How Hair Color Transforms Us

The right color is nothing less than transformative. It complements your eye color and skin undertones. It elevates your style. Best of all, it's a way to showcase your personality the bright, vibrant way of moving through the world that's so uniquely you. Many guests feel transformed after hair color. It's a simple service, but powerful one that often wakes our sleeping younger, brighter, “true” self.

Many people are afraid of color because of the commitment, but the right lightening technique such as a beautifully executed balayage can be surprisingly low-maintenance.

The Art and Science of Hair Color

Hair color is a major part of helping people find their most “beautiful you” which starts with mastering techniques. Color is an art form and a science. The best colorists understand the importance of continuous training on the newest methods, and may even be certified Master Colorists.

From the most classic techniques to the latest trends, like balayage, ombre, creative coloring, and beautiful grays, the best colorists understand the science of color. Guests should be able to bring in photos (usually of celebrities) and the best colorists can help them pull off the look customized for their skin tone and hair type. Further value is added by colorists who bring years of knowledge and ability to their color.

The Best ColoristsMake Sure You Love It

The key is personalization there should never be one-size-fits-all color. Guests should leave the salon looking and feeling beautiful, and their color should always work for their day-to-day life. Before service even begins, colorists should do an in-depth consultation, discussed with you what your goals are and recommend the best techniques to achieve them. This consultation should go beyond the current appointment. A maintenance plan should be developed and tailored to your lifestyle and budget, so you know what to expect with re-growth and which high-quality brands will preserve your color (ammonia-free color or color for sensitivity challenges should be discussed at this time as well). You should love your color, until you're ready for a seasonal change.

Color by the right stylist is an experience. Some salons also offer complimentary makeup touch-up, so you can try out shades to complement your new hue, pulling your look together. This way you can walk out of the salon with a look that pops, and you'll feel like your best self has been revealed.
