1. Low-Maintenance / Long-term Color
Let’s be honest, being in the salon every 4-6 weeks is not for everyone. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a reason to visit up to four times a year. Which is much more reasonable with a busy schedule and budget. There are TONS of color techniques that may be perfect for that lifestyle! As stylists it’s our job to help you feel fresh and provide color services that keep you feeling that way up to 12 weeks outside of the salon. Balayage, baby-lighting, gloss/toner, lowlights, or block coloring may be the style for you. Designed to enhance the beauty of your natural hair. No harsh lines when growing it out, while giving you the option to be brighter, darker, or even add a fun vivid color into your hair! It is important to utilize proper hair care products at home to guarantee the longevity the color services provided. Usually that tends to be a color safe shampoo/conditioner and a thermal protectant. We carry some excellent products from Moroccan Oil and Amika for these purposes!
2. High-Maintenance Color
While there are countless techniques to enhance your natural hair color, there are even more to completely cover it and change your entire look! Usually a salon visit every 4-6 weeks for self-care and coverage can achieve these results.
You often hear the term “you want what you don’t have” and that’s okay! Grey coverage, platinum blonde, all over vivids, from light -dark or dark- light hair color. Usually comes with a more defined grow-out at the base, requiring maintenance every 4-6 weeks (8 maximum). While these services are scheduled closer together, some may be short in terms of actual time spent in the salon. We have WiFi, coffee, wine and snacks provided for you to come in and take care of business while taking care of yourself! Making sure that you’re always using color safe shampoo/conditioner, a thermal protectant, a leave-in conditioner, and don't forget about regular deep conditioning treatments! It keeps your hair happy and healthy between appointments, making it safe for us to chemically process your hair every 4-6 weeks.
3. How to communicate your needs to your stylist
Here at Karma we have a team of 14 stylists on staff! As a team, we have many strengths but we specialize in color. You can always schedule a FREE consultation with the stylist that you think would suit you best (take a look at our 'Team' page!). Plan to come in with inspiration pictures, a budget, and a schedule that works best for you. Having an inspiration picture can be really helpful if you’re unsure of what to ask for.
Our job as your stylist is to communicate with you, to figure out together what we can do to help you reach your hair goals. If you need a big change but don’t have the availability to come see us frequently, please make sure to mention that! It’s important to remember that we may not be able to reach every color end goal on the first appointment. If it’s a big change it may take a few sessions! Trust your stylist, we will always put the integrity of your hair, and what is best for you first. In your consultation we will go over everything that fits your needs, but will also discuss the reality of getting you to your goal! For first time guests we offer 15% off of that first color appointment! We also have an excellent loyalty program - collect 15 points and you receive 50% off of any product for at-home care. 25 points earns you 10% off any hair service!
4. Importance of proper at-home care
For any and all hair services it is SO important to use proper at-home care. Keeping your hair in good, strong, and healthy condition between appointments makes it more realistic for us to get you to your end goal. It also keeps your color looking as fresh as possible for as long as possible. The longevity of your hair can never be guaranteed to last the entire duration if proper at home care isn’t practiced. There are so many benefits to using the right products at home. In order the way to prioritize what’s best for your hair will always start with:
-shampoo
-conditioner
-thermal protectant
-deep conditioning
-styling products
If you’re curious what products would be best for you, ask your stylist! There are products out there to fit all hair needs, from daily hair care all the way through luxury and rebonding technology. We want quality haircare to be available to everyone, so we offer all of our products for a few dollars below retail price!
