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.

Have you ever thought about using hair extensions to add an Ombre hair color, highlights and lowlights, or bright neon colors to your hair? If you think outside the box for a minute, it makes perfect sense to use extensions instead of coloring your hair in certain instances. Working at a Dallas hair color salon, I see several people a year who want to add a pop of bright neon hair color to their hair. Lately, Pastel hair colors have been becoming more and more popular. My clients absolutely love keeping their hair healthy with Ombre hair extensions in Dallas and using extensions for other hair color purposes. Here’s why:
If you’re looking for highlights or an Ombre hair color style, this can very easily be done with hair extensions. For Ombre hair styles, you almost always have to lighten the ends of your hair with bleach. So let me repeat what I just said: You almost always have to bleach the ends of your hair to achieve an Ombre hair color. Yes, the same ends of your hair that bear the beating from your flat iron, curling iron, and last summer’s sun damage from all that time at the pool. Instead of bleaching the ends to lighten them, you could very easily throw in a few colors of hair extensions so you get a soft, seamless transition from dark to light. In doing this, your ends weren’t lightened and you spare yourself any further damage. Plus, when you move on from Ombre hair extensions hair styles, we take them out and can easily change into the next upcoming hair trend of 2013.
If you want to throw in some highlights or lowlights with hair extensions you should seriously consider a Highline system. Though it is marketed for adding volume on top of the head, this is an incredibly versatile system. First of all, who doesn’t want more volume on top of their head? Not only does it do that, it’s an amazing tool to either get darker or lighter than your natural hair so you get a hair color with dimension. All without coloring, or highlighting your own natural hair.
On another note, if you are wanting to throw in pops of bright funky hair colors then you should definitely be paying attention to this! I always recommend using hair extensions any time someone asks me to throw a little bit of bright rihanna red, or any other crazy hair colors like blue, green purple, etc. Here’s why:
To get those funky neon or bright hair colors, your hair has to be lightened with bleach to remove any dark pigment. Then, we go in and color your hair with what ever color you so choose. All is fun and you leave the salon with bright funky hair color, but let’s fast forward two weeks later: That bright funky hair color has faded incredibly fast, and your bright blue is now a weird green blue teal color. Or that Red is now orangish yellow. Not pretty.
Hair extensions that are pre-colored with these colors do not fade. Yep, I said it. Working with either Easilengths, or Hairdreams hair extensions I can pre-order fashion hair colors that will keep their bright colors the entire wearing time as if it’s always freshly colored. Even if we have to color the extensions to make your custom hair color, we can start with the lightest of hair extensions so you get that pop of color without damaging the cuticle – which in turn means the color lasts much, MUCH longer.
Cost:
Not only can going this route be very similar to the cost of your hair color, you get results that last much longer. Adding pops of color with hair extensions starts around $100 – yep, $100. The best thing to do is to book a free hair extension consultation so you can see what best suits your needs.

What are Vomor hair extensions? They are a version of Tape hair extensions that are so popular right now. The difference with Vomor is they are exclusively done at Aveda salons. As a hair extension specialist in Dallas, tape in hair extensions are something I offer to many clients who want fuller thicker hair. Here is why I recommend having your hair extensions in Dallas done by a specialist, instead of a national chain.
1. Time and Experience = No Headaches and Damage
Being the new kid on the block, I welcome Aveda to the hair extensions game. I love hair, hair extensions, women who wear them, and people who do them well. Having said that, I know how many YEARS it takes to actually learn the in and outs of doing hair extensions well.
Applying hair extensions properly so as to not cause damage is something that takes years of practice. While they are marketed to be damage free let me make it quite clear: every type of hair extensions can definitely cause damage if applied incorrectly, or to the wrong type of hair, and/or not properly maintained. It takes years of experience to learn which extensions are best for different hair types.
2. My golden rule: One Size doesn’t fit all with Hair Extensions
My other issue is that Aveda is only doing one type of hair extensions for clients: Vomor tape in hair extensions. One of my golden rules for hair extensions is to always demand options, and never trust a one size fits all approach. When someone only does one type of hair extensions, you should get out of the chair and run! There is no one-size-fits-all hair extension system. Think of the logic: Does it make sense to put the same type of extensions on someone with thick curly hair as you would on very fine thin hair?
All in all, I will sum it up by explaining my thoughts on Vomor tape-in hair extensions. While tape in hair extensions are great for a specific client, it’s best to work with a extension specialist who uses several types and brands of hair extensions.In my honest opinion, having worked with several brands of hair extensions (including a tape in method) having options is the best way to go about hair extensions. When you have options in attachment method: clip, tape, links, fusion, wefts, you can really get a customized solution that best suits your own natural hair type.
In other words: do your research, and look for a hair extension specialist who offers options in your area.
Easivolume clip in hair extensions in Dallas are here! They are an incredibly simple, one-piece clip in hair extension system that adds a tremendous amount of volume to your own hair. It is 100% human hair great quality hair extensions that can be curled or heat styled just like your own hair. This is also ideal for special occasions like weddings and formals.
This easivolume clip in hair extension system in Dallas is ideal for someone who is simply looking for an addition of volume. Even though it comes in 10, 14, and 18 inches, the system is only meant to dramatically fill in your own length. It has 5 pressure sensitive clips that clip in opposite directions to secure it in place.
Cost:
10 in: $90
14 in: $140
18 in: $210
Customization: $65
After I color match you to the best fit, you can come in to the salon for a customization where I add layering to the clip-ins so they look believable and natural. I also show you how to apply them and allow you to do so yourself so you leave confident and able to wear your new clip-in hair extensions.
Cutting bangs or fringe can be a very scary if your natural hair is longer, or you have finer hair around your hairline. Dallas clip in hair bangs are great if you just want to change up your style every now and again. Something like Easibangs clip in hair extensions are a very easy way to add interest around your face and shape up your style. Not to mention they fill in your hairline and can possibly hide those roots for an extra few weeks!
I recommend Easibangs by Easihair because of the 100% remy human hair quality, and the small attachment. With clip-in bangs, something you should look for is an attachment that is not big and bulky because you wear this piece on your hairline, making it very visible. The smaller the attachment, like Easibangs, the easier it is to blend into your style.
Since these clip in bang hair extensions are 100% human hair, they have the believability you need in having a great fringe hair style. You wont have to worry about the hair being too shiny like most synthetic hair extensions. They are secured with 3 pressure sensitive clips to make sure they don’t move once applied. Most important, you can style these bangs to match your style each time since they are great quality human hair. They can be heat treated with any hot tool: round brush, flat iron, or curling iron.
As I always warn with all clip in hair extensions, they are not meant to be worn on a daily basis. When worn sporadically, clip-in hair extensions are a great tool to fill in or accentuate your style. If worn daily, the weight of the clip can very well cause damage to your own natural hair, which is far from what you want to do! If you are looking for a more permanent top of the head hair extension system, you should look into the microline or tophair permanent options.
Easibangs Cost: $100 Customization/Cut: $65
Since these bangs come in a one size fits all length, they are almost always too long to be worn straight out of the box. They are designed to be longer so a professional hair extension stylist can cut them to the exact style you are looking for.
