A client of mine asked me the other day "Should I color my hair" ? Even though she had at least 30% grey, I had to ask myself, "Is this a trick question?" She was only 42 years old, but I had to find out how serious she was or perhaps was she only talking out loud? Having this much grey and not covering it at her age meant either she just did not care or she had eye sight issues. So I started out by asking questions like "How do you want other people to view you and do you want to look your age"? Some women can`t be bothered with their hair and others are simply unaware of how they look.

So we talked a little more on upkeep, color and styles to get a better understanding of what she might expect. As we spoke, she felt better about the outcome. We chose a color by Aveda to match her own hair color so when it grows out, the change will be very subtle. What most people don't understand is how much grey takes out the shine in your hair. The whole experience was a positive one and her hair came out wonderful; she was quite pleased! Now she will come in every 4 to 6 weeks and all her friends just say how youthful her hair looks and they have forgotten all about the grey!

The upkeep is well worth the time and effort. Coloring your hair can take around an hour or more but the results can be life changing. Have you ever seen makeovers on T.V.? The people look so plain, but with a fun hair style and hair color their transformation is incredible! It’s as they have been shot in the arm with confidence! Just amazing how simple a makeover can boost one’s self esteem. A good tip is don’t color your own hair. The color never comes out like the picture on the box. True, box coloring is much less expensive than going to a professional hair salon. However, if you do something wrong (color not right) the cost to fix the problem will be higher than normal prices at the salon because your hair is now a big mess! If you do color your hair don’t attempt to recolor when a mistake happens! Make appointment to repair your screwed up hair. Your hair professional will bring your hair back vibrant and sexy!
