Prepare your Hair for Gorgeous, Long Lasting Color!

If you want your hair color to be more vibrant, last longer, and have more shine, there are a few things you can do before your appointment to make sure that happens.

Here are our top tips to make sure your experience at Warren Tricomi is everything you want it to be:

1. Consider adding a pre-color treatment to your appointment.

Pre-color treatments are designed to remove excess buildup and discoloration, protect the scalp from itching, and reduce chemical damage to your hair. By creating an optimal base for color application, pre-color treatments ensure evenly deposited color, increase color retention, and enhance vibrancy.

That’s why we recommend adding our L’oreal Metal Detox or Clarifying Pre-Art Treatment to every color appointment.

2. Wash you hair 1-2 days before.

Hair should not be excessively dirty, sweaty or oily. Scrub gently to preserve the natural protective oil layer on your scalp which will act as a barrier against color chemicals.

3. Arrive with your hair in its natural state.

Avoid the use of hot tools, color and/or styling products that alter the shape and texture of your hair. Your natural hair is the perfect canvas for your colorist.

4. Bring inspiration — a picture is worth a thousand words!

Have a few realistic options for your hair goal. We can help get you there but everyone’s terminology for explaining color is totally different so photos can help us see eye to eye. Your colorist will be able to tell you if the desired look is possible, how many sessions it will take, and what type of maintenance to expect.

5. Consider a haircut to get rid of dry or damaged ends.

Keeping hair in great condition with a fresh cut will ensure the ends of your hair take on color with the same intensity as the rest of the hair shaft. Plus, removing any brittle ends will show off your new tone in the best way!

6. Last, but not least, show up with a sense of adventure.

Give your colorist enough creative freedom to do what they think is best for you and your hair, but also give them enough information to get your color right in the first place. Remember, at the end of the day, it’s hair color—it can always be fixed, toned, or otherwise altered if it doesn’t turn out how you envisioned.

There you have it! We hope these tips help you on your journey to achieving and maintaining healthy, gorgeous hair.

We’ll see you soon!
