Seeking Hair Stylists with Colouring Expertise!

Does anyone know how to completly cover gray roots (without seeing the colour difference between your hair and the roots) in the finished look. Regardless of what expensive hairdresser I go to, not one has been able to match the roots to the rest of the head. They always remain lighter. I have also tried pre softening the roots w/peroxide before colouring but to no avail. HELP!

What can I do next?

I second Tiffany at LA Hair Studio. She's terrific and very affordable. I have no gray roots when she'd finished with me. Now, of course, the gray roots begin to show a little when the hair grows out; but, Tiffany takes care of me each month and the gray only shows a little and for a little while.

Give her a call! You'll love her and so will your pocketbook!

Try Habitude Salon at the Locks in Ballard. John is their education director and a fantastic stylist with 20 or 30 years experience. You may need to get all-over color the first time and then touch up the gray, but he will take great care of you.

Victoria is a bit too long of a drive. Is your stylest only covering the gray roots and not dying the entire hair?!?!?! they should do the whole hair. Think about if you touched up paint on a wall.You will always be able to tell espically if its a big patch or all the trim (roots). Sun fades things your hair included. I think you need to do the whole head of hair to get the matching your looking for.

A good hairdresser should be able to, that's pretty basic. Roots take the color differently. I started going gray at 19 so I've been coloring my own hair mostly for 25 years. If you're going to remove the color first with bleach, which I do a couple times a year, you have to do pretty much the whole head, or else in streaks from roots to tip. Then apply the color you want - I like an ash shade of blonde & bleaching alone gives me bicycle-messenger orange. I'm fanatic about roots showing, so I touch up once a month. There's some good products out there, Natural Match being one. Be very careful not to do highlights too close to the head - start an inch or two out. And don't let the bleach get on the surrounding hair., or have globs that give it away as a home job - wrap the pieces in foil. Good Luck
