A good colorist can work wonders, but a part of getting the shade you want at the salon is preparing in advance.
Wash the night before. Your hair shouldn't be freshly shampooed--it will be too silky to section off properly for highlights. Plus, a little bit of oil protects the hair. (The night before getting any color t...hat requires bleach, use a deep conditioner to help minimize damage.)
However, I wouldn't go to the salon with dirty hair; the colorist won't be able to get an accurate sense of your base color.
Be yourself. Wear the makeup you normally wear; it will help your colorist know how the highlights will play off your usual look. I also suggest wearing your hair as you typically would--wavy, straight, or in a ponytail. You see fewer highlights in curly hair, so I would want to know that so I could add more color.
Bring pictures. It's always a good idea to bring photos of what you want (and even images of the color you don't want) to show the colorist how you define "copper" or "honey." And don't go more than five shades from your natural color unless you can come in every four to six weeks to maintain it.
