What the best way to cover grey hair?
«That depends on the look and grey hair coverage you want, but the good news is that there are several ways to conceal grey hair. Heredity will determine when those grey hairs start to creep in. The hair color specialists at Colour Me Beautiful Salon in Albuquerque have helped women – and men – of all ages camouflage grey hair by adding all over hair color, by lightening hair, or by adding a combination of highlights and lowlights.
What’s the difference between balayage and foil highlights?
«Balayage is a hand-painted highlighting technique that creates a softer, more natural, sun-kissed look with less noticeable regrowth. Foil highlights offer more contrast and precision and are ideal if you want a brighter, more structured result.
What are balayage and ombré?
«Balayage is a technique where the color is painted on to create a natural, sun-kissed effect, typically focusing on the ends and mid-lengths of the hair. Ombré, on the other hand, is a style where the hair gradually transitions from a darker shade at the roots to a lighter shade creating a more dramatic look.
How often should I color my hair to maintain the look?
«It depends on the type of color service and how fast your hair grows. For root touch-ups or grey coverage, we recommend every 4–6 weeks. For balayage or root melt services, many clients can go 8–12 weeks between appointments with proper at-home care and occasional gloss treatments.
What is toner and why is it used after bleaching?
«Toner is a demi-permanent color used to adjust or enhance the tone of bleached or highlighted hair. It helps neutralize unwanted undertones like yellow or orange and creates the final shade—whether that’s icy blonde, silver, beige, or ash.
Will hair color damage my hair?
«When done professionally, hair color doesn’t have to damage your hair. At Colour Me Beautiful, we prioritize hair health and use high-quality, conditioning color lines and treatments like Milbon to restore moisture and strength. We also avoid harsh chemical services like Brazilian Blowouts for this reason.
Can I go from dark brown to blonde in one session?
«Going from dark to light is usually a multi-step process, especially if your hair has been previously colored. While it’s possible to make a dramatic change, we’ll typically lighten your hair gradually over multiple sessions to protect its integrity and prevent breakage.
Can I color my hair while pregnant?
«Many women safely color their hair during pregnancy, especially after the first trimester. We recommend consulting your doctor and choosing ammonia-free or low-odor products. We’re happy to discuss gentler color options if you're expecting.
Should I wash my hair before my color appointment?
«Avoid washing your hair the day of your appointment—natural oils help protect your scalp. Bring inspiration photos if you have a specific look in mind, and let your stylist know about any past chemical services or allergies.
Can I color my hair after giving birth? Should I let my stylist know I’m postpartum?
«Yes, it’s usually safe to color your hair postpartum, but hormones, stress, and changes in body chemistry after childbirth can sometimes affect how your hair reacts to color. For example, some women experience increased shedding, oiliness, or dryness, and these changes may impact how the color takes or how long it lasts.
We always recommend telling your stylist if you’ve recently given birth or are breastfeeding. This helps us tailor the service to your current hair condition and choose the most gentle, effective products—especially if you're concerned about sensitivity or are avoiding strong chemicals.
