All Over Hair Color

Ready for a refresh? All over hair color is a simple yet powerful way to transform your look — whether you're craving a dramatic shift or just want to enhance your natural shade. From subtle tonal changes to going several shades lighter or darker, this single-process color service offers complete coverage and renewed vibrancy.

It’s also ideal for blending or covering gray, adding warmth or depth, or even infusing rich tones like auburn, mahogany, or deep blue into dark hair. You’ll walk away with hair that looks shinier, softer, and full of life.

Shadow Root & Root Melts

If you prefer a softer, more natural grow-out without visible roots or harsh color lines, a shadow root or root melt might be the perfect choice. This technique involves blending a slightly darker shade at the roots into lighter ends, creating a seamless transition that mimics how hair naturally grows.

Shadow roots pair beautifully with balayage, ombré, and even bold or pastel shades, making them a versatile option for many styles. Root melts take it a step further, blending the root color deeper into the mid-lengths for an even more diffused effect. These low-maintenance looks extend the life of your color and reduce the need for frequent touch-ups — perfect for clients who want effortless, dimensional hair.

Highlighting Techniques: Money Piece, Babylights & Teasylights

Money Piece highlights

A bold yet low-effort way to refresh your look, money piece highlights frame the face with bright, lightened strands — perfect for adding instant glow. If you tend to go 3+ months between full highlight sessions, this is a great way to revive your color. Pair it with a toner and face-framing foils to prevent brassiness and keep your blonde looking fresh.

Babylights

Babylights are ultra-fine, delicate highlights that mimic the soft, sun-kissed color seen in children’s hair. Ideal for fine hair near the hairline and part, this traditional foil technique adds subtle brightness and dimension without visible lines of demarcation.

Teasylights

Teasylights blend the best of balayage and foiling. Sections of hair are gently teased before applying lightener, which softens the transition between tones and gives a natural gradient from mid-length to ends. This method adds depth and movement while keeping the overall look soft and low-maintenance.

Balayage & Color Melts

Balayage continues to be one of our most requested hair color techniques — and for good reason. This hand-painted highlighting method creates a soft, lived-in look that grows out beautifully with minimal upkeep. Whether you want subtle sun-kissed strands or high-contrast dimension, balayage can be customized for any hair color — from brunette and blonde to red or vivid tones.

Prefer a more blended, seamless transition? Color melting and ombré techniques create a smooth gradient effect, where darker roots gradually fade into lighter ends. This style mimics the way colored hair naturally grows out, making it ideal for clients who want dimension with less frequent salon visits. It’s a low-maintenance yet high-impact color option that flatters just about everyone.

NYC Hair Color Correction Experts

When your hair color needs a reset, we're here to restore it. Color correction can involve color removal, rebalancing uneven tones, or shifting your shade to better suit your complexion — whatever it takes to bring your hair back to beautiful. Our expert team handles even the most challenging cases with care and precision.

You may be a candidate for color correction if:

  • Drugstore box dyes have left patchy or uneven results
  • Bleach or peroxide caused unwanted tones or damage
  • Blonde hair has turned brassy due to sun, chlorine, or product buildup
  • Your color is too light or too dark for your skin tone and needs adjustment
  • You’re ready to transition from vivid fashion shades back to a more natural hue
  • Your human hair extensions or lace wig need expert color correction

Whether it’s a full transformation or a subtle fix, we’ll customize a plan to restore balance, shine, and confidence to your color.
