What color should I dye my hair?

The best way to decide on what color to dye your hair would be to have a consultation with a stylist. It all depends on what look you are trying to achieve, whether you have gray hair that needs to be covered, and if you want to go to a lighter or darker color, or if you want to completely match your natural color.

What is demi permanent hair color?

Demi permanent is ammonia free color that only gets under the outer cuticle of the hair, and creates a coating of color. Unlike permanent, demi does not penetrate into the strand of hair, and gradually washes away. Demi-permanent color lasts 24 shampoos on average.

What is a hair glaze?

Want to refresh your existing color without making a major change? A customized glaze can refine your tone, enhance richness, and restore beautiful shine. A glaze is a sheer, demi-permanent color that coats the outside of the hair rather than changing it from within, so brassy blondes look softer, faded brunettes look rich again, and every shade gets a glossy, healthy-looking finish. Your stylist will custom-mix your glaze during your consultation.

How long does a glaze last?

A glaze fades gradually rather than growing out, so there’s no line of regrowth. Like other demi-permanent color, it lasts about 24 shampoos on average, depending on how often you wash your hair.

Is a glaze gentle on my hair?

Yes. Glazes are ammonia-free and sit on the outside of the hair, so they add shine and softness without lightening your natural color.

How can I make my glaze last longer?

Wash with a sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo, use cooler water, and try to shampoo a little less often. Your stylist can recommend the right products to take home.

How soon can I recolor my hair if I don’t like the color?

There are different ways to recolor hair. If your hair is a tone that you don’t like, it is possible for your stylist to fix your formula immediately. If your hair is too dark, it is usually best to wait  2 – 3 weeks until you have some regrowth, or until you have given the color a chance to fade or lighten up.

Men’s color blending starts at $67. There may be additional charges for extra color if your hair requires more of it.

What are hot roots when coloring hair?

Hot roots is when your roots are appearing warmer, or lighter than the rest of your hair. This can happen due to your own body heat and if your roots respond faster to the color than your mid-shaft and ends. It can also happen if you are coloring your hair a lighter shade, but your ends are previously colored and your roots are not.

Should hair be dirty when coloring?

It’s actually better to have fairly clean hair when coloring since there will be less buildup to prevent the color from being fully saturated. The cleanliness of your hair does not usually affect color results greatly.
