At-home hair color might save time and money upfront, but you can easily end up with uneven tones, damage, or unexpected results if you don’t have the proper tools and experience.

Our stylists at Lemon Tree Hair Salons use salon-grade Paul Mitchell products and apply color with care and precision. You’ll get consistent results that keep your hair looking and feeling healthy.

Highlighting and coloring can be done in a single appointment, as long as your hair is healthy and in good condition. If your hair has been previously damaged or recently colored, combining services may not be the best option. Our stylists will assess the current condition of your hair to help you choose the right service for strong, healthy, beautifully colored hair.

After coloring your hair, wait 24 to 48 hours before shampooing to let the color fully set. This helps prevent early fading. To keep your color vibrant, limit washing to 2–3 times a week and use a color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner.

For healthy colored hair, limit heat styling, use a thermal protectant when needed, and incorporate a deep conditioning treatment once a week to restore moisture. Your Lemon Tree Hair Salons stylist can recommend the best products and care tips to keep your color looking fresh between visits.

A semi-permanent hair dye will not damage your hair as it is only depositing color onto the outside of the hair strand, similar to a demi-permanent dye. However, using a permanent hair treatment opens up the hair layers to deposit color. If this process is not done properly, or if it is done too frequently, it can cause damage.

It is best to talk to the professionals at Lemon Tree Hair Salons to make sure your hair is healthy and can handle a color treatment.

In some cases, professional high-lift color can provide subtle lightening without the use of bleach, especially on lighter or untreated hair. For more noticeable results, bleach is usually the most effective method. Our stylists are trained to assess your hair’s condition and choose the safest lightening technique to protect your hair while achieving your desired result.

Hair coloring during pregnancy is considered safe, especially when using professional products and techniques. Many expectant mothers choose to continue coloring their hair with no issues.

We recommend speaking with your doctor first to make sure you feel comfortable. If you still have questions, feel free to reach out to our stylists. They’ll be happy to talk through your options and help you choose the safest approach for you and your baby.

Professional color works very well on grey hair. Some clients prefer full coverage, while others choose to blend their greys or soften them with a natural-looking shade. Our stylists are experienced in working with all hair types and textures, and we use professional formulas to achieve rich, long-lasting results.
