BEST HAIR COLOR SALON UPPER EAST SIDE NYC – UNDERSTANDING HAIR COLOR

Gray hair may look age wise, but not everyone likes to look older. Covering it up is one quick way to turn back the clock and look younger. But what causes gray hair? As you age, your natural production of pigment slows down and your natural color loses its color strength.

This doesn’t happen to every hair at the same time, so the contrast between the hair with no color and the hair that still has some color causes it to look gray. So how gray your hair actually looks is determined by the percentage of strands with no color vs. the pigmented strands. Gray hair can be resistant to hair color, due to a decreased amount of melanin. Melanin contains metals such as iron, zinc and magnesium that help the dyes develop. If you want to color gray hair completely, your hair may need a full 45 minutes to completely color gray hair and depending what you like afterwards we can make a gorgeous combination of highlights/lowlights.

Once you’ve decided on a color, first time color users should most definitely see a professional in our salon. Not only will you be guaranteed a professional color and finish, you’ll also avoid any first time mistakes, such as ending up with the wrong shade or staining your skin, furniture and clothes.

Your stylist will also be able to let you know if the color suits you and what can be done if it doesn’t (such as slightly changing the tone or mixing it up with a range of other colors). Your hair colorist will also be able to advise the best way to apply the color (permanent tint, semi-permanent etc) to suit your hair type and lifestyle. You’re in the hands of a professional!
