Consultation and color planning
The process begins with a focused consultation to translate your idea into a practical color plan. We review your current color history, hair condition and lifestyle needs — including commuting or after-work schedules — to choose shades and placements that achieve your vision while fitting your routine in Fort Greene and greater Brooklyn.
Design decisions balance visual impact with realistic upkeep. Placement, contrast and saturation are chosen to suit your natural base and the statement you want to make. Because clients often value hair health and consistent results, the plan will also include any recommended protective steps and a candid discussion of maintenance needs.
Factors that shape results
Several clear factors determine how vivid fashion shades look and last: your starting color, previous chemical treatments, and hair porosity. Environmental elements common to Brooklyn — seasonal humidity in summer or dry winter air — also influence how color sets and how quickly it may fade, so we factor local climate into color choices.
There are practical trade-offs: higher saturation and lighter lifting usually create the most vivid tones but can require more upkeep. Our approach is guided by client priorities — whether a short-term bold change for festival season or a longer-running creative look — and by the salon’s focus on protecting hair integrity.
Maintenance and appointment timing
Maintenance expectations are part of the initial plan. Fashion Color holds particular popularity in June, July and October — tied to summer festivals, Pride events and Halloween — so plan touchups accordingly. Quick appointments and evening slots accommodate commuters traveling via the Atlantic Avenue–Barclays Center hub, making it easier to fit bold changes into busy schedules.
Price: $200. Duration: 15 MINUTES. During your visit we confirm the color map, apply the chosen fashion shades and review aftercare recommendations. If additional services are needed to prepare or protect the hair, those will extend time and cost and will be discussed before we begin.
