Hair ColOR Salon Benefits

• ​​One size does NOT fit all.

Using that box with the picture on the front is not the best solution because the color is made so that it can alter a wide range of hair types and shades, thereby not providing consistent results. Each person's hair is different, no two heads are the same. 

• Hair Color must be customized to each person. 

A Salon Pro will usually use several different pigments, varying developer volumes and even different chemical makeups within the same strand to achieve the desired effect.

• Is there a difference between Demi, Semi and Permanent Hair Color (ammonia or ammonia free)?

It is important to realize that no color washes out of the hair completely! How long colors lasts depends on the condition and porosity of the hair. “Washes out in 6 to 8 weeks”? Hardly ever! Each of these chemistries varies greatly and each has its own factors for successful applications and results. Want to get a brief chemistry lesson on hair color? Watch the video below. 

• It’s all in the application.

Let’s say you conquer the 10 different variables you need to accomplish the correct formulation, now you have to execute the application. In order to keep your hair healthy and avoid banding, color must be applied precisely from the regrowth to the line of demarcation. It is not easy in a poorly lit bathroom, leaning over a sink, while using a bottle or brush.

• Your hair will feel like straw with home hair color.

It’s not only the banding that occurs with DYI color, but the over lapping of color over color that eventually punishes the hair. The reason your hair feels dry is because it’s traveling further and further down the porosity scale.

• And the real benefits of a salon hair color treatment vs DYI include:

The professional colorist expertise which includes training, education, and daily experience. They are knowledgeable about his best to add highlights or lowlights without frying your hair or applying the strands unevenly. They do the whole head including the back of the head which for the DYIer isn't easy—you practically have to be a contortionist to get this right! Plus, in most cases, if you have it done at a salon and you're not happy with the results, they'll fix any problems for you at no extra cost.

Hair Extensions

There are many methods of applying hair extensions. Each method has its own specific set of advantages. Your individual needs will determine the best method of application, the amount of extensions needed and the cost of the service. For example, it is possible to have a partial head of extensions if one desires volume, density and or hair color change. For those wanting this and length, a full head is required.

Waxing

• Will anyone see me getting waxed?

All waxing is conducted in our private rooms. Our technicians take great care in maintaining your privacy.

Sometimes taking painkillers one hour before treatment will help you relax through the treatment.  Avoid waxing just before your period and when you're hung-over as you can be more sensitive to pain.

• Trim Before Waxing? YES

The longer the hairs, the more painful the pull!

• So, how long should the hair be, before waxing?

If you've recently shaved, let the hair grow for about two weeks beforehand. In general, it should be around 2mm long so the wax can grip it.

• How can you avoid and treat in-growing hairs?

​Regularly exfoliate and moisturize the skin to encourage hairs to grow through properly. It helps to use a good quality post waxing treatment.
