To Dye, Or Not to Dye Your Hair

Hair coloring isn’t a service that’s just for women, it’s actually a booming service in the male hair industry. There’s nothing to be ashamed of for wanting to appear well-groomed, it’s just another part of caring for your hair. Our barbers are experienced with gray coverage, blending, or coloring just for fun! We’d like to focus on how we can help you with graying hair.

If gray hairs have sprung up on you, the first thing you’ll need to decide is if you’d like to color them back to your normal hair color, or use a blending technique for a more uniform gray. Many men enjoy seeing gray sprout up, it makes them more distinguishable, and they may wear it well. Other men can’t stand the sight of them. To some, it makes them feel older, or their gray doesn’t blend well. Whether you’d like to embrace your gray, or cover it up, we can help you with the transition.

Let’s start with gray blending. When your hair is beginning to change from its natural color to gray or white, this is a technique that colors the lighter hair to darker grays. This embraces the gray, but creates more of a salt and pepper look. It enhances your grays, making it blend well, and create an even pattern. This process is quick, you’ll have a more distinguished look in about 15 minutes.

For complete coverage of gray hair, we can color match your natural hair color to cover your whole head. You won’t see a lick of gray, well not until your hair grows back in, that is. You should come back in to get your hair touched up when those gray hairs begin to grow back in.

You’ll also want to color your facial hair. A full head of brown, black or blonde hair with a gray beard, won’t look uniform. You can choose to blend the grays or cover them up to match your, creating a well-rounded appearance.
