There are many types of color applications you can choose from when you go to a salon, Here they are:

 

 

PERMANENT COLOUR

Permanent hair color contains ammonia. These colors must be mixed with a developer or oxidizing agent in order to permanently change hair color. Ammonia in color is used to open the cuticle layer so that the developer and color molecules together penetrate into the cortex. The developer or oxidizing agent, comes in various volumes. The higher the developer volume, the higher the lift will be of a person’s natural hair pigment. Someone with dark hair wishing to achieve two or three shades lighter may need a higher developer. Whereas someone with lighter hair wishing to achieve darker hair will not need a high developer. Timing may vary with permanent hair coloring, but is typically 30 minutes or 45 minutes for those wishing to achieve maximum gray coverage.

 

  1. Permanent colors changes hair structure to make colors change
  2. Will cover grey completely
  3. Provides Full hair color coverage
  4. Lasts up to 8 week

DEMI-PERMANENT COLOUR

Demi-permanents have several advantages as compared with permanent color. Because there is essentially no lifting (i.e., removal) of natural hair color, the final color is less uniform/homogeneous than a permanent and therefore more natural looking. They are gentler on hair and therefore safer especially for damaged hair. They wash out over time (typically 20 to 28 shampoos) so root regrowth is less noticeable. Demi-permanent hair colors are not permanent but the darker shades in particular may persist longer.

 

 

 

SEMI-PERMANENT COLOUR

The final color of each strand of hair will depend on its original color and porosity, so there will be subtle variations in shade across the whole head. This gives a more natural result than the solid, all over color of a permanent color. However, it also means that gray or white hairs will not appear as the same shade as the rest of the hair. If there are only a few grey/white hairs, the effect will usually be enough for them to blend in. Semi-permanent color cannot lighten the hair.

  1. used as a hair gloss to create shine
  2. Clear used to add shine
  3. Lasts up to 8 shampoos

 

ALTERNATIVE COLOUR 

The chemical formulae of alternative color dyes typically contain only tint and have no developer. People with darker hair (medium brown to black) need to use a bleaching kit before tint application. Some people with fair hair may benefit from prior bleaching as well. Unwanted tones in hair that have not been lightened enough can adversely affect results, especially with pinks, blues and greens. Some alternative colors are semi-permanent, such as blue and purple, it could take several months to fully wash the color from bleached or pre-lightened hair.

Cancellation/Salon Policy

Salon Policy

Please understand that when you forget or cancel your appointment without giving enough notice, I miss the opportunity to fill that appointment time, and clients on my waiting list miss the opportunity to receive services.

My appointments are confirmed 48 hours in advance because I know how easy it is to forget an appointment you booked months ago. Since the services are reserved for you personally, a Cancellation fee will apply.


– Less than 48 Hour notice will result in a charge equal to 50% of the reserved service amount.

– “NO CALL, NO SHOWS” will be charged 50% of the reserved service amount. (You are considered a No Call, No Show after 10 minutes of your scheduled appointment)

– Late Arrivals: My time is valuable, and so is yours. If you’re late for your appointment, you lose that time. If you don’t show, you’ll still be charged in full. In turn I promise to honor our appointments, and be on time as well.

– Appointments made within the 24 hour period and need to cancel:  The client then must cancel within 4 hours of appointment time or will result in a charge equal to 50% of the reserved service amount.

– Any multiple services or combos must be held with a credit card. Multiple services or combos not cancelled 48 hours in advance will be charged 100% of the reserved service amount. A credit card “HOLD” transaction may be made on your credit card to reserve the appointment time.

This cancellation policy allows me the time to inform my standby guests of any availability, as well as keeping my schedule filled, thus better serving everyone. These policies are presented and provided in the best quality and tradition of excellent servicing for my established and future clientele.

CONFIRMATION TEXTS

As a courtesy, you will get a text to confirm your service appointments two business day prior to your appointment date. However, it is your responsibility to remember your appointment dates and times to avoid late arrivals, missed appointments and the cancellation fee.

 

REFUND POLICY

 

– Services: There are NO refunds for any SERVICES performed. I stand behind my hair services, I will correct any challenges I have created with your color service within 7 days of the service. I can only guarantee my color services if the prescribed products are purchased. Your services are an investment in you, please protect your investment to the best of your ability.
