Color at Home or the Salon?

Enhancing your looks can just be a salon away.

Color...is definitely an effective way to look and feel younger. Having your hair look and feel great is the best way to boost up your self esteem and your appearance.

Our economy has slowed down the beauty salon business and more women and men are doing their hair color at home...that is understandable. But one wrong choice of the proper hair color may end up costing you more than you bargained for.

Many brands of hair color have emerged in the last few years claiming to give you the best hair color ever...but eventually some of them can destroy and damage your hair beyond repair. Using a good hair color brands is always the best and going to a professional hair salon is worth spending that extra change. This experienced and professional individual is knowledgeable enough to choose the proper brand and color for your hair type. Many store bought hair colors contain metallic salts which can damage your ends and fry them after a permanent wave.

Make sure the hair designer you choose has had many years of experience under their belt. Ask them if they have a portfolio you can see of their years of work. One good way to find this person is by observing how other people's hair is done. Word of mouth and how their work looks is the best advertisement they have.

If you like some one's hair style or color don't hesitate to stop them in the street or the mall and ask them where they get their hair done and by whom. Then go visit that hair designer, consult with her, show her some pictures of what you would like and then ask her questions on length, color and maybe highlights to compliment that hair style. You will be pleased with the outcome especially if you have to wait for an appointment with that person...this means they are requested often and they are busy. This is the best way to know this hair designer is good. So wait patiently and pay those extra the bucks to look good ...you will be happy in the long run.
