I use color lines by Rusk and Joico.

Normal processing on gray hair is anywhere from 35 to sometimes 60 minutes. Rusk in 10 will cover gray, and process in 10 minutes. Yes, you read that right: 10 minutes. Your gray can be gone in 10 minutes. Call today for your appointment.

 

Ok... let's talk color... a root touch up or base is less than 1" of regrowth. To go lighter hair needs to be less than half an inch of regrowth. Normal highlights, balayage, toners, etc... are done on virgin or professionally colored/lightened hair. Color will not lift color. If you have a dark hair color in your hair it cannot be lightened with hair color. It must be removed with bleach (aka; lightener/not Clorox!)

If you have experimented with box color year ago, it is still on the midshaft and ends of longer hair. Please understand, box color is a nightmare to remove from hair. It does not lift out the same as professional color and it does not lift the same as virgin hair. If you have used boxed color, always tell your stylist before they perform any chemical service on your hair. Virgin hair, pro color, and box color will yield three different color results when lifted exactly the same as each other. If the same lightening formula is applied to level 4 medium to dark brown hair, each at the same time and left to process the exact same amount of time, virgin hair will be a light yellow, professionally colored hair will be light orange, and box color will be medium to dark orange, if it lifts at all. If the ends of longer hair have been processed multiple times, it is possible they could break off.

The first man I worked for as a hair dresser told me a story of an incident which happened to him early in his career. He asked all the right questions before he did a perm on a woman and she didn't tell him about the henna (a type of hair color) which was in her hair.

For those who don't know, doing a perm involves wrapping hair around rods, applying a perm solution, and unwrapping various rods to check for full development of the perm so as not to over process the hair. After several rod checks, the rods started to come off her head...  hair still attached. What the woman didn't know was that henna and perm don't play nicely together. As I understand it, she ended up with less than a half inch of hair left on her head.

Because of this lesson, I have never had something like this happen to me. I don't want this to happen to you.

We hair dressers go to school many hours and do lots of continuing education. This is why we get paid to do this for a living. It takes an understanding of many facets of hairdressing, one of which is chemistry; ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO HAIR COLOR. If you do it yourself, and it doesn't come out well, expect to pay for CORRECTIVE HAIR COLOR SERVICES from a stylist. Corrective hair color isn't the same thing as a a a regular application of "hair color."

Box color: JUST SAY NO! The cost you'll pay to fix it, isn't worth any amount you think you'll save.
