Grey blending for you could mean bold silver streaks, highlights, or even a vibrant gloss treatment to amplify your natural beauty. Expect more frequent salon visits to maintain your high-impact look, but the result will be totally worth it.
If you got mostly B’s: You’re the "Silver Coaching" Persona.
You’re tentative and need a little hand-holding. You’re not quite ready for a major transformation but are curious about what grey blending could do for you. This is where "Silver Coaching" comes in.

If you got mostly D’s: You’re the "Realist" Persona.
You’ve been using box dye, especially dark colors, and you're facing the reality that this won’t be an overnight transformation. Grey blending may be a great option for you, but there are limitations to be mindful of.

We’ll create a strategy together, keeping your expectations realistic, and gently guide your hair to a more natural look.
If you got mostly E’s: You’re the "Fun with Less Fuss" Persona.
You love experimenting with color but want less maintenance. Grey blending is perfect for you because it allows for creativity while softening the lines of regrowth. Whether it’s playing with pastels or embracing soft silvers, you can still have fun with your look without committing to constant upkeep. We’ll find a balance between keeping your style fresh and making the process as low-maintenance as possible.
Considerations for Each Persona:
"Go For It" Persona:
Expect high maintenance but a bold, eye-catching style. Consider silver highlights or gloss treatments to give your grey that extra sparkle.
"Silver Coaching" Persona:
We’ll take things slow and work together to build your confidence in the process. Grey blending will be gradual, helping you feel more secure every step of the way.
"Empowered" Persona:
This is your chance to challenge outdated beauty standards and embrace grey with pride. Artistic placements or bold contrasts may be your go-to.
"Realist" Persona:
Transitioning from years of box dye can be tricky. Grey blending will soften the harsh line between your grey and colored hair, but managing expectations is important. This journey will require patience, and maintaining a natural look will take time.

You don’t have to give up playing with color! Grey blending lets you explore fun shades and styles while reducing the need for frequent touch-ups.
