HOW DO I ASK FOR WHICH SERVICE I WANT?

The names may change and sound more sophisticated, which is great for us looking to feel a little luxe — but don’t be confused!

The best way to explain to your stylist what you want is by showing them an inspiration picture.

The problem with using trendy terms is that everyone may imagine them a little differently. That’s why your best bet is bringing a reference image that your stylist can use for inspiration anytime they’d like while working on your hair.

Also, is there something you really love about that picture? Be sure to mention it! The same goes if there is an element of the color that you don’t like — bring that up as well. The more information you give, the more everyone can be on the same page.

In doubt about what you’d like to book? We offer complimentary in-salon consultations.

Additionally, you can always call, text, or email us with any questions. A member of our reception team will be happy to assist and direct you towards what service is best to schedule.

Booking an appointment for the wrong service can result in an appointment that isn’t enough time to accomplish your desired look, or booking too much time out of our stylists’ busy schedules. Please ensure that you’re scheduling the correct service before finalizing your appointment.

Single Process

Single processing is when a stylist uses only one hair color, no bleach, to create a desired look. This is best for those who are looking to cover up gray hairs, slightly lighten their hair, or go darker.

Double Process

A technique used by stylists to lighten and tone hair color. During this process, a stylist will use bleach to lift the hair's natural pigment, and then use a separate color to tone the hair to the desired shade. For those looking for bold, bright coloring (i.e. platinum blondes), this is the way to go.

Highlights

Highlighting is a hair color process that uses foils to brighten certain section of your hair. It's a way to create different hair colors that blend together naturally. The stylist uses foil during this technique as the materials works as a heat conductor to help quicken the coloring process without further damaging the hair. Lighter colors can be achieved by using foils vs cellophane. "Babylights" is a technique that uses very fine strokes of color usually around the hair line and top of the head to give your hair a bit more dimension. When booking an appointment please specify if you would like a partial, half, or full as explained below:

Partial Head Highlight

Face-framing highlights along the area where you part your hair. Also referred to as a “money piece.”

Half Head Highlight

Highlights along the front and crown of your head.

Full Head Highlight

Highlights throughout your entire hair including the back and underneath.

Balayage

Balayage (pronounced bah-lee-AHZGE) is a French word meaning to sweep or paint. This is a technique a stylist uses to highlight your hair, and can be used to achieve many different looks. With balayage, also known as hair painting, the lightener or hair color is painted on in such a way as to create a graduated, natural-looking effect from end to root and is all about creating beautiful blends of multi-dimensional color that grows in subtly. Sometimes a stylist will use cellophanes, foils or mesh strips to separate the sections from bleeding on each other. That part doesn’t matter — it’s still called balayaging. Every stylist has their own unique method to get the job done.

We book our Balayage as Half or Full Head services. Please refer to the Highlight section above for clarification.

Color Correction

If you have previously colored hair and would like to go lighter or dramatically different, this qualifies as a color correction, which is charged hourly. This includes at home box color or permanent color. These appointments always require an in salon consultation, no exceptions. Color corrections are rarely completed in one salon visit; generally requiring multiple sessions to achieve the desired result in order to preserve the health and integrity of your hair. We are happy to assist in your hair journey if you are willing to come back for several appointments over the course of a few weeks.

Keratin and TrueKeratin

If you’re looking for a treatment to smooth, strengthen, and repair your hair, our Keratin treatments are a wonderful option. While we still offer traditional keratin, we now carry TrueKeratin- a low formaldehyde alternative. TrueKeratin is an eco-conscious product made with certified organic, locally sourced ingredients.

K18

An add on treatment to a haircut or color service, K18 can help repair damage caused by bleaching, chemical services, and heat. The product works by reconnecting broken polypeptide chains and disulfide bonds to renew strength and elasticity, resulting in strong, smooth, bouncy hair.

*If additional tubes of color are used, including unnatural colors, or extra time is added to your service you will be charged according. Please check with your stylist before you begin to get a final price. Note: this will not be possible for any services "charged by the hour" *
