The Fabulous World of Ombre

Ombre with Glamourous

"Ombre" is a French word that signifies ” graduation, shadow.” In color terminology, it describes the graduation of color from dark roots to light ends. Ombre is sexy, sensual, versatile, easy to maintain, need I say more! It was laying low for quite some time and thanks to us (creative colorists) and celebrities showing it off, Ombre is here to stay. It's become one of the most requested color service in salons. Few, however, can perform this technique.

Be cautious when selecting the salon or the colorist. Don't be afraid to ask questions and to ask for pictures of their "Ombre" work.

As you can see in my picture, a great "Ombre" technique does not show lines of demarcations. Instead, color is diffused to blend mid-lengths with the the roots. In this manner, you do not see where the graduation of color really begins. It's like nature made.

Like any other color service, if it is not done right, it will not look right. Be diligent and good luck .

Home Hair Coloring: Tips on How to Reduce Your Anxiety and Increase Your Confidence

We take pride on being self-sufficient. In fact, as parents we encourage our children to be independent from a very early age. Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects are increasingly becoming more and more like a staple for cautious spending. As a colorist, I do not condemn the use of store bought color. I believe people have needs and sometimes their resources cannot fully meet them. Another driving force to an increase in DIY home coloring, is today's economy and the Covid-19 Pandemic. Many men and women are finding very difficult to see their stylists on a regular basis, so they take the DIY challenge to save money and time. However, with any undertaken challenge comes a mixture of emotions. Going to a drug store to choose the perfect hair color shade can be a very daunting experience. The biggest obstacle for women (and men) is choosing the right shade. Manufacturers do a fantastic campaign job ( with high profile mo...
