Nothing can lift your looks and your spirit, like a new hair color! A sassy new hair color lets you look at yourself in a whole new way. There are many, many ways to add color to your hair:

Coloring can add spice and enhance many hairstyles. It's fun and rewarding when it comes out dazzling, yet it can be devastating when it works out wrong. A great color should look as natural as possible. A good color can add shine, drama and fun to your hair. It can make some hair types easier to style. Although the majority of women color to cover gray, many women color for the fun of having a new look, and the pizzazz it can add to your hairstyle.

Shouldn’t we all dream in color? From the quietest highlights to the most head-turning transformation, hair color does more than change a shade.

It adds dimension, movement, texture and expression. The art of color is a combination of chemistry, creative vision, technical skill, and desired results, while working with pre-existing conditions.

Robb has trained and developed an awesome knowledge concerning the wonderful field of color, applying today’s richest color flavors to the diverse fabrics of hair.

Demi-Permanent color (Redken ShadesEQ)

Want a gentle boost of color with no "roots"? Demi-permanent hair coloring is great for you. Sometimes called glazing, color gels or washes, these can boost hair shine and texture by coating the hair with a non-peroxide no-ammonia color that washes out naturally over 4-6 weeks. Demi-permanent color can only enhance tone or darken the hair and it will cover most gray hair temporarily. This color can help tame the frizzies and actually make your hair appear healthier. I strongly recommend that you use Demi-permanent coloring for as long as it can produce the results you want before going on to permanent color. It is by far the most gentle on your hair, and a low risk way to "try out" a new color.

Permanent color (Joico VeroColor )

Permanent color penetrates the hair cuticle and deposits pigment into the hair shaft. Unlike semi-permanent color, permanent color can lighten your hair. It accomplishes this by lifting natural color and depositing color in a one-step process. Permanent color can cover gray more extensively. And Robb does suggest using professional products not only to keep your shiny healthy hair in condition but to also retain the color added to your style.

Highlighting, Foiling and Weaving

Highlights can be added to the hair by any of these methods. Any hair can be highlighted and is usually given some depth and more texture by this process. You can add lighter, brighter strands of hair overall or just in specific areas. This is a great process for the timid, or the first time blondes. I should also mention "low lighting" here. The same processes are used however, instead of lightening the hair, this is adding darker shades of rich blondes or warmer softer browns. Coloring has come a long way recently and Robb prefers to combine two, sometimes three different natural looking colors into your hair and create beautiful effects.

At home or in the salon?

You will get consistently better results leaving coloring to the professionals. A great hairstylist will be able to pick out the colors that work best with your skin tones. Application can be tricky also. Your hair porosity will determine how long colors should be left on. Even touching up roots can be tricky.

The perfect color for you

Whatever type of color you opt for, choosing the proper range of shades—warm or cool—is the key. The right shade can brighten up your hairstyle . . . and your life.

The most basic principle of color theory applied to hair? It's choosing between warm and cool shades—and with the dizzying variety of colors available, choosing can sometimes be confusing. The best way to make happy hair color choices is to determine whether natural coloring—hair, eye, and skin tones—is primarily in the warm or cool range of colors.
