Did you know that some types of shampoos and conditioners are actually formulated to work with specific hair color chemicals? When using them together, you can extend the life and sheen of your new shade.

Do you have gray hair coming in more heavily than before? Remember, gray hair is more noticeable against dark hair, so you may need to schedule your color appointments closer together.

While it may seem a bit strange, hair actually grows fastest in summer, while you sleep, and between the ages of 16 and 24.

In order to keep your hair looking great between visits, it's important to follow your stylist advice. When we tell you not to wash your hair for a specific period of time, it's to allow the chemicals to fully process or set.

After a professional color treatment, your stylist will recommend you use ultra-premium UV protection shampoos, conditioners, and anti-heat sprays, to preserve the coloring and protect your hair. All premium products are offered at the salon.

If you have a pink or pale skin undertone, cooler hair colors, such as blondes and cool browns, are much more likely to look natural on you.

Some of the most important things to consider when determining the best way to care for your hair are the frequency with which you color it and whether you visit a professional for your hair color.

The growth phase of hair, known as "anagen," lasts between three and five years, which means a full-length hair is between 18 and 30 inches long.

Remember, some types of hair will have stronger reactions to certain types of chemical treatments. For instance, someone with naturally wavy hair may get tighter ringlets than someone with wispy straight hair.

The salon can be an amazing source of information if you're willing to keep your eyes open. We don't mind answering your questions about what we're doing to your hair and why.

Keep in mind that hair that's been professionally straightened needs a good daily leave-in conditioner to keep it from breaking. Weekly deep conditioning treatments at home will keep your hair healthier and help the treatment last longer.

Are you having trouble getting your hair to style properly at home? Instead of having your stylist do your hair at the end of your appointment, consider letting them watch how you do it so they can give you pointers on what to change.
