If you’re thinking about going gray from dyed hair, one of the first questions your friends will ask you is, “why don’t you just go to the salon and have them dye your hair silver?”
It sounds like a delightfully easy solution, right? But going gray at the salon isn’t as simple as that. It works really well for some women, while others end up with severely damaged hair (or hair loss).
As a brunette, I was afraid of possible damage, so I grew out my hair color cold turkey. That route is definitely not for everyone, and one of my goals on this blog is to present you with ALL your options for going gray.
An Introduction to Color Lounge Tell us about your salon, when you started and how long you’ve been doing gray hair transitions. Grace: We opened The Color Lounge in 2014 and we’ve been doing gray transitions a little longer. We started to get a word-of-mouth following for gray transitions.
Do you think salons across the country might have become more open to the idea of gray hair since more women went gray during the pandemic? Grace: I do think it’s more accepted now because young people like it. And the going gray community…there’s more support and groups.
Especially with [the pandemic], a lot of people couldn’t color their hair, so there were definitely a lot of grow outs. People …couldn’t get a hold of their hairdresser, so they needed to go low maintenance.
