Ordering
What should I expect after I order?
What should I expect after I order?
After your order is complete, you'll receive a confirmation email. We'll ship you a colorimeter with instructions on how to use it right away. When you get it in the mail, you'll load the app on your phone, take color measurements of your hair and skin, and send them back to us. Once we get them, we can start work on your personalized color guide. Expect to see it in your email within 72 hours. The colorimeter is yours to keep!
Can I order for someone else?
Can I order for someone else?
Sure! If you're purchasing a color guide as a gift, we can start the process by sending you a colorimeter for wrapping. From there, the lucky recipient can just let us know the order number and new email address to associate with the order. We'll create the color guide and send it to them when it's ready. Or you can purchase a gift certificate instead.
