Consultation

  • Purpose: We start by understanding what you want to achieve with your hair color. This includes discussing your preferred shade, maintenance level, and any specific concerns.
  • Discussion: We’ll talk about your hair’s history, including any previous coloring, treatments, or issues.
  • Assessment: We’ll evaluate your hair’s current color, condition, and texture to recommend the best options for you.

Preparation

  • Strand Test: We might perform a strand test to see how your hair reacts to the color.
  • Protective Measures: We’ll apply a barrier cream around your hairline to prevent staining and provide a protective cape to keep your clothes clean.
  • Sectioning: Your hair will be divided into sections to ensure even color application.

Color Application

  • Choosing the Color: Based on our consultation, we’ll mix the perfect color for you.
  • Application Techniques:
    • All-Over Color: For a uniform color from roots to ends.
    • Highlights/Lowlights: Adding lighter or darker strands to create depth and dimension.
    • Balayage/Ombre: Hand-painted techniques for a more natural, sun-kissed look.
    • Root Touch-Up: Covering regrowth to match the existing color.
  • Processing Time: We’ll let the color process for a specific time to achieve the desired result, checking periodically to ensure even development.

Rinsing and Conditioning

  • Shampooing: A color-safe shampoo will be used to cleanse your hair.
  • Conditioning: We’ll apply a deep conditioner to hydrate and nourish your hair, ensuring it remains healthy and shiny.
