COLOR List

SINGLE PROCESS COLOR

A single process with permanent color is a one-step hair coloring service that provides full, even coverage from roots to ends. It’s ideal for achieving a rich, vibrant shade, covering gray hair, or refreshing your current color. Permanent color penetrates the hair shaft, offering long-lasting results with depth and dimension. This service does not involve lightening the hair but enhances its tone, shine, and overall appearance. A professional consultation ensures the perfect shade selection to complement your skin tone and style.

SINGLE PROCESS COLOR ROOT MAINTENANCE

A root maintenance service, commonly known as a root touch-up, involves applying color to the new hair growth at the roots to seamlessly blend with your existing hair color. This treatment is ideal for covering gray hairs or maintaining the consistency of your chosen shade as your hair grows. Regular root maintenance ensures a uniform color from scalp to ends, preserving the vibrancy and freshness of your hair between full-color treatments.

TONER

Toner is like a topcoat for your hair, designed to enhance and perfect your color. It neutralizes unwanted yellow or brassy tones in blondes, cancels out orange hues in brunettes, and adds depth, luster, and vibrancy to any shade. Toners help maintain the tones you love, whether warm or cool, while also adding shine, softness, and a healthy finish—even reducing the appearance of split ends. Toners are essential for refreshing dull or brassy hair, making existing color more radiant and polished. 🔹 Required for balayage, foilayage, double process , and highlights. 🔹 Recommended upkeep: every 4 to 6 weeks.

BALAYAGE

Balayage is a freehand hair-painting technique that creates a soft, sun-kissed effect with seamless dimension. Unlike traditional highlights, which start at the root and use foils for precision, balayage is typically applied off the root, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends for a more natural, lived-in look. This technique enhances all hair shades with warm, glowing tones—think chocolate, caramel, and golden hues—for effortless, low-maintenance color that grows out beautifully. Toner is required to refine the final shade. Please book accordingly.

REVERSE BALAYAGE - LOWLIGHTS

Reverse Balayage is a technique that adds depth and dimension by incorporating darker tones instead of lightening the hair, usually matching the natural root color and blending it down towards the ends. This method softens overly bright highlights or blonde hair, creating a more natural, lived-in look with a seamless blend of lowlights and sun-kissed pieces. It is ideal for those who no longer want to bleach their hair or go lighter and instead wish to transition to a deeper, more natural look by extending their root color downward for a soft, effortless blend.

FOILAYAGE

Foilayage is a premium lightening technique that combines the artistry of balayage with the lifting power of foils. This method is ideal for brunettes seeking brightness or those wanting to go super blonde with a more natural, blended effect. By hand-painting lightener onto selected strands and wrapping them in foils, the color lifts more effectively than traditional open-air balayage, resulting in vibrant, sun-kissed dimension. This technique creates seamless, lived-in color that continues to look better as it grows out, making it a perfect choice for those wanting a low-maintenance yet high-impact result. Toner is required to refine the final shade, and in some cases, a shadow root may be needed for the perfect blend. Please book accordingly

HIGHLIGHTS

Highlights create dimension and brightness by lightening select strands of hair. This is traditionally done using foils, where sections are coated with lightener and wrapped to keep them separate from the rest of the hair. The foils help control placement, prevent color transfer, and enhance lift by trapping heat. This technique allows for precise, root-to-end lightening, blending naturally with your base color or creating bold contrast, depending on your desired look. Toner is required to perfect the final shade. Please book accordingly.

HALF HEAD Highlights/Foilayage/Balayage

This service enhances dimension by lightening strands on the top and sides of the head, focusing on areas that naturally catch the light. Whether done with foils for precision, foilayage for maximum lift, or balayage for a softer, sun-kissed effect, this technique brightens your look while keeping the underneath layers of your natural color intact. 🔹 Toner is included in the price—no additional charge.

FACE FRAME MONEY PIECE

Money Piece refers to bold, face-framing highlights that start at the root and extend to the ends, adding brightness and dimension. This technique is typically done using foils for precision, allowing your color artist to hand-paint thin, luminous highlights around the face for a striking yet natural effect. This meticulous method enhances your features and creates a sunlit glow, making it a perfect add-on for those looking to refresh their look with minimal upkeep. Toner is required to refine the final shade and may also help refresh previous color. Please book accordingly.

SHADOW ROOT

A shadow root is a sophisticated hair coloring technique where a slightly darker shade is applied at the roots, creating a soft, natural transition to lighter tones throughout the hair. This method adds depth and dimension, offering a lived-in, low-maintenance look that extends the time between salon visits. Shadow rooting is particularly effective in blending highlights or balayage, resulting in a harmonious, gradient effect that enhances the overall richness of your hair color.

DOUBLE PROCESS COLOR

A double process color is a comprehensive hair coloring technique involving two distinct steps to achieve a significant transformation in hair color. This method is particularly suited for individuals seeking to lighten their hair by more than two shades, transitioning from dark to significantly lighter hues, or opting for vibrant, unconventional colors. 

Step 1: Lightening or Bleaching The initial phase involves carefully lightening or bleaching the hair to remove its natural pigment. This process sets the foundation for the desired color by creating a blank canvas, essential for achieving dramatic color changes such as transitioning from brunette to platinum blonde. 

Step 2: Toning or Coloring Following the lightening process, a toner or chosen hair color is applied to the pre-lightened strands. This step refines the hair's shade, ensuring the final color aligns precisely with the desired outcome, whether it's a natural-looking blonde or a bold, vivid hue. Ideal Candidates for Double Process Color This technique is ideal for individuals aiming for: 

Significant Lightening: Those desiring to lighten their hair beyond two shades. Vibrant Color Transformations: Individuals seeking bold colors like pastels or bright, unconventional shades.

 Complete Color Overhaul: Those looking to transition from dark hair to significantly lighter tones, such as brunette to platinum blonde. Considerations Due to its intensive nature, double process coloring requires a longer salon appointment and may involve additional maintenance to preserve hair health and color vibrancy. It's essential to consult with a professional colorist to assess hair condition, discuss desired results, and understand the commitment involved in maintaining the new color. By choosing a double process color, clients can achieve dramatic and customized hair transformations tailored to their unique style preferences

DOUBLE PROCESS ROOT MAINTENANCE

Double Process Root Maintenance, ideally less than an inch growth, is a touch-up service for previously lightened hair, ensuring a seamless blend between new growth and existing color. The roots are carefully lightened, then toned to match the rest of the hair, maintaining a bright, even, and polished look. Ideal for those with platinum, high-lift blondes, or vivid colors, this service keeps your color fresh and consistent.

COLOR CORRECTION

Corrective Hair Color is a specialized service designed to fix unwanted results from a previous color treatment. Whether your color turned out too dark, too light, uneven, or brassy, this process requires the expertise of a professional colorist to restore balance, dimension, and health to your hair. If your color isn’t what you envisioned, bring inspiration photos and discuss your desired outcome with your stylist. At Art Room Hair Spa, we take pride in our ability to assess, correct, and transform your hair with precision and care—ensuring you leave with the color you truly love.
