Having a blow-dry after your haircut or colour service is an essential step in achieving the best results and overall experience.
Here are some reasons why:

• Enhanced Styling: A blow-dry allows our stylists to shape and style your hair to perfection. Whether you prefer sleek and straight, voluminous waves, or a bouncy blowout, a professional blow-dry ensures your haircut or colour looks its absolute best.
• Showcasing Your Colour: After a colour service, a blow-dry helps to reveal the true vibrancy and depth of your new shade. The heat from the blow dryer activates the shine and enhances the overall appearance of the colour, allowing you to see the full effect of your service.
• Sealing in Moisture: Blow-drying helps to seal the hair cuticles, locking in moisture and colour. This is especially important after colouring, as it can help prevent fading and keep your hair looking fresh and vibrant for longer.
• Long-Lasting Results: A professional blow-dry ensures that your style is set and lasts longer. It helps to create a smooth finish and provides added hold, so you can enjoy your new look without worrying about frizz or drooping.
• Boosting Confidence: Leaving the salon with a beautifully styled blow-dry not only enhances your overall look but also boosts your confidence. It’s the perfect way to showcase your new haircut or colour and makes you feel like a million dollars.

At Phase 2.0 Hair Lounge, we believe that a blow-dry is not just an add-on service but a vital part of the haircut and colour experience. Our skilled stylists are dedicated to ensuring you leave the salon feeling and looking your best.

Toning is the key to keeping your colour looking fresh, vibrant, and free of unwanted brassy or yellow tones. Whether you've had balayage, highlights, or a full blonde transformation, a toner is essential immediately after your colour service to perfect the shade and achieve the desired tone. Our Phase 2.0 colourists expertly apply toners to balance undertones, neutralise warmth, and leave you with a flawless finish.
In addition to the initial application, toning is recommended around 6 weeks after your colour service. This refreshes and revives your colour without needing a full touch-up, prolonging the life of your balayage, highlights, or platinum blonde. Toners not only adjust colour but also add extra shine, leaving your hair looking healthy and glossy.
To keep your shade looking its best, we suggest regular toning sessions every 4-6 weeks, along with a personalised at-home care routine using toning shampoos or conditioners. This helps maintain your colour’s vibrancy between appointments.

When it comes to achieving a flawless hair colour, understanding the nuances between techniques can make all the difference. At Phase 2.0 Hair Lounge, we offer various root techniques to enhance your colour service. Here’s a breakdown of three popular methods: root tap, root melt, and root drag.

• Root Tap: This technique involves applying a slightly darker shade or a colour that matches your natural roots at the base of the hair. The goal of a root tap is to create a seamless transition between your natural colour and your highlights or balayage. It softens the contrast, making regrowth less noticeable and allowing for a more blended, natural look.
• Root Melt: A root melt combines different shades to create a soft, blended effect at the roots. This technique is perfect for clients who want a subtle transition from their natural colour to lighter ends. The stylist uses a darker shade at the roots and gradually blends it into a lighter hue, creating a soft ombre effect. This approach adds depth and dimension while maintaining a harmonious appearance.
• Root Drag: Root drag is a technique where the colour is 'dragged' down from the roots for a more elongated, diffused look. This method works well for creating a lived-in colour effect, where the roots are slightly darker and gradually blend into lighter mid-lengths and ends. Root drag is ideal for those who prefer a softer, more natural grow-out with less maintenance.

A money piece refers to a section of hair, typically located at the front or around the face, that is highlighted or coloured in a way that draws attention to the face. This technique enhances the overall look and can create a bright, youthful appearance.
Here are some key points about the money piece:

• Placement: The money piece is usually placed around the face, often in the bangs or framing sections, to highlight and brighten the features.
• Contrast: It is often a lighter shade than the rest of the hair, creating a striking contrast. This can be achieved through techniques like balayage, foiling, or even fashion colours.
• Versatility: A money piece can be incorporated into various hairstyles and colour combinations, making it a versatile option for anyone looking to refresh their look.
• Maintenance: Depending on the desired effect, the money piece may require regular touch-ups to maintain brightness and contrast, but it can also grow out gracefully, making it a low-maintenance option for some.
• Styling: The money piece can be styled in various ways, whether left natural, curled, or straightened, making it a fun addition to your hair colour.

Toning is the key to keeping your colour looking fresh, vibrant, and free of unwanted brassy or yellow tones.
