You may have noticed recently we changed our menu to add and take away a few services. One of our recently added services is “Lived in Color” and you may have seen this phrase thrown around online as well, so what exactly is it? The team here at Pompadours Salon in Boulder Colorado broke it down so you can make the right choice for you!

Lived-in color is a low maintenance, high-end hair coloring technique designed to look natural, sun kissed, and effortless. Lived in color is the end look utilizing techniques such as strategic foiling placements, balayage, teasy-lights, babylights, root smudging, and various other blending techniques that creates beautiful results that last longer!

One of the things that keep people coming back to lived in color is the fact that the upkeep is minimal. Rather than a traditional root retouch that you need too keep up every 4-6 weeks, utilizing these techniques means that you can go between 4-8 MONTHS before your next lived in color application.

The first application is a little bit more of a time investment up front, you can expect to be in the chair for a couple of hours for your first application. Make sure to bring something to read or do while you are here for your first transformation. 4-6 hours twice a year saves more time that 90 minutes every 4-6 weeks.

So what is better for you? Lived in Color or Traditional color?

  • If you want low maintenance and a natural aesthetic, lived-in color may be your perfect match. Lived-in color techniques, like balayage, are great for achieving a graceful grow-out, making it ideal for those who prefer not to visit the salon too often. At Pompadours Hair Salon, our experienced stylists take into account your natural hair color and undertones to create a seamless blend that enhances your features.
  • If you prefer a polished, uniform look or need full gray coverage, traditional color is a great choice. This option suits anyone looking for more color control and consistency. For instance, those who enjoy vibrant colors or classic, single-shade styles can achieve stunning, head-turning results with traditional color.
