Boise Hair Salon Tips For Men

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

Maintaining and taking care of your hair is essential when it comes to appearing polished and professional. However, not all men consider hair care a top priority. That’s why unDONE Salon would like to help Treasure Valley men maintain sleek, stylish hair to allow you to make a fantastic impression on everyone you meet with the following hair care tips for men.

Use The Right Shampoo & Conditioner

In order to take excellent care of your hair between salon visits, you will want to ensure you are using the right products that are targeted specifically to your hair type and style. For example, if you tend to have dry hair, you probably need to be using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. By working with your Boise hair salon stylist to choose the right shampoo and conditioner, you will notice a dramatic difference in the health of your hair.

Ask About The Right Styling Products

Along with using the right shampoo and conditioner to maintain the health of your hair, it’s just as important to ask your Boise hair salon stylist about the styling products you should be using when you get ready in the morning. Certain gels or mousses can be used to hold your style in place while providing moisture and nutrition.

Visit Your Boise Hair Salon Regularly

Getting your hair cut and styled regularly is an important part of hair care. When you get a haircut, your Boise hair salon stylist will be able to remove any dead or split ends that are weighing your hairstyle down. In addition, you won’t have to struggle with a grown out look and can ask for a deep conditioning treatment when you are at unDONE Salon.

If you are ready to book your next haircut, be sure to get in contact with the Boise hair salon stylists at unDONE. As your leading Treasure Valley hair salon, we offer quality styling and coloring services for both men and women in our local area. For more information, contact us at (208) 287-2010 or book online.

How Lighting Affects The Outcome Of Your Hair Color

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

We’ve all been there. You leave a Boise hair salon with a fabulous new hair color, only to start freaking out about how different it looks at home. In the salon, your wonderful color seemed like it was a whole different tone. What gives?

At unDONE Salon, we’ve heard this before. That’s why we’d like to take some time to discuss how different lighting affects the outcome of your hair color.

Natural Light Vs. Artificial Light

To be blunt, it’s important to understand that you are NEVER going to look exactly the same in every single light. This includes natural and artificial sunlight.

At the salon, the best way to get an accurate impression of your new hair color is to ask your stylist for a hand mirror and find some natural light by going outside or standing near a window. If you like how it looks, you’ll probably like it everywhere.

What you don’t want to do is ask your stylist to fix your hair color in a way it won’t look different in the sunlight. Nobody can change the way you look in natural light. The sun is the sun…

Don’t Trust Instagram

Often we have clients bring in a picture of their favorite celebrity that’s taken under professional lights and they think their hair color looks a specific shade. What people often don’t realize is that there is a wide variety of different lights that can make your hair appear darker or lighter. Even more, a flash can drastically change the appearance of a celebrities hair and dim lighting can give it a warmer effect. But that’s not what their hair actually looks like.

While we love it when our clients bring in a picture to show us what their hoping to achieve, the catch here is lighting. Don’t get us wrong, pictures help us tremendously. However, if the picture is taken outside, it’s going to have a different tone than if it was taken inside. The same principle applies whether a picture was taken in a bathroom, kitchen or under fluorescent lights in a grocery store. When you are talking to your Boise hair salon stylist during a consultation, make sure to mention anything you may or may not like about a certain color from the picture you are showing them.

unDONE Salon

So remember, lighting really does make a big difference in the outcome of your desired hair color. That’s why communication is key to achieving the desired look you want. So get that picture ready and book your appointment at unDONE Salon online or by calling us at (208) 287-2010.

Boise Hair Salon Tips: 4 Things You Should Never Do

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

We’d all like to think our Boise hair salon stylist is a magical genie who can grant any sort of hair wish. However, it’s important to remember that stylists are only human and can’t transform your tresses with the flick of a wand. Even more, it’s important to be realistic about your expectations and see eye-to-eye with your stylist. That’s why unDONE would like to provide you with the following five things you should never do when visiting the salon.

Don’t Lie About Your Hair History

There’s probably nothing more irritating than dealing with a client that lies about previous dye jobs they may have had in the past. Whether you’ve had your hair professionally colored or you made the mistake of dying it yourself, it’s extra important to be honest about your past color history.

Lying about your color history can leave you with unpredictable results in the salon. Even the most well-trained professional can’t provide you with the desired look you are hoping to achieve if you lie. This is because colors can overlap and previous dye jobs can interact with each other leaving you with unpredictable results.

Don’t Have Unrealistic Expectations

While visuals can be very helpful when it comes to showing your stylist what you are hoping to achieve, it’s important not to have unrealistic expectations. For example, just because your favorite celebrity went platinum blonde doesn’t mean you’ll get the same dramatic bleached effect. That’s because most celebrity photos have been filtered and edited so the photo itself isn’t real.

Similarity, the same concept applies to haircuts as you may have a different face shape and features than your favorite celebrity. Since we all have different head shapes, face shapes, features, hair texture, and color, one style can look completely different on someone else.

Don’t Show Up Late & Expect A Full Service

Another irritating thing many Boise hair salon stylists have to deal with is clients showing up late but expecting a full service. A stylists schedule is booked with other clients other than just you and showing up late can really throw off our workflow which can affect the results of your desired look. While we do our best to help you achieve the look you want, we can’t do it if we don’t have the appropriate amount of time.

Don’t Resistant Change

Change is to be expected whenever you desire a new haircut or color. For example, you can’t want a haircut but then tell your Boise hair salon stylist that you don’t want your hair to look shorter. Anytime you cut your hair, it gets shorter. Period. You also don’t want to give your stylist mixed messages by backing out of changes you’ve agreed to halfway through the process.

unDONE Salon

Being be realistic about your expectations and seeing eye-to-eye with your stylist is extremely important. That’s why unDONE Salon, offers personalized consultations. This allows us to discuss your expectations, establish the length of time needed for the service and gather history about your hair that will affect the outcome of your desired style. A consultation will also provide you with the opportunity to discuss the cost of your desired service since there are many different styles we can help you achieve depending on your wants and needs.

Boise Hair Salon Tips: Why You Should NEVER Use Box Dye

/0 Comments/in , , /by

It takes years for a Boise hair salon stylist to master the art of coloring. Formulas, ratios, hair type and condition as wells as previous colors and products are all factors that must be taken into consideration. That’s why a qualified stylist always provides you with a free consultation before settling on a specific look. Even more, it can take one or more appointments to achieve a certain color(s).

As professional stylists, it’s very frustrating when we see advertisements in magazines or on the television of well-known celebrities with gorgeous hair, boosting they achieved their look from a box application. In fact, what they are telling you is a downright lie. While approximately 5% of people who use a box dye feel satisfied with the results the rest of us end up with unwanted tones, colors, and damaged hair.

That’s why there is nothing better than a free consultation at unDONE Salon to talk with one of our professional stylists who knows what they are doing. This will eliminate the stress of a botched dye job while allowing you to feel relaxed and happy about your new look.

Hair Color Should Match Your Skin Tone

When your Boise hair salon stylist mixes the perfect color for your hair, they consider your natural skin tone, hair type, condition, and other factors. Your ideal look will depend on a unique combination of these factors. As a one-size-fits-all solution, DIY box dye simply cannot take all of these elements into account.

Box Dye Cannot Provide Even Application

Unless you are a professional hair stylist, it’s almost impossible to achieve an even, well-balanced look on your own. To create a natural look, it’s essential that the color is applied precisely from the re-growth the demarcation line. Overlapping of color will lead to dark spots (banding) which looks unprofessional. Even worse, you can run out of box dye halfway through!

One Size Does Not Fit All

When you look at the color levels on a box of DIY dye, the achieved colors are based on virgin, non-colored hair. Even more, when your Boise hair salon stylist colors your hair they can often use up to 10 different colors to create a unique, custom hair color just for you. You don’t want a one-size-fits-all solution when choosing your hair color.  

Box Dye Is Extremely Damaging

Most DIY box dyes contain harsh ingredients that can strip your hair and leave it irreparably damaged. When a professional stylist chooses their formulas, they do it using the lowest peroxide to achieve tone while minimizing damage. We also use important products after your hair color to balance PH levels while locking in color to prevent it from fading. Box dyes can leave your hair looking and feeling like straw. Even wore, once your hair has been destroyed it can take a lot of time and money to repair it.

The Color On The Box Isn’t Always What You Get

We’ve all done it – standing in front of a selection of box dyes with a million hair color ideas spinning through our heads. It’s exciting! However, it’s important not to be fooled by the color on the box. In fact, it’s not uncommon for a color to turn out completely opposite of what it was supposed to be. This can leave you with dark, orange, or yellow hair. Do you really want to take that chance?  

It Will Cost You More In The Long Run

That $10 box dye won’t feel very affordable after a $150 color correction on your orange or yellow hair. Even more, prices can vary depending on your hair type and how long of duration the service is needed. Do your wallet and your hair a favor. Don’t cheap out on a seemingly affordable solution that will end up costing you much, much more in the long run.

unDONE Salon

At unDONE Salon, we can’t stress enough the importance of seeking professional advice and services when you are looking to color your hair. With so many fantastic treatments, styles and products to choose from, it would be a shame not too. For more tips on coloring your hair, contact us at (208) 287-2010 today. Our Boise hair salon stylists would be more than happy to share our wealth of knowledge and schedule an appointment over the phone.

Book Your Graduation Appointment at unDONE Salon!

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

It’s the moment you’ve been planning and working so hard for over the years — the day you graduate from high school. Now is the time to get ready to celebrate! To help you get ready for graduation, unDONE Salon is here to help. That’s why our Boise hair salon stylists, nail technicians, and skincare experts want to provide you with the following tips to help you stand out at graduation.

Find the Perfect Shoes

Graduation gowns aren’t always the most flattering thing to wear. But who cares! Wear that gown and cap proudly! However, if you want to spruce up your look & showcase your personality find the perfect shoes to compliment your ceremony garb. Whether you wear fun strappy heels or athletic shoes signed by all your friends, you can be sure this is a detail you don’t want to overlook.

Get the Perfect Hairstyle

Finding the perfect hairstyle to go with a graduation cap can be tricky. However, the Boise hair salon stylists at unDONE have a few tips when it comes to picture-perfect hair. If you have long hair, don’t be afraid to wear it down. You can also add some flare with a new, custom hair color or fashion color trend. If your hair is short, don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through with a fresh trim or custom cut. Just make sure that the hairstyle you choose looks good with and without your cap. After all, it will be coming off and soaring through the sky after the ceremony!

Add a Pop of Color to Your Makeup

Now that you’ve picked out the perfect shoes and hairstyle, don’t forget your makeup! Bold lip colors will help you stand out and look great for photos. Additionally, you may want to consider a smokey eye or a pop of shimmer to highlight your eyes. Just make sure the colors you choose complement the colors of your gown. You also don’t want your eyeshadow or lipstick to match the color of your robe.

Pick the Perfect Outfit

Even though you’ll be wearing your cap and gown throughout the ceremony, there will be plenty of celebrations afterward. If you want to look your best through the night, take the time to pick out the perfect party outfit to reveal at just the right moment. Doing so will make heads turn while keeping you picture perfect to remember your big day.

Decorate Your Cap!

The Ultimate Guide To Leaving Your Boise Hair Salon Happy

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

As Boise hair salon stylists at unDONE, we are extremely passionate about what we do. That’s why it’s very important to us to make sure our clients are always happy with the results of our work. Of course, when visiting unDONE, we always want to leave feeling like you’ve gotten your money’s worth with beautiful hair.

However, just like any other industry, we’ve learned that it’s impossible to please every single person who comes into our salon. If you’ve ever had a bad Boise hair salon experience, there can be several underlying reasons that may leave you unhappy with your service that doesn’t involve the technical skills of your stylist. That’s why we’d like to share some things from a stylists point of view that our clients can do to ensure they have a wonderful salon experience.

Do Your Research & Book A Consultation

It all starts before you ever step foot in our Boise hair salon. In fact, many of our clients find us on Instagram or Facebook. Here you can find some of our featured work and even pictures liked by your own friends. This allows our clients to gain a sense of trust and comfort with us before they ever walk into unDONE. By following our accounts, you can gather pictures of our stylists work before contacting us for a consultation appointment.

Once you book a consultation, we will then take into account your current hair and the desired results you would like to achieve. We will also go over your hair history, concerns, and what you’re hoping to achieve the day of your first visit. This consultation will allow us to schedule the appropriate time needed. There is nothing worse than having a new client schedule an appointment only to realize they need a major color correction or something that will take more time than an average client.

If you book a consultation, your Boise hair salon stylist can customize the length of your appointment based on your individual needs and ensure we both have enough time to achieve your hair goals.

Have Realistic Expectations

Having realistic expectations is extremely important when it comes to your hair. In fact, this is often the main reason clients leave a salon unhappy. Clients with dark hair, wanting to go lighter don’t always understand that the process often requires more than one visit. This can be due to a variety of reasons including the integrity of your hair, whether or not it’s possible, and if the color you want to achieve is obtainable.

During a consultation, we will also explain how long the process might take and hope you trust our professional recommendations. We never promise immediate results if we know it’s going to take some time to achieve. Keep in mind, we are professional Boise hair salon stylists, not magicians. That’s why it’s important to have realistic expectations, especially if you’ve been dying your own hair with box color for years.

This goes for blondes as well. Over the years, we’ve had several clients who want to go blonder and blonder with each and every visit until it’s just not healthy for their hair. While it comes down to personal preference, it’s important to listen to the advice of your Boise hair salon stylist if you want to maintain the integrity of your hair.

Not only is it important to be realistic, it’s also just as important to understand that not everyone’s hair is the same. While we can do our best to match a color in a picture, we can’t match it exactly if your hair’s type, texture, and style are different than the model or celebrity you love. That’s why you should do your research and try to find pictures of colors and cuts with people who that have similar features, skin tone, hair length, and density as your own. Also, it’s important to keep in mind that many of the pictures that you find online or in magazines have been filtered or photoshopped to make the models look perfect. Trust us on this one and always listen to the advice of your stylist about whether or not a style is achievable.

Relax And Let Us Do Our Job

Occasionally, we have clients who come into our Boise hair salon that just have a hard time relaxing or trusting our stylists with their hair. Rest assured that we understand trust issues, especially having fixed botched hair applications and listening to horror stories from our clients with other salons. However, if you’re overly cautious and nervous we hope you give us the benefit of the doubt in order to feel more comfortable. That’s why we post pictures of our work and make sure we see eye-to-eye with our clients about each and every service.

Keep in mind that we may not always feel comfortable explaining the technicalities of our work. That’s like asking a mechanic or an electrician for a complete, step-by-step process of their services. Not to mention being overly analytical during your service can throw us off, making us unable to perform our work to the best of our ability. Remember that every Boise hair salon stylist has different techniques they are good at. You also shouldn’t believe everything you read online and understand that no one has the exact same head of hair. Always trust your Boise hair salon stylist and allow them do their job. By doing so, you will boost their confidence and allow their creativity to flow! Some of our best work has been with clients who were open, trusting, and let us go to work.

Use The Products We Recommend

If your planning on investing the time and money into our services to obtain beautiful hair, you must invest in the quality, salon-grade products we recommend. As Boise hair salon stylists, we know what products will help keep your hair looking fabulous in-between appointments. Investing in high-quality products will also help you achieve better hair color results while keeping it healthy, shiny, and beautiful. It’s not our fault if your hair looks dry or feels damaged if you don’t use the products we recommend to fix it. If you want to feel 100% happy with your hair, you have to take care of it at home as well. We promise you will notice a difference when you switch from drugstore shampoo and conditioner to the salon products we offer!

In Summary…

At unDONE Salon, we love doing fun, creative things to our client’s hair! That’s why we want you to feel happy about your service each and every time you walk out of our salon with the guide we provided above. If you’re interested in trying out a new hairstyle or would like more information about the services we provide, contact us at (208) 287-2010 or schedule a consultation online. Our Boise hair salon stylists would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to helping you achieve the hair of your dreams!

Top 4 Reasons You Should Pre-Book An Appointment at unDONE Salon

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

Between work, family, and personal obligations, schedules can be tough. Even more, fitting everything in can sometimes seem impossible. What if we told you we could help take some of the load off your shoulders? This week’s blog is something that’s very near and dear to our hearts at unDONE Salon. Pre-booking your hair appointments! Although many of our clients do pre-book, some don’t because they don’t understand all the amazing benefits. That’s why we’d like to provide you with top 4 reasons you should pre-book from now on!

Your Time is Valuable

With so many things to do, pre-booking your hair appointment will cross one thing off your important list of things to do. When you book your next appointment before leaving our salon, you will get your choice of date and time. Not only will this help make scheduling easier for you but for your Boise hair salon stylist as well. When your stylist is present while you’re booking they can help dedicate the right amount of time depending on your personal cut, color, and style needs.

Busy Spring Season

Spring is often a busy season for many hairstylists because people are planning ahead for important events and holidays. From spring break vacations to Easter, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Father’s Day, and the 4th of July, stylists try to make themselves as available as possible but it’s still hard. Plus, you’re going to want to look your best at all times. Since you’ve got so many things going on this spring, the last thing you want to be concerned about is maintaining your cut or hair color. That’s why it’s important to get on our books as soon as possible so your not dealing with faded color or grown out hair.

Maintain Your Style

Maintaining your style is super important. When you pre-book your Boise hair salon appointment, you’re allowing your stylist to schedule your appointment as they see fit. As stylists, we can determine how fast your hair is growing or when you’ll need a color touch up in order to predict when your next appointment should be. This will save both of us from a huge headache down the road. When you pre-book an appointment, neither of us has to worry about your hair getting too long, full, or rooty. It will also be easier for you to style and maintain between appointments.

Budget Accordingly

From fashion hair colors to Balayage to Ombre, maintaining your hair color can come at a cost. When you pre-book your appointment, you’ll provide yourself with plenty of time to budget and save for your next service. A $100 dollar hair service won’t seem so scary when you stretch it out over a period of 6 weeks. When you do the math it comes down to saving a little over $16 dollars a week. All you have to do is cut back on your morning coffee and your hair is all paid for!

unDONE Salon

If you’re not accustomed to pre-booking, unDONE Salon invites you to give it a try. If you would like to schedule your initial appointment, give us a call at (208) 287-2010 and be ahead of the game. You can even schedule an appointment date/time online by clicking here. Alternatively, the next time you visit us, ask your Boise hair salon stylist for advice on when to pre-book and experience all the benefits it offers. See you soon!

Boise Hair Salon: What You Need To Know About Color Correction

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Is your current hair color already out of style? Do you regret copying the hair color of your favorite celeb? Or did an experiment going from brunette to blonde fail miserably and now you have Oompa Loompa hair? It doesn’t matter if you dyed your hair at home or chose the highest priced hair salon in Boise, hair color results can sometimes take a weird detour and come out in any hue (except the one you anticipated).

If this has happened to you, don’t panic. unDONE Salon can provide you with a hair color correction treatment. Our dedicated team of Boise hair salon stylists have seen it all and can help you recover from any hair color disaster.

What is a Hair Color Correction Service?

Color correction is a term that gets thrown around a lot but is often misunderstood. To put it simply, a color correction is any situation where previously colored hair is being colored. It’s also important to understand that once hair is colored, the pigment stays within the hair strand until it either grows out or gets cut off. So yes, if you’ve ever changed hair colors, almost everyone (except those with virgin hair) have had some sort of color correction.

What Happens During a Color Correction Treatment?

Color correction is a process that usually involves several steps. It also requires you to be honest about your color history with your Boise hair salon stylist.

During a consultation, your stylist will make sure your hair is healthy and strong enough to withstand the color correction process. Over-processed hair can cause it to become weak and damaged which results in a loss of elasticity and porosity which causes color to fade faster than normal. We may also take a couple of test strands —  small amounts of hair that will be used to correctly formulate your hair color.

While color corrections can sometimes be done in one day, others require multiple hair color services over a period of time. To achieve your desired color there are a variety of factors your Boise hair salon stylist must consider. This includes your current color, desired color, your hair’s porosity and how much time was booked for the service —  which can sometimes take up a whole day. While you may not leave unDONE Salon with your desired hair color in one single sitting, it’s to prevent damage while giving your hair time to recover from the lightening process rather than trying to fit it all in one sitting.

  • When going from dark to light, your Boise hair salon stylist will use a lightener (a salon-grade form of bleach). This will de-color your hair before another color or toner is used to add color back into your hair.
  • When going from light to dark, hair must be filled with an in-between color before the desired hair color is achieved. This prevents your hair color from becoming muddy or green.

While the hair color correction process can seem overwhelming, the team at unDONE Salon can help you achieve amazing results anytime you need to fix or want to change your look. Our Boise hair salon stylists know the correct way to color your hair without damaging it in the process. No matter what shade or tint you want, we can customize a hair color just for you. We promise personalized results every time!

Preventing Hair Color Issues

It’s important to prevent hair color issues by making sure you are working with an experienced Boise hair salon stylist. Never be afraid to ask questions and be specific about the results you’re looking to achieve. If we think a color or technique is a bad idea, it’s probably best to listen to us. Hair can only take so much. That’s why you should always think carefully before going back and forth between light and dark hair colors.

At unDONE Salon, our Boise hair salon stylists are highly skilled in the art of color and trained in all of the latest hair trends and techniques in the industry. From highlights and lowlights to full-color correction, we offer a variety of hair color services to create beautiful, vibrant color. We also only use the highest quality salon formulas to protect the health and integrity of your hair. Let us help you choose the perfect shade to enhance your features and compliment your style!

Boise Hair Salon Tips For Maintaining Fashion Hair Colors

/0 Comments/in , /by

Whether their bright and bold or soft and subtle, fashion haircolors are an awesome way to express yourself. However, they can also be high maintenance. The most obvious maintenance is the constant battle against fading. While it’s inevitable that you’ll have to visit your Boise hair salon stylist at unDONE for color touch-ups, there are steps you can take to prevent early fading while prolong your fashion haircolor in the process.

Keep Your Hair Healthy

First and foremost, you need to keep your hair healthy. Damaged hair simply won’t hold color the same way healthy hair will. While lightening your hair to achieve your fashion haircolor may seem counterintuitive, it’s important to consult with a professional. Keep in mind that if you have dark hair and want to go a particular shade of pink or blue, it’s going to take a lot of love and work to achieve which can result in damage if not properly lightened the right way. Your Boise hair salon stylist will work with you to limit the damage by recommending certain products and services to maintain healthy hair before and after your haircolor transformation.

Use Only High-Quality Haircolor

Not all haircolor products are created equal. While the images on a box of haircolor may look lovely and promise wonderful results, it’s not uncommon for your hair to come out all weird and splotchy. That’s because box haircolor cannot provide an even application that makes up a well-balanced look. At unDONE Salon, we only use high-quality, salon-grade haircolor products that won’t damage your hair or irritate your scalp. We also customize each service using up to 10 different colors to achieve the fashion haircolor you’re aiming for.

Avoid Hot Water & Styling Tools

Third, it’s important to wash less and to avoid hot water when shampooing your hair. Instead, always rinse with cold water after every wash. You’ll also want to cut down on your use of hot styling tools as heat opens up the hair’s cuticle, allowing pigments to fade. If you must, make sure to talk to your Boise hair salon stylist about what products they suggest to protect your haircolor. Also, when you do style your hair, make sure to use your tools on the lowest heat setting. While it may take longer to style your hair, the sacrifice is worth it when it comes to maintaining your fashion haircolor.

Use Only Salon-Grade Hair Care Products

Last but not least, always use, high-quality, salon-grade shampoo and conditioner. Hair care options you find at your local grocery store contain harsh sulfates, parabens, and alcohol that strip your haircolor while damaging it in the process. Talk with your Boise hair salon about the products they suggest based on your hair type and color. Also, keep in mind that fashion haircolors aren’t designed to last. That’s why you need to visit unDONE Salon to maintain the look you want.

unDONE Salon

At unDONE Salon, we love doing fun, creative things to our client’s hair! We just want you to understand the process and upkeep of maintaining the look you pay for. If you’re interested in trying out a new haircolor, contact us at (208) 287-2010 or schedule an appointment online. Our Boise hair salon stylists would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to helping you achieve the fashion haircolor of your dreams!
