At Custom Hair Company, we know that the right hair colour can completely change how you look, and how you feel. Finding your perfect shade can boost your confidence and make you feel more authentic.
Whether you’re choosing your very first human hair wig or refreshing your current style, discovering your ideal shade is an exciting step toward feeling your best. From soft, natural tones to bold, fashion-forward hues, colour is where your personality truly shines through.
Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment
Colour is one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to reinvent your look. If you’ve found a wig style that you love, why not explore it in a different shade? Most people can wear up to three shades lighter or darker than their natural hair colour, and even subtle changes can make a big difference.
You might also like to update your look with the seasons, it’s a simple way to keep things fresh. Go lighter in spring and summer with sun-kissed blondes or soft caramels, then transition into deeper, richer shades like espresso, chestnut, or mahogany during autumn and winter.
And if you’ve always been curious about trying something completely new, maybe that warm copper red or icy platinum blonde, now’s your chance. One of the best things about human hair wigs is the freedom to experiment without the commitment of chemical colouring or damage.
At Custom Hair Company, we're specialists in wigs New Zealand trusts. We don’t just sell human hair wigs, we personalise them. Every wig can be professionally coloured and toned on site by our experienced hair stylists to suit your unique complexion, preferences, and personality.
Rather than offering a “one-size-fits-all” selection, we tailor each colour so it looks natural, flattering, and unmistakably you.
Our base colour range provides the perfect starting point, featuring beautifully crafted tones that can be blended, brightened, or softened to achieve your ideal shade. Whether you’re looking for a subtle, natural tone or a complete transformation, our stylists use salon-quality colouring techniques to create a bespoke result.
We can create:
Each wig begins with premium 100% human hair, giving our stylists the flexibility to tone, gloss, or recolour it just like natural hair. This ensures your finished piece perfectly complements your skin tone, eye colour, and personal style.
If you’re unsure where to start, our friendly Colour Consultants and in-house stylists are always here to guide you through the options. We’ll help you compare tones, discuss your goals, and create a customised colour that feels completely natural and uniquely yours.
A well-chosen hair colour should enhance your natural features and complement your skin tone. Here are some general tips to help guide your decision:
You’ll shine in cool tones like ash blonde, platinum, or deep black. If you prefer warmth, balance it with soft beige or icy caramel highlights.
Cool, ash-based blondes or light browns help neutralise redness and create a smooth, balanced look.
Rich, warm shades like honey, copper, or chestnut enhance your natural glow beautifully.
Warm, deeper hues such as espresso, chocolate, auburn, or dark chestnut add radiance and depth. Subtle highlights can also bring extra movement and light.
The beauty of our human hair wigs from Custom Hair Company is that each one can be fully customised for you. Because our wigs are made from 100% real human hair, they can be coloured, toned, glossed, and styled just like your own.
That means you can adjust the shade, highlights, or overall tone until it’s a perfect match for your complexion and style.
If you find a base colour you like but want slight adjustments, our in-house hair stylists can tailor it to perfection. Whether you’d like a softer face-framing tone, more dimension through the ends, or a deeper, richer overall shade, we’ll fine-tune every detail right here in our Hamilton studio.
Choosing the right colour doesn’t need to feel overwhelming. Our team makes the process simple, supportive, and enjoyable:
Every wig begins with a premium base shade, which is the natural underlying colour of the hair before any custom work is added. Base shades typically sit within natural families such as blonde, light brown, medium brown, dark brown, black, or grey.
For example, a light brown base may be customised with caramel highlights for warmth, softened with beige tones, or cooled down with ash toning. Starting with the right base shade allows us to build a colour that looks realistic, dimensional, and beautifully balanced.
Undertones are the subtle warmth or coolness within a colour, and they play a huge role in how flattering a shade looks on you.
Your eye colour and even your wardrobe can help guide this too, for example, if you love wearing warm earthy tones, a warmer hair shade often feels more harmonious overall.
Our expert Colour Consultants and in-house stylists will guide you through the process using real hair samples. We’ll talk through your current or desired colour, lifestyle, and confidence goals, then create a personalised colour plan that feels natural and wearable, never harsh or artificial.
Because all colouring and styling is done on site at Custom Hair Company, we can make real-time adjustments. Whether that’s softening the tone, adding depth, or fine-tuning warmth or brightness, we’ll continue refining your colour until you feel completely comfortable and confident.
At Custom Hair Company, we want you to feel confident, comfortable, and beautiful in your new look. The right colour doesn’t just complement your features, it lifts your mood, enhances your confidence, and lets your personality shine.
So whether you’re staying close to your natural shade or stepping boldly into something new, we’ll help you find, or create, your perfect colour match from our stunning collection of human hair wigs at Custom Hair Company.
