Hair Colorist in Centennial, Colorado

About this service

That means the same request can go three different ways. "I want to be blonder" for someone with fine, previously-colored hair is a different plan than for someone with thick virgin hair. Niki plans for where your hair is now and where it needs to be in six months, not just for the end of the appointment.

Most of her color clients land somewhere between a root touch-up and a full dimensional appointment, and a good share are in the $250–$500 range for larger color work.

Why clients choose Niki for this

• Twenty-plus years of formulation experience, including work that started in Cherry Creek at Blondies.
• She reads hair history before she mixes — old box color, henna, previous lightening and water quality all change the plan.
• Toning is treated as its own craft. The gloss at the end is often what makes color look expensive.
• Every appointment ends with a maintenance plan, not a guess.

Who it's best for

• You want color designed for you rather than a menu item
• Your color has gone brassy, flat or uneven and you want it dialed back in
• You're covering gray and want it to look natural, not solid
• You want dimension that grows out without a shelf

Maintenance

• Roots: 4–6 weeks for solid coverage; longer if you're wearing a softer root.
• Gloss refresh: around 6–8 weeks keeps tone from drifting warm.
• Full dimensional color: 10–14 weeks when the placement was built for grow-out.
• Use a sulfate-free shampoo and rinse cooler; Colorado water is hard on tone.
