Dallas Wella Color Salon | Color 101

Working at a Dallas Wella color salon, I prefer to use Wella Color Touch for demi-permenant hair color.  Who is Wella, and why do I use their product?  Here is a simplified look at Wella hair color in Dallas.

 

Who is Wella, and what is Color Touch?

 

It is one of the oldest hair care companies in the world.  Beginning in the 1880’s, Wella has been groundbreaking and an industry standard in regards to hair color.  They offer several brands, from consumer to professional, that are known throughout the world.

 

There are several types of hair color, such as permanent, demi-permanent, demi-plus, and semi-permanent.  Color Touch is the professional demi-permanent hair color by Wella.  This is more than just a hair color, color touch is packed full of ingredients that leave your strands full of condition and shine.

 

What is Demi-Permanent Hair Color?

 

Demi-permanent hair color is deposit-only hair color.  It does not completely cover gray, but it will blend gray up to 50%.  This is great for someone who wants dimension when covering their gray hair color rather than a solid hair color.

 

Demi-permanent is also great for low-lighting, refreshing the color of your ends, toning blondes, or doing a color gloss service.  Demi-permanent hair color is great for these services because its light ammonia/peroxide levels offer the safest amount of processing on your strands.

What Is A Base Break? | Hair Color 101

Having a base break in Dallas is great for extending your Dallas Highlights.  If you aren’t sure about what a base break does, or what it is, here is more information regarding breaking the base, or a base break hair color in Dallas.

 

What is a base break?

 

Breaking the base, or a base break, is used to blend the hair that is not highlighted in-between foils.  It is used to break-up the darker roots that were not lightened, which helps remove any line of demarcation in your hair color.

Bigger Better Hair | Base Break Hair Color 101

To do a base break, hair color is applied after your highlights for a few minutes to very lightly soften the remaining roots.  (Generally done in the shampoo bowl)  The color is only on your roots for a few minutes to not completely alter the color, or expose too much of the underlying warmth in your natural hair color.

 

When should you get a base break?

 

If your hair is medium darkness, and you are highlighting it, there will be quite a bit of hair in between your foils that is not highlighted.  After the hair is highlighted, this is when you would get a base break.

 

In 3-4 weeks when your roots become visible, you can return to the salon for a base break service to help soften your new-growth and extend your previous highlights for another 3-4 weeks.

 

How much is a base break?

 

If added on to your existing color service, a base break is $35.

 

If done without having another service done, a base break has two prices.  One includes a blowout or style, and one includes leaving the salon with towel dried hair:

 

Base Break with Blowout: $70

Base Break  without Blowout: $35

Shine and Gloss with Hair Color in Dallas

Shine and Gloss with hair color in Dallas is something most people expect.  Sometimes, especially after a lot of heat styling, time by the pool, or sun damage to hair – the shine can quickly become dull.  Adding a color gloss or glaze to your hair color service is a great option for longer-lasting shine.  Here is the 411 on a color gloss service:

 

What is a color gloss?

 

A color gloss is a solution that adds shine and conditioning agents to your hair strands and helps seal the cuticle.  In turn, you get a semi-permenant, usually 2-4 weeks, of continuous shine and condition to your hair color.  They are also great at sealing in your hair color if it fades quickly.

 

A color gloss can be clear, and just add shine to your hair or it can have a translucent tone to it.  Depending on your desired result, I either use Sebastian Cellophanes or Wella Color Touch.

 

When should you get a color gloss?

 

If you aren’t a fan of coloring your full strands every time you have your hair colored, having a clear gloss done is significantly less processing than hair color and will re-freshen the shine and appearance of your ends.

 

This is something that is usually added on to an existing color service, such as when you have your highlights done or roots touched up.  The clear gloss only processes for around 15 minutes under a dryer, or with heat lamps.

 

How much is a color gloss?

 

If booked by itself, with a blow-dry, a color gloss service is: $70.

If booked as an add-on (with another service) a color gloss service is: $35.
