I took my own approach to colour and light here and I'm most interested in comments on the colour, followed by the light. (I played with the lighting ratio in processing as there weren't enough lights handy to get what I wanted, gotta love modern cameras where you can just fix these things later. It's had no local edits.)
Her hair isn't quite that rich a colour in reality, it had a little help, not a lot, but some (just globally). Her face and lips are also also paler in "real life" and benefited (I hope, I'm asking) through the same change to try to get the look I wanted. The background also had a bit more grey in it originally. (I like to think this could have been achieved with tweaking the lighting, but that would have been a big diversion from getting shots I could tweak later.)
In some ways I'm asking about the way a lot of people work very hard to get skin tones perfectly accurate. I went for the skin tones (especially the lips) and hair colour the way I wanted them, which are different to reality by a modest amount. I did wonder if it was just me and people would hate it...
