Give your Hair some Attitude with Dimensional Foiling

Women are always looking for something new and creative for their hair. Whether it’s a new women’s haircut or specific coloring the search goes on for the next technique or style that will give new life to your hair and added confidence to your ego. Dimensional foiling is a fairly new hair coloring technique that provides 3-D highlight effects to your hair. With this method you can achieve multiple layers of different colors in a balanced way that gives hair a full and healthy look. With dimensional foiling you can easily blend in auburn streaks with brown hair to achieve a unique and eye-catching look.

At the Beauty Bar we offer dimensional foiling services for women who want to add a specific high gloss hue to their natural hair to create a subtle but still noticeable hair coloring that will blend in smoothly and look more natural than many hair coloring techniques. Before we began the process, our expert hair stylists consult with you about what colors will go best with your hair and give you several options to consider depending on if you want to be bold and daring or casual and laid back. Also known as multi-dimensional coloring, dimensional foiling literally adds layers of colors to long women’s hair cuts to create depth and bring out the fullness of your hair. Unlike simple single color haircuts, dimensional foiling adds complexity and depth to your hair and gives it some much-needed attitude.

In addition to our many beauty services including bridal makeup, airbrush makeup and corrective coloring, the Beauty Salon is also very experienced in dimensional foiling and if this procedure has caught your attention contact us today to schedule an appointment where we can consult with you on all the available colors and what hues will bring out the best in your natural hair.

Corrective Coloring… Yup, We Do That

Today DIY (do it yourself) has become a war cry for many people who refuse to believe there is nothing out there they can’t do themselves. While this philosophy is great for inspiring people to reach beyond what they think is possible it can also be detrimental when people get in over their heads. From the dangerous (chain sawing trees near your house) to the harmless (attempting your own song demo) doing things yourself can save time and money. However, one area that should be left to professionals is hair coloring. By now you’ve certainly seen the horrendous outcomes that have occurred when women attempt to color their own hair including orange the color of napalm, red so unnatural it’s unnerving and blondes that may require batteries. At The Beauty Bar we specialize in corrective coloring that will undo the fiasco you got out of the box from the store and return your hair to a shiny and natural glow.

As soon as people see a product that can save them a trip to a salon they grab it. From makeup applications to false lashes cosmetic store shelves are full of products women can buy that will give them the opportunity to do a little creating with their own style. But hair coloring is another matter and the consequences of a bad hair coloring job don’t come out as easy as blush you don’t like. Also, many hair coloring products have chemicals that if left too long in your hair can cause entire sections of your hair to break off when brushing.

Another problem with doing coloring on your own is in knowing if your hair is even ready for coloring. If your hair is too damaged to color correctly and is in desperate need of serious conditioning and rehydration and you fail to realize it, your coloring job will most likely disappoint you and also cause unnecessary damage to your hair. Spare yourself the money, time and frustration of a bad coloring job at home and schedule a coloring appointment today with the experienced hair stylists at the Beauty Salon. We’ve seen the worst of the worst when it comes to hair coloring so don’t be ashamed to contact us and let us in on your dirty little DIY secret. Call us today and make an appointment to correct your hair color and give you a look and hue that will make you feel confident again.
