HAIRCUTS
All kinds. Bringing in pictures is a big help.
A Locks of Love donation
means that you allow us to cut off at least 6" of your hair (Locks of Love
requests dry hair at least 10" long, in a braid or ponytail) which we will then
send to this organization (see www.LocksofLove.org).
We do not charge for cutting off the hair, but if you would then like your hair
to be cut as a hairstyle, we do charge the usual fee.
PERMS: Regular and Special (spiral,
piggyback, partial, root, gemini)
These are just some of the special perm wraps
available. Consult with the stylist who will be doing this service to determine the
exact method(s). Prices for special perms depend on hair length, thickness and complexity
of wrap.
COLORS
Permanent: (brand: Paul Mitchell The Color) -
this stays on the hair shaft permanently (as the name implies), although after many months
there may be some fading or discoloration, especially if one swims, is in the sun, or has
mineral deposits in the shampoo water. Hair grows out approximately 1/2 inch per month,
and you will see a line of regrowth or demarkation ('roots'). Permanent color is
generally chosen when you really want to cover gray or white hair, or change your hair
color dramatically.
Semi and Demi-Permanent: (brand: Paul Mitchell Shines) - these fade slightly and wear off over approximately two to three months.
There is still some ammonia and peroxide in these formulas, so there will be some line of
regrowth or demarkation, although less than with a permanent color. Neither semi nor demi
colors fully cover gray hair, so the gray, usually 50% or less, becomes a highlight to the
new color.
Corrective color: Before an appointment is booked,
one of our haircolor specialists needs to assess the situation to determine the
time needed and the price (corrective haircolor, in general, is about twice the
regular fee).
HIGHLIGHTS (and lowlights)
Only strands of your hair are colored or bleached. These strands
can be pulled through a cap with a crochet hook for a random effect. We use a foam cap for
its cushiony feel. Or your hair can be artfully woven out and placed on foil. Foiling takes
longer and thus costs more. Highlights make the strands lighter than your natural color,
using either color or bleach. Lowlights make the strands darker and so can only be done
with color. Lowlights, also known as Gray Reduction, are often recommended to lessen the percentage of gray.
A partial foil highlight gets the hair at the top and
sides of your head. A full foil highlight also includes all the hair in the
back and bottom, for those who like to have highlights when the hair is up.
Double process (bleach and tone): This is generally done when the hair has
to be lightened considerably, and then the tone has to be corrected to achieve the desired
look.
Please note: To maintain healthy hair,
our professional staff strongly recommends the use of the correct salon-quality
shampoos and conditioners, especially after any chemical services such as
haircolor and permanent waves. We sell at least two to three different
brands at all times, therefore we are able to suggest the products appropriate
for your hair in a range of prices. Please see our Product Comparison
Guide at the salon.
UPDOS
If you have a special event, we recommend a
consultation ahead of time with the stylist who will be doing the updo so everyone will
know what will be involved and what to expect. Arrive with relatively clean
hair. Shampoo
and blowdry are not included with this particular service. Also wear something that opens
easily so it doesn't have to be pulled off up and over your head.
EXTENSIONS
We offer hair extensions in lengths up to 18" in a wide variety of
colors and textures. You must come in for a free 30 min. consultation at
least a week before, so we can order the correct type and amount of hair
extensions needed specifically for you, You pay for the hair extensions when
we order them. A full application generally uses
five to six bundles. Each bundle costs between $75 to $135, depending upon
what length and texture you want.
It takes approximately two to five hours for hair
extensions to be applied. The hairstylist will give you an estimate of the
time needed. The rate for application is $100 per hour which is paid for when you receive
the service. This price includes a haircut and styling to blend the hair extensions
with your natural hair, two special hairbrushes for your home care, and a
maintenance guide. Free 30 min. bi-monthly maintenance is included with
this service. Hair extensions last approximately four to six months.
Removal of hair extensions takes the same amount of time as application, includes a shampoo,
conditioning, and a blowdry, and costs $100 per hour.
KERAGREEN KERATIN TREATMENT
This truly
non-formaldehyde treatment works best on over-processed (from haircoloring or
perming) and naturally frizzy hair.
The price ($200-300) depends on the length and thickness of the hair. The
price also includes approximately two weeks worth of the products you will need at home to best maintain the
treatment. The process takes about one & a half hours. For the
next three to four days you have to leave your hair exactly as it was finished at the
salon. You are responsible for using the products that we give you to
maintain your keratin treated hair.
This treatment does not straighten the hair, but it de-frizzes and lessens any
puffiness. After a treatment, your blowdrying and flatironing time will be
cut in half, and any rain will not affect your hair.
Schedule a free 15 minute consultation to learn whether your hair is the type
that responds best to this treatment.
