Color Me Beautiful!

Who said you can’t have your cake and eat it too? It's not true. You CAN have fabulous hair color while maintaining healthy hair and achieving such can be easier than you think.

If you are thinking about changing your hair color, below are a few helpful tips you should know beforehand:

-Semi-permanent and demi-permanent dyes are for gradual/ slight color change or covering grays. They range from soft golden hues, rich auburns, deep plums, natural browns and soft blacks. These dyes last four to eight weeks and slowly wash out so roots appear gradually.

-Permanent dyes are for lightening, darkening or covering lots of gray. They don’t wash out, but they can become dull overtime. Color preserve shampoos and conditioners will slow the process of dulling. Routine root-touch-ups are necessary to maintain color intensity and cover new-growth.

-Highlights can be applied using different techniques, including: foiling which is best for concentrated areas of highlights and lowlights; color blocking is an awesome technique for bold color accents; and the frosting-cap technique, which is great for all-over highlights, will give the illusion of a full head of color.

-Don’t be fooled by the woman on the box of an over-the-counter dye; only a professional color chart can indicate how a color will look on you.

-Be sure to get routine deep conditioning treatments to maintain the health of your hair. Aqua Ice Salon’s European Deep Steam Conditioning Treatments are recommended for deep penetrating moisture that will lock into your tresses, preventing dryness and brittleness.

-Before whipping-out the color bottle, be sure to have the condition of your hair assessed by a salon professional to find out if your hair is ready for color.*

Our very pleased and radiant client, Becca (pictured top left), received the color-blocking technique at Aqua Ice Salon and Day Spa to achieve her gorgeous and dynamic hair color.

Here is what she said after her visit with us:

“After numerous salon visits, unsuccessful and damaging attempts to achieve the color that I always had in mind, I thought my ‘color vision’ was impossible until a friend referred me to Aqua Ice Salon and Day Spa, says Becca. “Without much knowledge of hair color, I was only able to vaguely tell my colorist what I had in mind, but she was able to guide me in the right direction. She recommended the best color for my skintone and the right technique to achieve the look that I always wanted. My hair has never looked so vibrant and felt so healthy.”
