Still one of the best random shots I got π₯°
I absolutely LOVED having this beauty back, even if it was only for the night!
She moved to Calgary 2 years ago & reached out when she was back intown to refresh her blonde , add a tapped shadow root & refresh her toner.

#1 common misconception with vivid colours is that the come out easily.
- yes they do wash out, so in terms of permanent, demi permanent or semi permanent colour (vivid colour), yes it is the most noncommittal hair colour. HOWEVER, the darker vivid you go the larger the colour molecules, in which they stain the hair longer than lighter vivid colours, meaning, it may be tougher to change colours.
Sometimes an oh so glossy black is where it's at π
Deep jewel tones, oil slick, whatever you wanna call it... this mama needed fun again!

Adding a few highlights with a tapped shadow root can enhance a natural colour dramatically β¨οΈ
A little blue variation for today
We kept her normal regrowth colour but decided on a richer, deeper toner for her ends for the winter.. like 3 months ago π
It's always a time doing this gals hair!
I asked for fierce eyes and I got a lil fierce & a lil imma look into your soul eyes π
Just playing part time scientist over here when coming up with new custom formulations for my clients π₯Όπ§ͺπ¬
Better a "lil" late then never π
Just kidding..this was from like 6 months ago that I didn't post, because I've been slacking at the social media thing. π«
Sometimes a little change is in fact a big change π
Hallo! π
Rainbow hair. π
I get a ton of requests for this, & usually advise people it might not be feasible, but let's do other vivid colours instead.
Why? Well, let's go back to colour theory
The rainbow is made up of all the complimentary colours (red/green, orange/blue, purple/yellow) which is great to accent the brightness of each, but can be difficult once leaving the salon.
Why? π colour bleeds when you wash it, sweat or even heat style it, & if not washed properly, in cold water with the proper after care, this beautiful rainbow becomes a muddy mess (yes, it can literally go baby puke, or baby poo brown π¬).
Rainbows are so fun, but proper knowledge of the aftercare is key!
Some go light for summer π, others go to the dark side π

Who knows but we love it πββοΈ
β¨οΈ Color Correction β¨οΈ
Even though this beauty was blonde to start, it still took 6 hours.
Why?
1. The different banding of colour
2. The integrity of the hair
3. Cancelling out warm & adding tones to make a balanced colour
Pictures 1 & 2 are the after, 3 was before!
Color corrections take time, alot of knowledge & multiple appointments!

Hey!
I've been MIA lately, but here I am! π
β¨οΈ Price Adjustment β¨οΈ
Effective May 1st, 2023, we will be implementing a slight price adjustment to all services that are offered.
What will this look like?
This will be a $2 to $5 increase on all services.
Why was this necessary?
- Hydro. We all felt the sky rocket increase at home & we feel it here too, unfortunately!
- Colour supplies (this includes brushes, gloves, developer, colour, foil, etc). Over the last 2 years these prices have increased 4 separate times for various reasons such as packaging, shipping costs, ingredient mark up, etc.
- Payroll tax. Payroll taxes took an increase Jan 1st of this year.
- Booking Software. Unfortunately,(but will be exciting!!) This is an area that increased in fees as well. HOWEVER, we will be offering online booking & text confirmation soon! (Will be announced in the next few weeks π)
- Continuing education. We strive to provide our team with one in house education training every quarter, so they can continue to grow their skills & provide the best knowledge/services for our clients.
We understand this is less than ideal with constant inflation in other parts of our lives, but we thank & appreciate everyone's understanding for this very hard but necessary decision. π
