Let’s take what you have and spice it up with some balayage or lowlights giving your hair some dimension and interest. Being a hair colorist gives so much satisfaction to change or transform a client’s hair. If you don’t want to permanently change the hair color, we can give you options by utilizing hair extensions to provide length, volume and thickness with as many colors as you would love to add. We can even add balayage or ombre’ colors to give an intensity to the color without the commitment.

What’s it going to take to get you to change it up?

Why don’t you take a few minutes to come into the salon for a consultation? We already know hair color but it might be great for you to see yourself in some new shades that bring excitement. Your skin color will look better. let’s add a new lips shade by Glo Minerals. We can give you a new haircut that will make your new red hair color sing!

If you don’t want red hair color, then you might want to read another blog post because this one is all about red hair color. Take a look at the picture to the right. This is an example of a client that wanted brighter copper red with some cooler tones.

Hair extensions were used to give length plus tonal change. These red hair extensions last about 4 – 5 months with the correct hair care management.

No matter if you want Terra Cotta hair color, Auburn red hair color, chestnut brown with red highlights, strawberry red hair color, we can make it happen. If you choose to rock out the hair with rainbow red mixed with pink, we can do it!

Time that is needed to remove old pigment is needed when you come in with old box color or from “another” salon. I found that removing the old color will give a better foundation for the new tones that we will be putting in your hair. We have this really cool color pigment remover that only removes the artificial pigment but doesn’t affect the natural hair color.

This process does take 45 minutes regardless of what we do to your hair, it’s all in the preparation. Sometimes, I get the client that says, “I’ve been here for 5 hours….” I respond with, “yes, you have but that is what it takes when we remove color, shampoo, the we have to condition it with the correct protein enriched color or filling the color with the missing pigment.” So when you are in the salon that long, know that good things take lots of time and lots of knowledge to get you the result that you are looking for.

I coach my team that we never rush the progress. You as a client need to prepare with expectations. No rushing, no pressure on the stylists because we may be working with other clients while you are processing but it doesn’t mean you are any less important. Clearly, we have a difficult job to do.

Our relationships with our clients are very important. This is why we let you know what we are doing every step of the way. We may have an assistant cleanse a few times, or another stylist may be applying color in certain areas. We do what it takes to care for your hair.

How do I make my red hair stay longer?

Unfortunately, red hair color is tough to keep in according to the FDA. The red dye is regulated in the United States. Mostly RED DYE #7 is questionable. The United States has gotten more creative with their dyes. There are only so many dyes that are used in hair color especially red hair color dye.

Over the years with advanced private training under my belt, I’ve learned that no matter which color is used in the red hair color zone, you will need to visit the salon within 2 – 3 weeks from the initial hair color application. Then we keep submitting the red glossy tones to keep the pigment in the hair. All I can say is that it’s totally worth the effort in the beginning for a long term result.

We have some color pigments that will stay what seems like FOREVER! Then when you want to try something new it won’t leave like a bad boyfriend. We do everything we can to remove the old red pigment so be 100% sure that you want red hair color because we will make it happen for you.

What if I get tired of my red hair color?

Good question. As I said in the previous comments be sure of which red hair color that you want. What if you decided that red is not for you? Whether it’s box color, salon color, it can be removed with a product that actually will lighten the pigment out of the hair. Depending on the health of the hair, this process may take multiple appointments. Red color that is lightening can get stuck in the orange stage which isn’t pretty. If this happens, we have to change the color to deposit to either enhance or neutralize the color for the time being.

As the hair starts lightening, the hair will go through layers of lightening like red orange, orange, yellow and depending on how light you want the hair it may decide to not lighten anymore than it can withstand. We will only lighten as long as the hair will keep it’s integrity.

Best products to use on red hair color.

So many to choose from to home maintenance products. the cool thing is that their are red hair color shampoo’s, conditioners and leave in treatments. when you find the perfect red that makes it easier to choose from. We recommend using a red color conditioner so that you can manage the red tones that suit you personally.

k about our color conditioner mixed specifically for your hair color needs. Use 2 – 3x per week for best results. Call 717.84.4424 for an appointment. Please bring photos of what you like or don’t like.

She wants individuality, demands a unique experience, and wants the flexibility of her conservative color for day and rainbow hair color for night.

About 30 years ago, we would have been looking at someone with red hair, purple hair any color of the rainbow hair as if they had a second head. What I realize is that these creative individuals had their own authority of ideas with their hair which was a form of expression. I wished I was more open to that back then but I wasn’t raised that way. How unfortunate because what I realize now is how much I appreciate a person that has their own authentic ideas of how they want to weave in the artistic fun in their lives. I’m all about it now. As a Master Cosmetologist, I work with all different forms of hair color along with the creativity it takes to make these looks go from conversation to reality.

Hair is a fabric of sorts. It’s porous, it’ will either accept hair color or it won’t. As  professional, we have to make a choice on the type of hair color that is used to give a result.

Take one of my clients Sarah Lushbaugh, York Pa. she has her hair double processed then toned to a pale blonde color for years. One day she decides that she wants to have all kinds of rainbow hair color put into her hair. She calls and we talk about it. When I say we talked about it I mean we talked about the arrangement of the hair colors, which one sat next to which one and she had an elaborate creative plan about her hair. As you can tell it turned out beautiful and soft pastel looking.

We spent a few hours strategizing which colors that she had to choose from. She was pretty excited. I had taken all of the colors that she had a strong interest in applied them to a white paper towel which helps see the true tone of the hair color so that she could visualize what her hair would look like.

It turned out great for her and gave her what she wanted with her personlized rainbow hair color. The condition of her hair was excellent. Remember, this only takes on very pale blonde white hair. If the raw hair is darker, you will get a different result. We recommend working with a professional so that you can get the result that you want.

Sarah wanted the middle of her hair pink where there was some pale yellow underneath.

Tips on consultation with your professional hair colorist:

1. Make sure you are comfortable with bright colors, neon colors or pastel. Communicate the type of technique such as balayage, ombre’ highlights, foil highlights or all over. list.  “In the old days of foil, clients were in the chair every four to six weeks for upkeep,” Braun says. With balayage, Braun might see a client only three to four times a year for an hour or less. The technique requires a high degree of skill that hasn’t been widely taught until recent years, although it’s been around since the late fifties. Balayage has only recently stepped into the limelight thanks to models and A-listers who love this beautiful look.
2. Check your beauty budget. The Prep can be expensive if your hair is not as light as it should be. It’s important to be specific on the result you are looking for when it cmes to Rainbow haircolor. Doing the prep work to lighten the hair that is left in healthy condition is VERY important. If your budget doesn’t allow the entire head to be done or the length was not achievable (the longer the hair the more expensive) the the tips of the hair or the bottom area could be acomplished with an ombre’ look.
3. Once the rainbow hair color is in the hair, it isn’t coming out right away. It stains the hair and if the colors blend into each other you may get a whole new rainbow hair color such as red and blue make purple wherever they connect.

2017 shows Contouring Color for hair for spring and summer

                   What is Contouring Color?

The artistic placement of color shading to bring out the shape of the haircut design.  These contouring colors are placed in the swell of a curl, along the edge of cut giving the illusion of choppiness, lightness at the curve of the head reflecting light. Strategically placed hair colors of dark to light, light to dark, warm to cool or cool to warm to mimic movement in the hair.

Imagine your makeup that you place to contour your cheeks, your eyes, and your jawline with a darker or lighter shade to bring out your best features for “affect”. The same works for Contouring Color only with lighteners to brighten and hair color to add depth. This is the most exciting time of year to bring out your best features with techniques that will express yourself.

When a stylist takes time to consider texture of hair, where the hair sits naturally on the face to determine what is best for your face shape and lifestyle is part of the consultation we do with all of our clients at Indulge Salon. After 25 years of being in the salon industry, I still spend the time to tweak new ideas for my long time clients.

Even short hair can have Contouring Color for hair. I did this one client whom travels 5 hours to have her hair colored and cut with me once a month. We created this amazing inspiration of blue jean color which was depth of a gray blue at the scalp then diffused towards the ends as a faded blue gray. This was one of my favorite hair colors that was iconic for me. We still talk about this color but have since moved on to the new grays along with a disconnected cut.

Customizing the hair with a new haircut and color is truly the ultimate for any person. Contouring Color for hair will give a personalized approach to the same old balayage that we have been doing for years. Here are some of the few techniques that are excellent for longer hair:

1. Balayage highlights technique was designed to free hand paint lightener to give off the look of the sun kissing the hair on top of the head. This technique creates a very natural look.
2. Free lights techniques is another version of hand painted highlights however the product used is 100% different. The product encapsulates the hair creating a seal around the hair shaft therefore protecting it from touching other parts of the hair that could get spotty if touched. This was revolutionary in the hair coloring world from my opinion.
3. Ombre’ technique is still strong with the darkness at the scalp then moving lighter towards the ends. This took the balayage technique and turned its world upside down. Still popular but seeing it trend more towards the brighter rainbow colors to showcase the colors even more.
4. Contouring Color for hair has created a movement amongst our peers in the salon industry to customize the artistry for the person we are working on. Our clients expect personalization from the hair to their makeup.
5.  Here is the hit list of trends:
   1. Vintage Waves, romantic waves styling, curls

      Graphical Fluidity – courtesy of wella

      and beach waves using the new EIMI products to produce long lasting waves customized with Contouring Color to show off those waves after styling. This is artistic and crafted for each person.

   2. Graphic Fluidity – demonstrating the seemless color complimenting the change in textures by craft cutting. The craft cutting technique (we just finished a training on this) is about the precision of the cut that after moving the hair (fluidity) shows the change in contouring color in the hair.
   3. Optical Waves – dark to light shading and contouring with

      warm to cool or cool to warm. This technique is mesmerizing because of the interest of looking at the hues of color in the hair.

   4. Undulating Color for Curves are inspired by movement such as walking down a street. The breeze that has lifted or bounced the hair while walking will reflect the light differently on a wave with shadow. Fascinating to talk about light and shadow in color to make movement in the hair.
   5. Pixelated hair – think of a dots that make
