As a new school year kicks off, Washington, DC area residents are busy
crossing items off their back to school lists. Among the school supplies
and new clothes purchased, Bella Bethesda Salon is focused on moving to
the head of the class with hair care and color tips for fall and
offers insight into achieving the perfect new look.
“It is often
believed that box color is the best route because of the reduced price,
however having a professional color your hair outweighs any grocery
store dye because of the longevity and manageability alone.”
The first word of caution from Bella Bethesda is to step away from the
box color. In the world of color, one size does not fit all, said Boy
Sharp, a 20-year veteran colorist at Bella Bethesda. It is often
believed that box color is the best route because of the reduced price,
however having a professional color your hair outweighs any grocery
store dye because of the longevity and manageability alone.
Sharp has color down to a science and offers the following insight as to
why going to a salon is the best option when you are in the market to
color your hair:
Safety- Salon color allows variation in the chemical components
that may cause irritation or sensitivity. Because box colors require a
larger amount of chemicals to address all types of hair, you run the
risk of skin irritation or allergies. Although it is unlikely, should
an individual have sensitivity, professional color application may
include a pre-treatment to counteract irritants or eliminate
ingredients that cause reactions.
Chemical- Box color is formulated to accommodate the most
difficult to color hair which means it is very strong and very
aggressive. When done by a professional, the degree and strength of
color are controlled.
Individual- Professional consultation is one of the many
benefits of salon coloring. Variation among hair types (i.e.
fine vs. coarse, porous vs. non-porous) is often why errors result
when using a box color. Stylists are able to address individual needs
and formulate the proper hue for each client.
Economical- Although it appears more cost effective in the
short term, damage and mishaps that may result when using store bought
dye could be costly to fix or cause irreparable damage to your hair.
Natural- Professional hair color offers customization you wont
receive from a box. At Bella Bethesda, over 70 hues are available to
create unique and natural color. Compared to box color which uses one
tone, professional color involves mixing at least 2-3 colors to
achieve the best look during every color service.
Control- Self application is a tricky process and can result in
mistakes. Professional color lessens this risk while delivering
application techniques often too difficult to achieve at home.
Stylists have the ability to enhance or diminish individual features
by using a variation of colors (i.e. enhance eye color, elongated the
face, etc).
As an added incentive to brighten up your color this fall, Bella
Bethesda Salon is offering all new clients $20 off color services (over
$50) through Sunday, October 31.
