Ombre

The word ombre originates from the French word for “shadow”. It is the transition of a light shade from a darker shade. Typically, ombres work best on brunettes because it is the least subdued of all the coloring styles., In contrast, a “sombre” is what we would see on blondes. Sombres are typically much more subtle.

Ombre is ideal for the more bold and adventurous woman, as it is absolutely more recognizable and typically higher maintenance. Ombre is fairly like color blocking, you will discover there are no dark portions left on the bottom to help keep it natural, simply a nice shift between the colors. While the ombre is a striking look, it is also something which must be done right.

Balayage

The word “Balayage” comes from another French word meaning “to sweep”. When using the coloring for a balayage, the color is swept through small triangle sections of the hair onto a board or foil, giving it a natural transition down into the lighter coloring. In Balayage, there are dark areas left on the lower parts of the hair to create depth, and a more natural appearance. This technique may resemble natural sun-kissed highlights throughout the hair. The transition is much more natural and it is less upkeep than an ombre.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is plant-based hair color effective for full gray coverage?

Yes. Our ammonia-free, plant-based color formulations deliver rich, long-lasting color and full gray coverage while protecting your hair's structural integrity and scalp health.

How long does non-toxic hair color last compared to traditional dye?

Non-toxic color lasts just as long as conventional hair dye. Because it is gentler on the cuticle, it tends to fade more gracefully without leaving harsh lines of demarcation as your hair grows out.

Can I get balayage or highlights without damaging my hair?

Absolutely. We use gentle, bond-protecting lighteners alongside custom hand-painting techniques to achieve beautiful dimensions while keeping your hair hydrated and strong.
