Grey Blending • Gloss • Coverage • Shine

At The Co-Artist Studio in Capitola, we believe color should enhance your natural beauty — not overpower it. Our goal is to create soft, radiant color that fits effortlessly into your lifestyle. From subtle grey blending to rich all-over tones, each service is thoughtfully customized to your hair type, color history, and desired result.

Every appointment includes a professional consultation, custom gloss, and blowout finish for a polished, healthy look that shines long after your visit.

Grey Blending & Gloss (Root Touch-Up & Gloss)

For soft, natural coverage that grows out beautifully.
This demi-permanent, ammonia-free color service gently blends grey hair for up to 70% coverage, creating a seamless, low-maintenance result without harsh lines. Finished with a shine-boosting gloss and smooth blowout, this service is perfect for clients who want to soften their greys rather than fully cover them.

Recommended Maintenance: Every 6–8 weeks

Grey Full Coverage & Gloss

For 100% coverage and lasting confidence.
A classic root touch-up designed to deliver complete grey coverage for a uniform, polished finish. Followed by a custom gloss and blowout for added shine and softness.
Options are available with or without ammonia — simply let your stylist know your preference.

Recommended Maintenance: Every 3–4 weeks

Gloss / Glaze / Toner

Your instant refresh between color services.
A quick, semi-permanent treatment that enhances tone, adds dimension, and restores brilliance to dull strands. Infused with moisture, this gloss leaves your hair silky, luminous, and refreshed — perfect between appointments or as a standalone shine service.

Recommended Maintenance: Every 4–6 weeks

All-Over Color

Rich, even tone from roots to ends.
A single shade is applied throughout the hair for a cohesive, vibrant result. Ideal for clients looking to go richer, darker, or slightly lighter while maintaining shine and softness. Includes a conditioning treatment and professional blow-dry finish.

Recommended Maintenance: Every 6–8 weeks

FAQs

  • Arrive with clean, dry hair (no heavy oils or styling products). Bring inspo photos and your color history so we can customize your formula.

  • Grey Blending uses a demi-permanent, ammonia-free formula to softly blend greys (up to ~70% coverage) with a natural grow-out. Grey Full Coverage is a permanent root touch-up designed for up to 100% coverage and a uniform, polished result.

    • Grey Blending & Gloss: every 6–8 weeks

    • Grey Full Coverage & Gloss: every 3–4 weeks

    • Gloss / Glaze / Toner: every 4–6 weeks

    • All Over Color: every 6–8 weeks

  • Yes. We offer both with and without ammonia. Tell your stylist your preference during consultation.

  • With Grey Full Coverage, a line of demarcation (the point where your natural color meets the new growth) can appear as the hair grows in. Booking touch-ups every 3–4 weeks helps maintain a seamless, polished result with minimal visible regrowth.

  • Most color services take about 1.5 hours. If your hair is longer, thicker, or requires more product and processing time, your appointment may run a bit longer. Your stylist will give you a more accurate estimate during consultation.

  • Our service rate reflects stylist time & artistry. Product is a separate, usage-based charge so you only pay for what your hair actually needs.
