Ombre Hair Color – What to Expect

Ombre hair color should be mentioned when you schedule your appointment. Instead of a typical coloring time being booked, we will book a solid 2-hour block of time. Because there are different techniques and formulations being used, your stylist may need to stop one part of your hair from processing and leave another part to finish. This requires their skill and undivided attention. Most ombre hair colors require at least 3 different color formulations. After a thorough consultation your stylist will decide which techniques will work best for you. Ombre hair color can be subtle or an extreme change depending on what you are looking for. It is important to remember that most ombre hair color photos you come across show models or celebrities that have their hair curled. To achieve the same look, you will need to style your hair that way. Ombre hair color appointments at Ashka are $200.00. This charge covers the solid block of time, consultation, formulation, application, and a wash and full blow dry. Many people choose ombre hair color because the upkeep can be low-maintenance since the root area is intended to be darker. This will depend on how close your natural hair color is to the ombre hair color you choose.

Ombre hair color has taken on many other names. These include “color melting” “balayage” and “Ecaille” – The idea of melting gorgeous colors is much more common now. See one of our stylists at Ashka for your next hair color change. We are full of ideas, up on color melting trends and would love to make you look and feel your best!
