Frequently Asked Color Questions:

  • What is the difference between "permanent color" and "semi-permanent color"..?

    Semi-permanent color is great for someone is starting to grey. This type of color stains the hair and gives a shiny gloss to the hair. Semi-permanent color last 4-to-6 weeks depending on hair growth and frequency of shampooing. This color is also great if you are just wanting to try a new color without being locked in to permenent color. This color will just fade off and there will not be a need to touchup if you do not want to stay with the color . Its a great way to to try some auburn tints or to warm of dull color.

    Permanent color is used for people who want to lighten or brighten their natural color.Unlike semi-perment color the color enters the hair shaft and permently alters natural color. Permanent color covers grey hair . It is a more solid color. Perment color requires touchups every 4 to 6 weeks. This color is great for the client with more than 30% grey.

    HIGHLIGHTING:

  • Should you get a "Cap highlight" or "Foil"..?

    The cap highlight is usually recomended for the client who likes small swispy sections of hair lightened. The cap is also great for short hair and men clients. It can give a very natural look, like you just spent a weekend at the beach. You can also get a more dramatic look by having heavier sections lightened.

    Foil highlights are great for long or short haired clients. You can weave small thin sections for a more natural look or thick chunky sections for a more bolder look. You can also get a demenional color by adding low lights or different colors. Usually 2 to 3 colors can be used.

    Highlighting using either technique can be used to blend greying color. One advantage to highlighting verses coloring, is touchups are every 2 to 3 months instead of every 4 to 6 weeks. This is based on hair growth and desired effect. Please call our salon and talk to one of our color specialists for any more information. Our number is 770-889-4247 or 770-889-Hair.
