Grey Coverage & Root Retouch
Grey hair is natural. Whether you love it, cover it, or fall somewhere in between is completely yours to decide. At The Junction Salon, we help you own that choice with color that looks intentional, feels healthy, and fits your life.
For many of our clients, grey hair quietly chips away at self-confidence and personal style. A root retouch or full grey coverage offers far more than a cosmetic fix. It can restore vibrancy, protect hair from sun damage, and do wonders for overall wellbeing. Covering greys is about reclaiming your identity and expressing yourself at any age.

We use Schwarzkopf, Redken and Davines for color, reinforced with K18 or color sealers as needed for healthy, lasting results.
Which Coverage Is Right for You?
From a subtle refresh to full transformation, there’s an option for every lifestyle and maintenance comfort level.
Temporary
Low Commitment
Washes out in 1–2 shampoos. Great for a special event or for testing a shade before committing. Zero processing, zero damage.
Ideal if you’re grey-curious but not ready to maintain a full color routine.
Semi-Permanent
Flexible Fade
Lasts 4–6 weeks and fades gradually, with no harsh demarcation line as it grows out. Adds shine and blends grey softly.
Perfect for those with less than 50% grey who want a natural, low-maintenance look.
Permanent
Full Coverage
100% grey coverage that holds until the root grows in. The most durable option: your color stays true wash after wash.
Best for clients with significant grey who want consistent, long-lasting results.
The Root Retouch: Your Between-Visit Secret
Targeted. Efficient. Polished.
A root retouch focuses color application on your new growth only, keeping your look fresh without the time or cost of a full color service. It’s the smart move for clients who want to stay polished between major appointments.
Particularly popular for grey coverage and for clients who color darker than their natural shade, a retouch can extend your full-color appointment by 6–8 weeks without anyone noticing.
We blend the retouch seamlessly into your existing color so there’s no visible line, just a clean, consistent shade from root to tip.
Keep Your Color Looking Fresh
Use Color-Safe Products
Sulfate-free shampoo and color-protecting conditioner extend the life of your color significantly between visits.
Wash Less, Shine More
Reduce wash frequency to 2–3 times per week. Dry shampoo is your friend, and your color’s too.
Protect from Heat & UV
Heat styling and sun exposure are the top foes of color longevity. Use a heat protectant and a UV-shielding leave-in when spending time outdoors.
Many myths about grey coverage causing damage are simply unfounded. Modern color formulas from Redken and Davines are designed to nourish as they color, adding shine, gloss, and life to dull strands rather than stripping them.
Not Ready to Go Grey-Free?
Some clients use their grey as a canvas, weaving in electric blues, silvers, or rose golds for a striking, intentional look that turns heads for all the right reasons. If you’re craving something a little more daring, explore our vivid color services.
