Double Process Color:

Double process color requires lightening or bleaching prior to the application of the desired toner or gloss. Double process color service has been around for many years. This color service was responsible for transforming the pretty Norma Jean into the unbelievably beautiful star named Marilyn Monroe, and launched a new era in hair color with glamorous high lift pastel blondes. Today we are finding that what goes around comes around. You can see a lot of double process blondes in fashion magazines and all over. We are coloring more and more men these days and the men are finding that blondes do have more fun.

HIGHLIGHTING HAIR (CAP):

There are several methods and products used to highlight the hair. Originally the frosting cap was the method of choice. The hair is pulled through a plastic or rubber cap with fine crochet hook and the exposed hair is colored to create the effect of contrast or highlight. This technique is typically used today on very short hair on men and women.

A popular service for men with salt and pepper hair is a cap lowlight. The desired look is a totally undetectable hair color service that takes years off someone's appearance. The gray hair is pulled through the cap and then colored back to the pepper or natural hair color. The finished look is youthful and natural with the appearance of 20 to 50 percent less gray leaving little or no line of demarcation as it grows out.

HIGHLIGHTING HAIR WITH FOIL:

Foil highlighting has become the most popular color service offered in our salon today. Currently, hair color is approached in newer and more creative ways than ever before. Every day we see people everywhere with highlights. Most of the highlight services applied today are prepared with the use of tinfoil. Foil has become the most important tool that a colorist will use to create chunky bold contrasting colors, fine natural streaks, dimensional shading or any combination of these effects. Clients in the salon with tinfoil applied to their hair are a very common sight in our salon everyday.

Most clients will request a full head of foil and the blonde color will be dispersed evenly throughout the entire head. We see this even highlight on conservative styles however we can create a more bold lightening effect by taking thicker sections of hair in each piece of foil and processing the color to a lighter, brighter and bolder desired color.

A popular method of maintaining the highlights in between each full head of foils would be a half head of highlights. This process is done in about a half hour and gives the appearance of a full head with all hair on top and in front being freshly touched up.

Another technique of foiling is face framing highlights or lowlights. Here we take foil in a radical fashion to create the effect of a chunky streaking around the face. This look is found typically on longer strands of hair angled at the front or on top of the head. Highlights and lowlights together gives contrast from roots to the ends and is more dramatic than just highlights alone.

Tri color highlights are very creative and can be achieved with our original methods, Come in and see what we can do for your hair color
