Color Me Rad!

Hand made color swatches

Hand made hair swatches by Kristin Jackson<3

Word up this post is all about that color. You know the kinda color that makes you do double take, be it a bit of a pop or a whole lotta BANG! Read on to see some of our tips and tricks to our favorite color of the month…

Custom pink

Donna Rae custom mixed pinks and violets to come up with this amazing tone!

Creative color is made to fade. We always like to go on the more vibrant side to allow for several shampoos. The best way to maintain color is to wash less, embrace dry shampoo and use color safe products or conditioning cleansers. The more you lather and suds the color disappears down the drain. Conditioning cleansers or No Poo can save your color but it’s not for everyone. Sometimes going brighter and allowing the color to fade to a more lived in look, is better for our clients. Remember color can be a journey:)

Electric green bob

An electrifying green on this precision bob both cut and color by Kristin Jackson.

One of our favorite ways of preserving color is by using Viral color depositing shampoo and conditioners by Celeb Luxury. One of my top tricks is washing hair in cool water not only does it give great shine to your hair but invigorates the skin.  Washing in hot water is a color killer, it opens the cuticle and causes the pigments to fall out and down the drain. Cool water seals the cuticle preserving color, keep in mind cool water rinse and repeat!

blonde melted into pale pink

Kristin melted the perfect icy platinum blonde into a soft and muted pink. To get color this white takes time.

All of these images are on double process hair. Hair is lightened to a yellow and then toned to customizable shades from butter blondes, rainbow colors or platinum. Vibrant creative colors are the most forgiving and can blend away even orange tones. To keep pastels and blondes you want to come in every 6-8 weeks for root touchups.

Fiona Beardman did a bleached butter blonde panel and demi permanent black to make this mullet really stand out.

80’s Time Warp With Mullets and Shags Oh My!

We’ve definitely been seeing some 80’s and 90’s nostalgia and we are living for it. I grew up crushing on Keifer Sutherland and all the yumminess of The Lost Boys. I tore up my living room dancing to Pat Benatar and Joan Jett. My life was all about Teen Beat, John Hughes movies, spandex and spraying down my mall bangs with aquanet. Gimme the music of goth rock and hair bands, I’ll take the 80’s any day. So yeah I love me a good mullet or shag. Keep’em coming and the dream alive!

Swoon my beating teen heart nothing like a man rocking business in the front, party in the back. BRB just getting in my DeLorean to transport me back to ’89…

Near perfection with Betty Bangs, shaved sides and long textured mullet. This is up my alley a bit 80’s punk and no wave.

Donna Rae was inspired by Yolandi Visser with this rad cut<3

Texture was added by Donna for lots of lift and curl definition.

Shags are one of my all time favorite. Loads of texture by layering hair to various lengths  this androgynous cut was made famous by rockers Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, Joan Jett and the iconic Jane Fonda.

Shag cut by Donna Rae. Get at Donna every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday for all you 80’s rockin’ needs;)

What is awesome about shags is that you can always take a cut like a bob and shag it up by adding more texture to give it a bit of oomph and edge…
