Hair Color at The Junction: Find Your Perfect Service
Balayage is a freehand technique where color is painted onto the hair to create a gradient effect: lighter towards the ends, darker near the roots. The color grows out seamlessly with no noticeable regrowth lines. Ideal for those who want a subtle change with minimal upkeep.
Best for: A natural, low-maintenance, sun-kissed look.
Highlights lighten sections of your hair; lowlights add darker tones. Both give hair a multi-dimensional, fuller appearance. The technique is versatile, adding warmth or coolness depending on your preference.
Best for: Adding depth, dimension, and texture.
Full color provides an even, consistent shade from roots to ends. Permanent color is ideal for covering greys, going darker, or switching to a completely new shade. Semi-permanent options fade more naturally and suit clients who like to change their look frequently.
Best for: A dramatic all-over change or complete grey coverage.
A gloss or toner is a semi-permanent treatment applied after coloring to adjust the tone of your hair. It adds shine, deepens color, or neutralizes unwanted yellow and orange tones, especially for blondes. At The Junction Salon, we use Redken Shades EQ gloss.
Best for: Enhancing and refreshing color, adding shine, or correcting brassiness.
Electric blue, vibrant pink, lavender. Fashion colors are for those who want to express their individuality. These shades fade faster than natural colors and require more maintenance, but offer a daring look that’s all your own. They show most vividly on light or pre-bleached hair.
Best for: Bold, creative, and vibrant personal expression.
Root retouching is a targeted service that covers regrowth, keeping your color looking polished without a full color session. Popular for grey coverage and for clients who color darker than their natural shade, it extends the time between full applications significantly.
Best for: Maintaining a consistent color between full color services.
Color melting blends contrasting shades into a flawless, seamless gradient, dark roots into light blonde tips, for example. It creates a soft “melted” transition from one color to the next and works beautifully for clients who want a low-maintenance yet striking result.
Best for: Seamless blending of two or more colors for a natural yet striking effect.
Each service has its own advantages depending on your goals, whether you want something low-maintenance, dramatic, or creative. Not sure where to start? A consultation with one of our stylists will help you choose the service that best suits your hair, lifestyle, and personality.
