Hair Color, Balayage & Highlights
What is the difference between balayage and highlights?
Balayage and highlights both lighten your hair, but they are quite different in their effect, and also require a different level of skill for application. Most normal highlights require a foil application to accomplish more uniform, consistent highlights all throughout the head. This approach will produce a stronger, more blocky appearance with distinct sections of lighter color. Highlights go superbly with those clients looking for a bold look.
What is lived-in color and how is it different from balayage?
Lived-in color is a multi-tonal color look that mimics naturally sun-kissed hair, with soft dimension and movement. The technique used to apply color is called ‘balayage,’ and the color aesthetic achieved is called ‘lived-in color. Lived-in color refers to the casual and natural feel of the final result; it looks as though you’ve been sunning yourself and your hair getting different tints along the way.
What is air touch balayage?
Available in the market, air touch balayage is an advanced and refined version of the regular balayage technique where the use of blow-dried hair creates extremely natural and soft highlights that look almost like the sun has kissed it. Here, our stylists blow-dry portions of the customer’s hair upward and paint color only on the longer sections that are naturally set up in the air. This will make it so that the color will not be on every strand and will leave more room between the highlights, making the color look more refined and delicate than the usual balayage.
What is creative color, and can anyone get it?
Creative color are not blonde, brunette, or red but styled in a more trendy manner. This includes jewel hues, such as sapphire blue, emerald green, amethyst purple, lavender, and copper. Creative color can be a great way to represent yourself and say exactly what you want to during your hair. These shades may be applied in full coverage, dimensional, or as an overlay for hidden highlights in places where it may not show.
How long does hair color last between appointments?
Hair color longevity is reliant on a number of crucial variables such as the type of color chosen, the natural color and texture of the hair, maintenance regimen, and lifestyle. Permanent colors can last 6 to 8 weeks, although roots will start to show after this period with washing and sun. As with balayage, highlights last a great deal longer as they do not produce a distinct root line (as does full color coverage) and can hold for about 8 to 12 weeks or longer and appear fresh and beautiful. Semi-permanent and demi-permanent hair shades will start to fade more slowly over 4 to 6 weeks and will gradually wash out with every shampoo.
Can I get color if my hair is damaged?
We might suggest waiting to color and applying a few restorative treatments over time before coloring is started, to do a series of restorative services to restore healthy hair and strength. But for those whose hair is only slightly compromised, or just requires some love and TLC, we will often be able to color your hair using conditioning-rich formulas and protective products to minimize further stress.
Hair Gloss Treatments
What is a hair gloss treatment?
Gloss is a semi-permanent product with the aim of giving the hair a shiny, buoyant, dimensional, and toned result without over-coloring and lightening the hair at the same time. Hair gloss treatment is applied throughout the hair and is not worn for as long as permanent color; usually for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the formula for the gloss and desired result. Hair glosses come in different colors, which can be white or golden tones for warm colors, or bright tones for cool and creative effects.
How is a gloss different from permanent hair color?
The principal difference between a gloss hair color and permanent color is that the gloss color has a shorter life, it uses different chemistry, and can’t lift until the permanent color. A gloss also helps raise the hair cuticle with developer and chemically immerse color molecules deep into the cuticle, resulting in permanent color that does not wash out. Permanent color can lighten the Locks to a great extent and will offer much more dramatic color modification.
How long does a gloss treatment last?
Treatment with a gloss usually lasts for 4 to 6 weeks (depending on your hair type, porosity, and shampoo frequency). Hair that is fine or very porous will fade more quickly than coarser and denser hair with lower porosity. Frequent washing or very hot water may cause fading of your hair’s gorgeousness, as the heat and regular shampooing aid in fading. Also, it may lose its sheen faster if you frequently come into contact with chlorinated water, salt water, or direct sunlight.
Can I get a gloss on highlighted or balayage hair?
Yes, you can get a gloss on highlighted or balayage hair. Glosses are indeed one of the most sought-after services when people have dimensional color, as they can be used to remove any brassy or golden shades that may have heightened in their color over the years. A gloss improves dimensional color, gives your highlights an incredible shine and smoothness, and helps maintain salon-fresh color between color appointments.
Keratin, Brazilian Blowout & Japanese Straightening
What is the difference between a keratin treatment and a Brazilian blowout?
The smoothing treatments, keratin treatments, and Brazilian blowouts are alike in their purpose and effect, but different as to their formulation, intensity, and efficacy. A keratin treatment lasts between three and six months, while a Brazilian blowout lasts three to four months. Keratin treatments fill in the hair with keratin protein, which helps to tame the bounces, give a smooth texture, and ensure shine and strength. Brazilian Blowout uses a blend of amino acids and proteins to coat the hair, while Keratin treatments mainly use keratin protein to penetrate and rebuild the hair. They will work on different hair types and hair textures and provide very noticeable smoothing and improvements without straightening very curly hair permanently. Keratin treatment is ideal for providing shine and less frizz while still keeping the natural texture of your hair.
What is Japanese straightening and how is it different from keratin?
Thermal reconditioning (straightening) or rebonding is a more permanent straightening method which involves the use of heat and chemical methods to melt and remold the protein structure of the hair. Unlike Japanese hair straightening, which results to stick-straight locks, a Keratin Treatment primarily prevents frizz while only reducing the wave or curl. During this process, chemical bonds in your hair are rearranged, creating permanently straight locks which are not subject to losing their natural curl or wave pattern as new hair grows.
How long does a keratin treatment last?
The length of time a keratin treatment lasts depends on several factors, including the texture of the hair, its porosity, frequency of hair washing, and the general hair care regimen, and is usually 3 to 6 months. Finer or more porous hair tends to absorb and release the treatment faster, so results often land closer to 3 to 4 months. Coarser hair or hair with lower porosity typically holds the treatment longer, closer to 5 to 6 months. As the keratin wears off over time, brushing it out and with hair growth, the result will gradually fade. Over the months, treated hair will gradually become less smooth as the keratin coating wears off.
Can I get a keratin treatment on colored hair, or color my hair after one?
Yes, for both questions. The keratin treatment will work great on colored hair and is also beneficial to preserve the color from the threads. It is best to color before your keratin treatment is applied to ensure complete color processing. This will enable optimal colors to show and avoid the interference between the two processes.
Is keratin treatment safe for all hair types, including during pregnancy?
Most hair types can endure keratin treatments, and when performed by a qualified salon professional with good quality products, they can be done safely. Keratin treatments are not safe during pregnancy because they often contain or release formaldehyde when heated, which poses inhalation and absorption risks. Formaldehyde or large amounts of formaldehyde were used with some older keratin formulas; however, these had health concerns. Formaldehyde-free or very low-use of formaldehyde, plastics, and other ingredients are used in modern keratin treatments that are sold at professional salons, which are much safer than older formulations because they follow safety standards. If you are pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor before scheduling any keratin treatment, even a formaldehyde-free formula.
Hair Extensions
What types of hair extensions does Bonne Vie Salon offer?
Bonne Vie Salon offers a selection of high-quality hair extension techniques, each suited to various hair concerns, tastes, way of living, and budget. We provide hand-knotted extensions with a natural appearance and comfortable wear for clients who want to get a natural look. The different types of extensions all have their own advantages with regard to comfort, longevity, versatility and maintenance.
What are hand-tied extensions? What are invisible bead extensions?
Hand-tied extensions are small wefts of hair carefully tied in clusters, then hand sewn onto thin, flat rows secured close to the scalp. This creates a natural, flat attachment point with added density and movement, and the flat wefts sit comfortably without visible bulk. Hand-tied extensions are lightweight and move naturally with your own hair, and typically need repositioning every 8 to 10 weeks.
Invisible bead extensions use small silicone-lined beads to attach individual wefts to tiny sections of your natural hair, without heat, glue, or sewing. The beads sit flat against the scalp and are designed to stay hidden even when hair is pulled back or up, which makes this method a good fit for finer hair or anyone who wants a low-profile application. Like hand-tied extensions, they typically need repositioning every 8 to 10 weeks.
How long do hair extensions last, and can they damage my hair?
Quality hair extensions can last 8 to 12 weeks with the proper application and excellent care before maintenance is needed and re-application is required. The duration will vary based on the type of application you use, your own hair growth, and the commitment to take care of and maintain your extensions. If extensions are well applied by an expert provider and well cared for, they will not harm the hair. But overextension, rough handling, lack of knowledge of maintenance, and poor application or wearing extensions too long without their removal can cause stress to your natural hair.
Am I a good candidate for hair extensions?
While hair extensions are suitable for most people, there are a few things you need to have to be a good “fit” for them. Extensions can only go on hair with enough density to hold up the weight and attachment points of extensions. Scalp health is very important, as well as avoiding any sort of scalp conditions which can be triggered by attachment methods. Your natural hair needs to be in fairly desirable condition.
Can I color or highlight my extensions?
Most hair extensions are real human hair and can be colored or re-toned after application. In general, however, we recommend taking extensions that will result in the final color you want; the better and more effective your application is, the more completely you can get the desired color. Make sure that your extension hair matches your existing hair color for the strands to blend in.
Hair Botox
What is hair botox?
Hair Botox is a deep conditioning product that helps to smooth, strengthen, and repair damage as well as add stunning shine to damaged or dull hair. As the name may suggest, it is certainly not a treatment technique involving Botox injections or any other procedures performed with an injection. This method requires the direct application to your hair of an exclusive formula with proteins, vitamins, amino acids, and conditioning agents. It is normally left on for 15 to 30 minutes till the treatment is able to penetrate and work, followed by a good rinse-off.
Is hair botox the same as Botox injections?
No, hair Botox is completely different from facial Botox injections. Hair Botox: This conditioning product for hair and scalp is applied topically. Botox injections can be medical procedures carried out by dermatologists or plastic surgeons and use botulinum toxin to help diminish wrinkles and fine lines within the facial muscles. This cosmetic procedure has been in use for some time now, as people have been getting them for years.
How long does hair botox last?
The effect of the Hair Botox lasts for two to four months and starts to fade as one starts washing the hair. The lifespan is largely dependent on the type of hair, washing frequency, water temperature, and hair maintenance. Fine hair can fade faster than thicker, coarser hair, as the treatment may adhere to the surface of the hair more readily than to the surface of heavier hair, hence its ability to be washed off faster. You might not have as long of a hold if you are washing your locks every day, or if you use really hot water.
Is hair botox safe for color-treated or damaged hair?
Hair Botox is extremely safe, and even highly beneficial for color-treated and damaged hair. Actually, it works great with these types of hair as it gives it the deep conditioning, restoring, and strengthening treatment. Hair Botox is formulated to seal up the porous hair, penetrate for moisture and nutrients, and strengthen the hair itself. Color-treated hair can become porous and damaged as a result of the coloring procedure, and Hair Botox is created to conquer those problems.
What is the difference between hair botox and a keratin treatment?
Although there are similarities in their goals of creating better-looking hair and healthier hair, there are also some differences between hair Botox and keratin treatment. Hair Botox is a conditioner that does not affect the structure of hair, but rather gives temporary smoothness, moisture, shine, and lustre without compromising any structural changes. Botox temporarily restructures hair to provide over an extended period of time, unlike keratin treatment, which puts protein in your hair.
