Eleven Years and $17,000 Later, She Finally Asked the Right Question

 We had a guest named Janet come in for the first time with us last month, looking exhausted. She'd been covering her gray hair with permanent color every four weeks for the past eleven years, and she was over it.

"I'm so tired" she said, running her fingers through her hair. "I see my grays at three weeks, and by week four, there's a visible grow-out line. I've been going to the salon every. single. month. since I was forty-two, and I just can't do it anymore."

When we looked at her hair, we could see exactly what she meant. She had about 40% gray, mostly concentrated around her hairline. The permanent color created a solid brown that showed a harsh demarcation line the moment her roots grew in. Her gray roots were coarse and wiry, standing up against that flat brown color.

"How much are you spending on this every year?" we asked. She pulled out her phone and did the math. "Eleven years in and I've spent over $17,000 covering my gray hair."

This happens all the time.. Guests want to know if there's a way to reduce the frequency of their appointments. And we're here to let you know that there is a way! BUT, in this case, it means that you have to be ready to embrace your grays, not hide them.

The Cure: Gray Blending

With gray coverage, that solid color creates high contrast against your gray that you end up noticing the moment it grows in. But with gray blending, you'll see dimension and depth, with no harsh regrowth line! Instead of covering every gray hair with solid color, we can create beautifully soft dimension by weaving lighter and darker tones throughout. The gray just becomes part of that intentional design!

This new style will allow you to go 8-16 weeks in between appointments, saving you money and time in the long run!

What You're Actually Asking

Here is what you need to know.

8-16 weeks

Will it look like we're letting my gray take over?

Not at all! It will look intentional.

Can I go back to full coverage if I don't like it?

Yes, absolutely!
