Make All Your Fantasies Come True... With Aveda Color
It seems that in the last couple of weeks the New York streets outside the salon have felt a little less bleak, the air in the backyard garden has felt a lot warmer. The colors of spring are starting to pop up, and I’m not talking about any old flowers.
As Spring begins to pop up outside our doors, we have noticed more and more clients coming in requesting fantasy hair color services. I personally think that the rise in our rainbow color services is due to a few factors. First, people are happy about the rising temperatures and want to reflect the brightness of Spring in any way they can. I also think that the relaxation of some Covid mandates following the decline of Delta variant and Omicron variant have many people all over NYC cautiously optimistic that the danger from Covid has passed. And finally, a shift in workplace culture over the last couple of years has made it acceptable, if not welcome, for people in almost any walk of life to rock the colors that were traditionally reserved for artists and rock stars.
There are a couple of questions that most clients ask our expert stylists before they commit to a dramatic fantasy color though.
First, how much damage will my hair suffer if I go for a dramatic change?
The answer to that one is simple, little to none. As you may know, or if not you should know, The Wayward Hairdresser is an Aveda Salon. That means that a majority of the products we use on our clients (and at home if we’re honest) are Aveda, including the haircolor line that we use. Aveda hair color products are formulated with 93% natural ingredients which is far and away more than most hair colors. Completely vegan and created with rich conditioners that not only don’t damage your hair, but can often improve the texture, Aveda hair color is the best.
The next question most clients ask is whether or not a natural hair color like Aveda can deliver fantasy results that are vibrant and long lasting.
YES! All Aveda hair colors are dimensional and provide results that are vibrant and true. With over 65 color options available, there are many gorgeous natural shades, but the color variation extends to some truly beautiful options that nature didn’t create (at least not for hair). But don’t take my word for it, check out some of the results the Wayward crew have achieved recently for some very happy clients:
This modern day Margot Tannenbaum came into the salon requesting a blunt cut bob turned bold by a rich magenta hue.
This icy look was created for a client who wanted a bolder take on a two tone style. Many people are open to a tamer version of this style where the lower layer would be a darker blonde shade or even brunette. By using a bright blue along with the platinum our client was able to achieve a unique and one of a kind look.
This updated shag razor cut is accentuated with shades of crimson, black and if you look closely enough you can find the purple pieces laced throughout. This client allowed her stylist to amp up her rocker style with a color that is as much a statement as her throw back cut.
This girl is on fire. Balayage and blended styles aren’t just for beach blondes any more. This client wanted an ombre look, but also wanted a style that was uniquely her own. We were able to achieve a deeper red near the roots with a lightened red orange toward the end of her curly style. Though red is often a difficult color to maintain because it tends to fade quickly, we have found the Aveda fantasy colors keep their vibrancy long after some other color brands we have tried.
Not all fantasy colors need to be daring. This client wanted a variation on the silvery gray tones that were so popular throughout 2021. We took her natural color to the next level with lavender and purple color on her existing highlights. This is a great look for someone who is growing out highlights, or who wants to try out fantasy color.
Aveda hair color is versatile, easy to use to formulate custom colors, and maintains the health of the hair through multiple processes. As a salon that specializes in hair color, it is always a pleasure to work with such high quality hair color that can provide my clients with such awesome results.
