Decades ago, hair coloring techniques were time intensive and not very precise when it came to the final results. Strawberry blonde sometimes seemed red. But, those days are now over!
Current hair coloring techniques are not just predictable, they can provide a unique dimension to your hairstyle — affecting even the natural movement of your hair. Highlights, lowlights, Balayage …all can revitalize your face if done properly. At our hair salon on Clarendon Boulevard, all of our hair coloring stylists are highly skilled experts in every one of these techniques and can help you achieve the appearance you desire.
HAIR COLORING TECHNIQUES TO CONSIDER
Single Process Color: An exciting new color is applied to the roots or to the entire head to create a fresh new base color. The hair is actually lifted and deposited in a single easy step. This is our most popular hair salon service and it is terrific for covering grays along with adding shininess to flat hair.
Foil Highlights: Whether it’s a full or partial head, this weaving technique uses foils to brighten, lighten, and add shine to your hair. The most widely used highlights are shades of gold, amber, blonde, honey, and reds.
Balayage Highlights: Meaning “to sweep” or “to paint” in French, Balayage highlights give a sun-kissed natural look to your hair color. It provides softer, less obvious regrowth lines. The primary concept essentially is the “less is more” when producing soft, natural looks.
Ombré: The world of hair coloring borrowed the expression ‘Ombré’ from the French word meaning shaded or shading. Ombré hair coloring is frequently darker at the roots extending to the mid-shaft and blending gradually to lighter tones from the mid-shaft to the ends. It is typically done with a Balayage technique which is perfect for clients seeking a lower-maintenance style. Using the Balayage technique to create an Ombré implies that instead of a harsh dark-to-light, it’s a more subtle fashionable type of Ombré.
Lowlights: Achieved through the use of color rather than a lightener, lowlights deliver the perception of depth to your hair color. Lowlights combine darker tones interchanged with natural highlights, enhancing the dimension of hair color that appears dull. For lighter hair tones, consider trying a multidimensional blend of honey, gold, and butter. This combination produces color that looks natural – not bleached-out or over-processed. Lowlights can also be applied to subtly reduce the visibility of grays without having to change your complete appearance.
Creative Color or “Fashion Coloring”: Do you desire a statement-making hair color?! Whether you are seeking peek-a-boo strands or a Technicolor masterpiece, fashion shades may initially require lift for a controlled base. This specific service requires consultation before the service date.
Glossing: The hair coloring technique that brightens your hair color is known as Glossing. Applying a “glaze” with a richer tone over your permanent shade adds radiance to your hair.
