Solid Bleach Out (Global Blonding or Platinum Card)

A technique in which we foil every piece of hair on a client's head to achieve a platinum or all-over lighter color result without any dimension in between. A Global Blonding or Platinum card is essentially a modern version of bleach and tones.

Starting at $350 (Toner is extra)

Bleach Retouch

It's retouching the grown root from a previous bleach/blonding service. Bleach retouch differs from root touch up because bleach is needed, which makes it more complicated. Must be done every 4-6 weeks to prevent breakage and banding.

Starting at $150 (Toner is extra)

Toner

A demi-color that helps you correct or personalise your colour. It is used to neutralize unwanted tones, add natural or more visible tones after a professional colour treatment. As a result, it enhances the tonality of your hair.

Add on to Color Service: Starting at $50

Grey Blending

Basically, it's like gray camouflage. It's a low maintenance color technique that hides the gray by adding in other colors that are similar to your hair's natural shade. This way it appears less gray, silver or white and creates a smoother transition to these lighter shades.

Starting at $100

Balayage

Balayage is a highlighting technique that doesn't use foils. Instead, your hair colorist will hand-paint color directly onto your hair, creating more natural, blended, sun-kissed color.

Starting at $300 (Toner is extra)

Foilyage

A hair technique similar to the Balayage, Hairstylists apply hair coloring by a sweeping technique, painting on your hair. Then like traditional hair highlights, sections of hair are wrapped in foil to create more lift.

Starting at $300 (Toner is extra)

Ombre

Ombre is the French word for "colour that is shaded or graduated in tone. So the Ombre effect is more of a two tone hair colour. It is usually darker (or natural) at the roots and the dark shade blends into a lighter color however there is a distinct difference between roots and ends.

Starting at $300 (Toner is extra)

Fashion Color

Semi-permanent treatments that naturally fade with time. Bright colors will fade from the hair within 4-8 weeks, while soft pastel tones can fade in 1-2 weeks. Most of the vibrant colors will fade from your hair little by little each wash.

Standalone: Starting at $130

Lowlights

Simply put, highlights are dyed or bleached sections that are lighter than your natural hair color or base hair color, while lowlights are darker, which adds depth or dimension back into the hair.

Root Shadow

Root shadowing is a low-maintenance hair color technique in which a darker shade is applied directly to the roots giving a soft, seamless contrast. It's a great way to refresh your look and give your hair color depth and dimension.

Root Melt

A color application technique that blends the root color with highlights or balayage tones. The purpose of this technique is to make the base color look like it is “melting” into the other tones in the hair. This will make the regrowth softer giving you a low-maintenance color.
