12:07
