Life is busier than ever, so fitting in salon appointments are exceedingly difficult to schedule. Looking for new ways to cut down on the time spent in the chair, the latest hair color trends are leaning toward a lived-in look and can be quickly accomplished with the latest innovations. From root smudges to base breaks and gloss appointments, these services are the top way to create lived in color.
Why Lived-In Color?
Whether you’re opting for highlights, looking to cover or blend grays or simply want to add a shine you can feel, lived-in hair color offers a low-maintenance option by pairing specific placement techniques with hair color ranges aimed at creating a lived-in look.
Lived-in color works with your natural base tone instead of fighting against it while also utilizing soft blending techniques that lead to less obvious lines of demarcation and the ability to stretch times between appointments. Whether you’re coloring, lightening or glazing — these are our favorite options to get the look.
