What is All-Over Color?

All-over color, single-process color – what’s the difference? Well, there is none.

 

It’s easy to get lost in the world of hair color terminology, and that’s not great news for anyone who is looking to do their homework and make the best decisions for their hair and their overall look. That’s why we’re here. Consider our team here at Hologram Salon your fairy godmothers of hair color, care, and science.

 

Okay, so back to terms. All-over color and single-process color are one in the same thing. Two terms, one meaning – which is a single hair color dye process for your entire hair color. Think: one and done.

 

Where this bites people in the bum is that, typically, you may think “blonde”or “brunette” is a single color – and therefore you should opt for a single-color (or all-over color) appointment when scheduling.

 

In the immortal words of Julia Roberts, “Big mistake. Huge.”

 

Is All-Over Color What You Really Want?

 

Those stunning “blonde” or “brunette” colors that you see in magazines or your favorite celebrity rocking are actually lots of different shades woven together through a myriad techniques and applications.

 

Typically, when you want a “blonde” look – you’re really asking for balayge with lowlights and highlights incorporated into your color. We use multiple shades to create dimension and texture.

 

This takes some extra time in the salon to accomplish – and lot more time than a single-process appointment allots for you.

 

When All-Over Color Works

 

Let’s be clear, we would never throw shade to all-over color. In fact, it is a wonderful option for a variety of different scenarios including:

 

·      Adding bold color to a modern bob or short cut

·      It’s a great way to add warmth to your hair and enhance your skin tone

·      Covering gray hair

·      Darkening your hair in a uniform way

·      If you’re new to coloring your hair and want to take it slow

 

Whatever your color goals are – we have your back. Give us a call today to schedule a color consult and we’ll work to create a color plan that works for you.
