About Color Trends

Color is what The Look is known for, and this is where our color specialists break down the techniques and shades we're seeing requested most in Glendale this season. Balayage, ombré, lived-in brunettes, high-lift blondes, copper, and the cooler ash tones — what each one actually is, who it suits, and how much maintenance it really takes.

We write these so you can walk into a consultation already knowing the vocabulary and the trade-offs: how a technique grows out, how often you'll need a gloss or a root touch-up, and whether your current base will hold the color you want without a multi-session lift.
