Is It Time to Transition to Lower-Maintenance Color?
If you’re tired of frequent root touch-ups, the dreaded “skunk stripe,” or feeling like you’re always chasing your last color appointment… you’re not alone. Many of my clients are looking for a way to love their hair without feeling chained to the salon schedule. Whether you're starting to notice more grey or just want a softer grow-out, transitioning to lower-maintenance color might be your next best move.
What Does “Lower-Maintenance Color” Actually Mean?
Lower-maintenance color doesn’t mean giving up looking polished or professional—it means your hair is designed with your life in mind.
This includes:
Strategic grey blending for a seamless grow-in
Dimensional tones that fade softly and naturally
Custom color techniques that stretch the time between appointments
Glosses and tonal refreshes that keep your look intentional, not overdone
Whether or not you’re going grey, there are beautiful, customized ways to shift your color plan so it works for you—not the other way around.
Blending vs. Transitioning—What’s the Difference?
Both of these paths are available at Hair by Kelly St Claire, but they serve different goals. Here’s how to tell which one might be right for you:
The Custom Color Session
Perfect if you:
Want to blend grey or refresh color without a big transformation
Are craving a dimensional, soft grow-out
Still want color, but need a more sustainable maintenance plan
Love the idea of a beautiful in-between option
The Transition Session
Perfect if you:
Are ready to embrace your natural grey
Feel done with the every-4-week color cycle
Want a full strategy and emotional support along the way
Are looking for freedom from root regrowth and box dye frustration
