Expert Hair Color at Amoy Couture Salon in NYC

All Over Hair Color

Feel like a change? A new hair color could be just the thing you need! Your all over hair color change need not be a dramatic transformation, even a subtle change in colour can make a difference. If you want to go several shades lighter or darker than your natural hair color, or cover any unwanted gray hairs, all over color is the way to go. An all over color can add improved radiance, softness and shine to your hair. A single process hair color will bring renewed shine to your hair and conceal grey hair. Its also a great way to add a hint of reds or blues to dark hair.

Shadow Root Hair Color

Some clients don't like visible highlights up near the scalp or where the hair parts. A shadow root is a perfect solution. A shadow root is a hair coloring technique where the roots are a few shades darker color than the rest of the hair, creating a natural-looking transition rather than a harsh line, and mimics the way hair naturally grows out. Shadow roots work well with balayage, ombré, and even pastel or vivid colors, making it a versatile option. It’s especially popular for low-maintenance color as it allows the hair to grow out gracefully, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups.

Highlights Techniques

Money Piece highlights add a bright frame of blonde around the face. It's an easy way to freshen up your look without a lot of fuss. If you tend to go 3+ months in between your full highlights, try coming in for a toning service along with some money piece face framing foils to keep your hair from looking grown out and brassy!  

Babylights are traditional foil highlights mimic the subtle, lighter hair color seen on children’s hair. This technique works best on the fine hair around the hairline and parting. During this foil service, your hair stylist will take very small, delicate sections of hair to lighten.

Teasylights are a hybrid of balayage and foils hair color techniques, where sections of hair are teased before lightener is applied, accentuating hair color from the mid length down.

Balayage & Ombre

Clients love balayage, the hand painted highlight technique, for that subtle, lived-in hair color look. Balayage can be as subtle or as dramatic as you wish – and it works with every hair color from brunettes, reds and blondes to vivid hair colors. It's no wonder balayage is one of our most popular hair color services for those wanting to lighten and brighten their hair color without going blonde all over. 

If you are a fan of the color melt look, where shades seem to melt into one another from root to tip, ombre hair is for you. Ombre remains one of the most popular hair color looks these days, and for good  reason… ombre looks fabulous on just about anyone. This hair color style mimics the natural look of colored hair as it grows out, with dark roots and lighter ends. This is a low maintenance hair color choice.

Hair Color Correction

Color correction is all about color removal, color balancing, color restoration - whatever it takes to get your hair color back to gorgeous. If your color has become uneven, brassy, or is significantly grown out, or if box dyes have left obvious bands of color, you need color correction.

• Repeated use of drug store box hair colors have left patchy results
• Bleach or peroxide damaged hair color
• Blonde hair discoloration from over exposure to sun, chlorine or tanning products
• Hair color is way too light for your complexion and needs toning down
• You loved your vivid hair color but it's time to go back to a natural shade
• We can also perform hair color correction services on human hair extensions and full lace human hair wigs.

Hair Color for Wigs & Extensions

We can color your hair extensions prior to installation to match your desired shade and style. Pre-colored hair extensions are also available, and a great way to add highlights or color without commitment. We can also customize extensions -  or full lace wigs - with a specific fantasy hair color as we did for Joan Smalls' desired look for Coachella.
