CUSTOM COLOR
All NEW COLOR CLIENTS and EXISTING CLIENTS SEEKING A COLOR CHANGE are REQUIRED to complete our NEW CLIENT/COLOR FORM prior to their appointment.***
CUSTOM COLOR:
Our Custom Color service offers Partial, Half Head, and Full Head options, each with a base price that covers the estimated time needed for the stylist to achieve your desired hair color. Additional time, if required, will be billed at the stylist’s hourly rate.
LOWLIGHTS
Lowlighting involves *only a deposit of hair color, normally something darker [at least 2 shades darker than one’s existing hair color] to break up demarcation lines from previous highlights, to create depth in the hair, or to add another color to create a multi-dimensional over all look.
HIGHLIGHTS
Price is based on normal, healthy canvas who’s starting natural hair color is dark blonde or lighter or for those with natural dark hair that want warm tone sun-kissed highlights such as caramel or honey. (Price/Timing stated is for 1 application only, includes a Detailed Glaze, Blow Dry/Style). Additional time, if required, will be billed at the stylist’s hourly rate.
Natural dark hair, previously colored, multi-colored canvas with previous highlights involves more difficult process and is considered BLONDING PROJECT. We recommend booking a consultation if you are unsure of the services.
BALAYAGE
Balayage is a hand painting technique where lightener is painted onto the hair to create a soft, natural-looking sun-kissed highlight effect. It is often the desired technique if the client only wants to lighten their hair a few shades lighter. It is not a good technique for those who wants to lighten their hair drastically and it is especially not recommended for those who have dark hair and want to achieve the lightest blonde.
OMBRE
Ombre means a gradation in color, usually in shades from dark to light or even more interesting, from light to dark. There is no one way to get this look. In fact there is a myriad of ombre inspirations out there that can be hard to fathom. Different techniques can be used to achieve different ombre looks.

Full Highlights and or balayage give the hair the most change providing full coverage yet still leave room for the guest’s natural hair color to shine through. Trends these days require clients to do a full head service to create an overall lightness in hair color. Clients who also come in requesting a balayage may actually need a foiliage [balayage painting technique in foils to create maximum lift from heat in enclosed space] to achieve the desired look. This is when a full highlight is needed. FULL HEAD HIGHLIGHTS/BALAYAGE is necessary for a virgin canvas.

This is also great for people who want to break up the strong demarcation line from a solid color allowing the hair to grow out more softly without having to come as often in between appointments for touch ups.
