I discovered this interesting software designed by a young Russian photographer who thought, why not put a grid of a chart of the gamut of a color space and simple be able to attach nodes on the grid relating to a picture and smoothly shift the hues and saturation at will in any combination might wish for.
So one can lock in say the skin tone and then select a beard and increase the saturation of hue as one desires.
I have not done more than spend 5 minutes, but I can shift the hues to the red and protect the skin somewhat. I am sure I can do much better after I RTFM, LOL!
Here is the interface and one form of presentation of the editing window.
LUT Creator: Gamut with grid editing window
The shift nodes represent areas of the beard to enrich and colors of the face to recover from spill. The program allows the face colors to be fixed, but that is my next read!

Adjusted with LUT Creator Trial Version
This is merely to demonstrate that new tools are available to us and this one seems worth investigating. It's about $400 or so, but potentially is a very powerful tool. I need to invest some time to discover how practical it is in delivering its promises.
Download the trial version and the manual here.
