Gray Coverage and Single Process Color in Wellesley
Single Process Color is our simplest color service, and it’s the one many guests choose to cover gray or refresh their natural shade. If you’re thinking about trying color, this is a friendly place to start. Our salon is at 72 Central Street in Wellesley, and your stylist will choose a shade that suits you.
How much is Single Process Color?
Single Process Color starts at $105 and takes about 30 minutes. Time and price depend on the length and thickness of your hair, and we’ll confirm your price when you book.
What is Single Process Color?
It’s one color applied in a single process, either all over or to your regrowth, to cover gray, deepen your shade, or bring back your natural color. If you’re thinking about dimension, see our hair color page for highlights and balayage.
What color do you use?
We use L’Oréal Professionnel color, including INOA. Single Process Color uses INOA, an ammonia-free, oil-based permanent color that’s formulated to cover gray.
How often should I color my gray?
Many guests come about every 6 weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows and how much gray you have. Your stylist will suggest timing for your hair. Between visits, a gloss ($50) can refresh tone and shine. You can find gloss on our hair color page.
Do I need a patch test?
Hair dye can cause skin irritation or an allergic reaction, even if you’ve used it before. If it’s your first color with us and you have known allergies, we do a patch test the same day, on your jawline or behind your ear, and it takes about 5 minutes.
Are there risks with hair color?
- Hair dye can cause skin irritation or an allergic reaction, even if you’ve used it before.
- Tell us about any itching, burning, or swelling on your scalp right away.
- Color is only for hair. Never dye eyebrows or eyelashes, because dye can injure the eyes.
- Tell your stylist about any recent chemical services, such as smoothing or lightening.
How do I keep my color looking fresh?
- Use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner.
- Use a heat protectant before blow drying or flat ironing.
- Wash less often, and rinse with cooler water.
- Wear a hat or use a UV-protective product in strong sun.
