We recommend the Kerastase Densitive daily nutrients which help maintain scalp microcirculation at the hair bulb, which helps maintain a healthy scalp while making the hair thicker and denser. You could also try the Kerastase Bain Densitive GL shampoo and styling spray which helps add substance, texture and volume to thinning hair.    « less

A curl crème would be best because it spreads evenly throughout the hair without having to use a lot of product. The Bumble and Bumble Curl Defining Crème is a great product for this!   « less

A shorter haircut would be best, but be careful not to have too many layers because it would make your hair look even thinner. While hair is wet, blowdry the hair opposite the way you would wear it (opposite from the way you part it). When it's about 80% dry you can then use a round brush, taking sections and lifting the hair up at the root, which will also help build volume and thickness. For styling, spray Kerastase Volumactive Spray or Volumactive Mousse at the root when the hair is wet. Also use Kerastase Volumactive Shampoo and Conditioner.    « less

Well I can't speak for the pricing structure at other salons. I can tell you we offer a wide range of prices based on the experience, education and skill level of the stylist. The more advanced stylists are naturally a little more, but there are a number of great stylists who are just starting their career and offer a quality service for a great price. Another option would be to discuss your concerns with your stylist and see if there are other services they can offer that still meet your needs but at a lower price. Ultimately, it's your decision as to whether the service you receive meets or exceeds the price you pay. Your hair is an important accessory. Unlike handbags, shoes or jewelry, it's the one thing you have to wear every day. Feel free to stop by the salon for a free consultation at any time.    « less

A brightener is a brief process that slightly lightens or "brightens" the natural color of the hair. It is usually performed in conjunction with a highlight service to blend the natural color with the new highlights.    « less

No, not neccessarily! Suitability is key. Shorter styles are often easier to maintain, which means they fit our busier lifestyles. However, that doesn't mean you have to wear it that way. We always consider lifestyle, faceshape and willingness to maintain when choosing the right look. A longer look could be perfect for you, especially if you're instructed how to style it to fit your lifestyle. Give us a call. We'd be happy to make some suggestions.    « less

I would try a multi-faceted approach. First, start with a deep conditioning in-salon treatment such as Kerastase Vita Ciment. It's an intense reconstructive treatment for weakened hair. You'll notice results almost instantly. Follow that with daily use of the Kerastase Bain De Force Shampoo and Substance Constructive leave-in conditioner. It's a fortifying treatment for hair weakened by color or perms. Both are available here at Salon Visage. Then after a few weeks if you're still seeing some damage, you can go in and trim that up without having to cut it all off.    « less

Yes. When the hair becomes more grey, most of the time the texture will change. The cuticle is open to deposit color on the hair, therefore you will lose moisture and protein -- things the hair needs. Be sure to keep up with moisturizing treatments, which will also make the color last longer and look richer!   « less

What works best is to put in some type of volumizer while wet (Tonic or Boost by BioEssence). Spray at the root for Boost; Tonic can be used all over. Once dry, use a paste or mud (Shaping Paste by Shu Uemura or Mud by BioEssence). Make sure to rub the product thoroughly in the palms of your hands before applying; start with the ends of the hair and work it in all over. Finish with Volumizer hairspray by BioEssence for a strong, flexible hold.    « less

If your concern is for the integrity and condition of the hair, four weeks should be plenty. Also if you're goal is to add color and not to do any more highlights or "stripping" you won't be damaging the hair anyway. Adding pigment to the hair doesn't damage it; only pulling it out does. Now that's to say nothing of the current condition of your hair. If you went through a complete color correction, you should consider a restructuring treatment to add health and moisture back such as one of our deep conditioning treatments from Kerastase. Ask for it on your next appointment and good luck!   « less
