Sophisticated cooler brunettes and blondes, and striking reds.
Color Trend #1: Redheads: Today’s redhead trends are more sophisticated, and playful with their beautiful shade, and warm shades that flicker depth and dimension on an intense base and golden highlights. In addition shades of red, from burgundy and strawberry blonde to copper brown and auburn are the trends for 2010.
Color Trend #2: Brunettes: Always in vogue, brunettes will go to a whole new level for 2010 with an overall cooler base. For the perfect tone-on-tone brunette, get subtle golden highlights painted on top of a light but warm brunette base. To add depth, a slightly darker color at the roots and under layers will do the trick.
Color Trend #3: Blondes: Blondes will be rich for 2010. One of the most popular blondes of the moment is an expensive look with natural finish, by weaving different shades of blonde, from sable, mink and vanilla through the hair. The new blonde is always paired with lowlights. Tone-on-tone coloring - like blonde on blonde - this adds smart sophistication to any shading.
To complete the 2010 hair color story, the use of gloss helps to increase shine.
Remember that good communication with your colorist is essential for getting the color you want. A few minutes of pre-salon prep can help you explain your goals, and ensure that your colorist understands your desired result.
Things to know before you go to hair salon and speak to your colorist:
- Try to walk into the salon with your everyday "look," so your colorist can get a feel for what you're comfortable with.
- Your colorist is there to work with you to achieve beautiful color. The more you can explain what you want, the better the collaboration will be.
- If you are going in for "corrective color" - to correct color results you are unhappy with from a prior coloring experience - be prepared for a longer visit, as your colorist may need to remove old color and then recolor your hair.
- Bring your inspiration: Photographs and examples of hair color you love will help you and your colorist explore your color options.
- Know your history: Be prepared to tell your colorist about any prior color services, whether it was highlights last year or a color gloss last month.
- Trust your colorist: Listen to your colorist's expert opinion. During your color consultation, he or she will consider your desired result, then evaluate your hair's condition and look at your skin tone and coloring in order to create your custom color formulation.
Ask questions: If you hear a color term you don't understand, don't hesitate to ask your colorist for an explanation. Remember to inquire about maintenance - how often you'll need to return to the salon for touchups and how to best maintain your color at home between visits.

The Keratin Treatment is a semi-permanent treatment that is protein based. It will rebuild the hair, seal the cuticle and protect it from the elements. It is not meant to be permanent because the bonds are not being broken or re-arranged by harsh chemicals; therefore if you want to maintain the Keratin Treatment look you will have to have it done about every four months. The more damaged the hair, the better the results with the Keratin process and repeated applications will make the hair silkier and smoother. You may have the Keratin Treatment done if you have previously had your hair relaxed or straightened by a Japanese straightening system and your result will be soft, shiny and straight. This process can also be done if you have colored or highlighted hair. Keratin is the safest solution on the market to help you achieve healthy, soft, shiny, straight hair.
Keratin is an extremely strong protein, which is a major component in skin, hair, nails, and teeth. The amino acids, which combine to form keratin, have several unique properties, and depending on the levels of the various amino acids, keratin can be as soft, as skin or hair. Keratin has a strong protective quality that improves the hair both on the inside and the outside. It is virtually a liquid form of hair and brings back the strength and quality that your hair has been lacking. Keratin is a type of protein that is tough, elastic and insoluble.
Why the Solace Day Spa and Salon Does Not Use Any Product with Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a chemical compound, which is widely used, in industrial manufacturing and a number of other industries. This chemical is toxic, known to cause cancer and varieties of other health problems, and for this reason, most people make an effort to avoid formaldehyde.
High levels of formaldehyde exposure can lead to cancer in the long term, and respiratory problems, skin conditions, and inflammation of the mucus membranes in the short term. Formaldehyde allergies can also cause serious health problems. This chemical is especially dangerous for children.
For this reason, the Solace Day Spa and Salon only uses formaldehyde free hair straightening products. We use Keratin Treatments that are organic and safe.
