BALAYAGE

Balayage is a popular freehand coloring technique that involves painting hair dye directly onto designated sections of hair.  It creates seamless blends of varying tonal reflections throughout the lengths of the hair, either in combination with your natural hair color or ‘built into’ an all-over colored base.

Results can vary from subtle to bold, whether a natural sun-kissed effect or a strong dipped ends fashion accessory. It’s your choice. Commitment level is low, as Balayage does not focus on the roots of the hair.

Service time: Approx. 1 hour 30 mins+ *

Great for: Creating a strong contrast between the roots and tips of the hair, accentuating your hair shape.

*Service time can vary depending on the length/density of hair and the stylist’s timing needs.

Single Process Color

A single process color is a hair coloring technique that focuses on applying color to the new growth of hair at the roots. This process helps to blend the roots with the rest of the hair, ensuring a seamless transition between the natural hair color and the previously colored hair.
 
The main purpose of a single process color is to maintain a consistent, uniform color from root to tip, which makes it appear as if your hair has not grown out since the initial coloring.  A proper single process color routine can also help minimize damage caused by excessive coloring, allowing you to enjoy your beautiful hair color without compromising your hair’s health.

Service time: Approx. 1 hour

Great for: Great for: Maintaining a consistent, uniform color from root to tip, which makes it appear as if your hair has not grown out since the initial coloring.

*Service time can vary depending on the length/density of hair and the stylist’s timing needs.

Double Process Color

A double process color is used to achieve the highest level of blonde either through scalp to end lightener or a heavy foil technique known as Platinum Card.

The first step involves lifting the natural or existing pigment from the hair using a lightener (bleach). This process opens the hair cuticle and removes melanin, the pigment that gives hair its color. The level of lift achieved depends on the desired final result and the client’s starting hair color.  
After the hair is lifted to the desired level (usually a pale yellow or near-white for very light shades), a toner is applied. This second process deposits the desired final shade, neutralizing any unwanted undertones (like brassiness) and creating the targeted color.
 

Service time: Approx. 1 hour 30 mins

Great for: Beneficial for those who want to extend the time between full hair coloring appointments or for those who have hair highlights.

*Service time can vary depending on the length/density of hair and the stylist’s timing needs.

FOILS

Foils, also known as highlights, are a hair coloring technique that involves sectioning off strands of hair and applying color to those sections using small, rectangular pieces of foil to separate the colored sections from the rest of the hair. This technique adds dimension, depth, and texture to the hair by creating lightened strands that contrast with the base color.

Partial Foil:  Partial foil, also known as half-head foil or partial highlights, involve coloring from the crown of the head and framing the face.

 

Full Foil: Full foil, also known as full head foil or full highlights, involves highlighting and coloring evenly throughout from the top of the head to the nape of the neck.

Service time: : Approx. 1 hour (Partial)   2 hours (Full)

Great for: Partial Foils are best for those who want a more subtle, natural-looking effect or for those who want to add dimension and depth to their hair without committing to an all-over color change.

*Service time can vary depending on the length/density of hair and the stylist’s timing needs.

FASHION COLOR

Fashion hair color refers to bold and unconventional shades that go beyond traditional hair colors like blonde, brunette, or red. These fashion colors are intended to make a statement and stand out from the crowd. Some examples of fashion hair colors include electric blue, neon pink, emerald green, and more.
 
Fashion hair color isn’t just about the vibrant shades themselves; it’s also about how they are applied. Creative techniques like color melting, balayage with vivid tones, or intricate patterns can create unique and eye-catching looks.

Service time: ** Requires a Consultation **

Great for: This is an excellent choice for those who want to break away from traditional hair colors and express their creativity and individuality.

*Service time can vary depending on the length/density of hair and the stylist’s timing needs.

SHINE ENHANCEMENT

Shine enhancement, also known as Hair Glossing, is a treatment that boosts the hair’s natural shine and vibrancy.

This is typically an add-on service that prolongs and enhances your hair color. Clear glosses boost shine and definition, while color glosses refresh color-treated hair and combat dullness or brassiness.

Shine enhancement treatments are suitable for all hair types, but they can be especially beneficial for color-treated hair or those looking to combat dullness or brassy tones.

Service time: Approx. 30 mins

Great for: Boosting the hair’s natural shine and vibrancy.

FACE FRAMING

Face framing refers to strategically placing individual highlights around the face to create a flattering and illuminating effect. Face framing is also a foiling version with less commitment than a partial or complete foil.

For example, placing lighter shades of color around the face can brighten up the complexion and add dimension to the overall hair color. This technique is particularly effective for those with darker hair who want to add warmth and depth to their look.

Service time: 60 mins

Great for: Bringing attention to the features of the face and complementing the overall hair color.

*Service time can vary depending on the length/density of hair and the stylist’s timing needs.

CORRECTIVE COLOR

Corrective color refers to fixing hair color mistakes, correcting damaged hair, or addressing color issues built up over time.

Common reasons for needing corrective color include:

  • Over-coloring or over-processing hair
  • Mishaps with at-home color, such as using the wrong color or leaving the color on for too long
  • A new color is not turning out as expected
  • Uneven fading of a hair color
  • Damage from bleach or other harsh chemicals

The corrective color process often requires multiple steps and may take several visits to a professional stylist.

Service time: ** Requires a Consultation **

Great for: Restoring hair to a healthy, vibrant state.

*Service time can vary depending on the length/density of hair and the stylist’s timing needs.
