Tell us your concerns and we'll make suggestions and go over the different options for hair color and their benefits.

YOUR GUIDE TO ALL THE HAIR COLOR LINGO

Single Process Color - One Hair Color All Over

Single process can mean a few things. A single process hair color service is one that can be processed in one step. A single development time, a single shampoo.  An example of a single process color is all over color...one shade applied all over, covering the entire head. There are three levels of single process color: semi-permanent, demi-permanent, and permanent, each vary in strength and in how long they last. This process changes the color of your entire head of hair, giving you a new, one-dimensional tone.

Gloss Color

A gloss service is a single process color but you get a two in one benefit. Using a demi-permanent color, color is applied all over the head with added shine and softness. So if you come in for a haircut in between your big color services, consider adding a gloss service to give your color a refresh. A demi-permanent gloss service is also a nice option for those who like dramatic color changes. If you go red during the winter and plan on lightening up in the spring, a demi-permanent color is easier for us to lift off later.

Double Process Color - 2 Step Hair Color

By contrast, a double process hair color service requires multiple steps. It's almost like getting two different services in one visit. The first step is applied, processed, and rinsed before the next process can begin.

Examples of a double process hair color:

  • All over color + foil highlights.  This service updates your overall base color before highlights are added.
  • Bleach + Tone.  This service lightens your entire head first, then a toner is applied to neutralize any harsh or brassy tones.

Grey Hair Coverage

Covering resistant grey hairs is a job best left to a skilled hair colorist. They can quickly get rid of unwanted white or grey hair with the correct formulation and a precision application. Your hair stylist can assess how your color varies around your head and make adjustments. This will assure there is no overlapping of color – often the result of using box hair dye - only beautiful healthy, shiny looking hair!

Root Touch Up - Cover New Growth

To avoid a color difference between your roots and the rest of your hair, it is important that you book a root touch up appointment at regular intervals. A root touch up service is designed to cover new growth and grey hair with single color applied to the roots.

Root Melt Hair Color

There are few names for this look.  A rooted look, shadow root, root pull, or root smudge. As the name implies, it's all about the roots. This look is not the same as a root touch up. In fact, a root melt emphasizes the roots. After getting blonde highlights, some clients like to have a blended effect at the top of the head. They don't like the ribbon effect that foil highlights can reveal on some hair. A root melt service involves a demi or semi permanent hair color applied at the roots and pulled down a few inches. The rooted look gives you a lived-in hair color.

Kristin is the first hair dresser that I have gone to more than once. She knew what I wanted even though I didn’t know how to express my desire. Every time I’ve gone for coloring I have been extremely happy. In addition, I’m in and out of there within 1 1/2 hours. Aside from that, she has a very natural easy going nature that makes you want to become friends. She really rocks. The salon is neat as a pin, and the prices are more than reasonable.

«

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.
