The Vivid Hair Color Process
Going for a bold fashion color, or even a pastel, takes extra time. There are at least two color steps involved. First we have to remove the pigment out of your hair to create a clear canvas. We apply lightener all over the head and lift the hair until it's a pale color, like the inside of a banana peel. This will allow our pigments to look high def and true to hue. The we apply the color(s) using a variety of techniques.
Vivid Hair Color Care
Rocking a vivid color will take some extra care at home, especially if you want to maximize the life of your color before you need to either touch it up or start anew. Our color specialists will talk you through the best products to use to shampoo and condition your hair. They'll also advise you against anything that might dry your hair out - because dry hair doesn't hold on to color pigment as well as hydrated hair.
Love the idea but not quite ready to commit? Don't forget about fairy hair extensions. We can add pops of color to your hair with colored fashion strands or tinsel. Give color a try without a color service.
Is Vivid Hair Color Right For You?
Vivid colors create some of the most exciting transformations in the salon, but they also require commitment.
Most fashion colors require pre-lightening, regular maintenance, and professional home care to keep them looking vibrant. During your consultation, we'll discuss your color goals, current hair condition, and what will be required to achieve your desired result.
