Color / Grey Coverage · Mason, OH
Grey handled the way you actually live
Custom mixed color at the roots, planned for full coverage or a softer blend, whichever suits your hair and your calendar.
Coverage or blending: which one do you want?
Most guests ask for grey coverage, but there are really two paths. Traditional coverage paints a matched shade over every grey strand, which gives a solid, even result at the roots. It also draws a clear line as new growth arrives, so root appointments usually come every four to six weeks.
Grey blending is the softer path. Instead of hiding every strand, your stylist uses glosses, lowlights, highlights and gradual transitions so the natural grey and the colored hair sit closer together. Regrowth looks gentler, and you tend to need fewer touch ups. Blending is a real plan rather than a shortcut, and starting from dark, previously colored hair can take more than one appointment.
The color itself is mixed by hand for you, never poured from a generic tube. Professional color from Redken, Wella and Keune gives your stylist room to match tone and depth precisely. Color is applied at the roots for coverage or dimension. If you want the same shade pulled through the ends, that is an all over service and adds a charge based on your density and length.
It suits anyone with grey who wants to choose how visible it is, and anyone who simply wants richer, deeper color. See the Service Menu for current pricing, which varies by stylist level, length, density and result.

Frequently asked questions
Can grey really be blended instead of covered?
Yes. Blending softens the contrast between natural grey and colored hair using highlights, lowlights and glosses. It will not hide grey completely. It makes regrowth less obvious, so fewer touch ups are needed.
How often will I need to come back?
Traditional coverage typically needs root appointments every four to six weeks. A blended plan usually stretches longer. Your stylist sets the schedule around your grey pattern and how much contrast you can live with.
Why is a blowout or haircut added to color?
Color is finished on dry, styled hair so you see the real result. Every color service includes adding a blowout or haircut, and the Signature Blow Out is a common choice.
Does color pulled through the ends cost more?
Yes. Root color covers grey or adds depth. Bringing the same shade through the ends is all over color and adds a charge based on your density and length. Check the Service Menu for current pricing.
I am new to the salon. How do I book?
New color guests call (513) 229-8818 for the first appointment so we can match you with the right stylist, service and timing. After that visit you can book online. A free 15 minute consultation is available too.
I want to go lighter and cover grey. What should I book?
That often takes more than one service. A highlight paired with root color keeps regrowth seamless, which is exactly what Color + Highlight does. A gloss or toner can finish the shade.
