Hair Color Services
Ann Arbor, MI
At Avissa Salon, we believe exceptional hair color begins with understanding the person wearing it. Every appointment starts with a thoughtful consultation where we take the time to learn about your goals, lifestyle, maintenance preferences, and the overall look you want to achieve. Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh or a complete transformation, our experienced color specialists create results that are customized specifically for you.
Hair Color: Art + Science
Creating beautiful, dimensional color requires technical precision, an understanding of color theory, and an eye for balance and detail. Our team continually invests in advanced education to stay current with the latest coloring techniques, formulations, and trends, allowing us to deliver modern results while protecting the health and integrity of your hair.
We specialize in everything from natural-looking dimensional brunettes to bright blondes, lived-in balayage, seamless highlights, gray coverage, vibrant fashion colors, and complete color transformations. Every formula is carefully customized to complement your skin tone, facial features, natural hair color, and personal style.
Whether you’re visiting us for your first professional color service or you’ve been coloring your hair for years, our goal is the same—to provide an exceptional experience from consultation to final style. We want every guest to leave feeling confident, refreshed, and excited about their hair.
Root Touch-Ups
Maintaining beautiful, consistent hair color doesn’t always require a complete color service. A professional root touch-up refreshes new growth, seamlessly blending it with your existing color to keep your hair looking polished, vibrant, and freshly colored. Whether you’re covering gray, maintaining a rich brunette, enhancing a radiant red, or preserving a flawless blonde, regular root maintenance helps extend the life of your color while protecting the overall health and integrity of your hair.
Ideal for guests with gray regrowth or solid all-over color who want to keep their hair looking fresh between full color appointments. Most clients schedule root touch-ups every 4–8 weeks.
All-Over Color
Rich, Beautiful All-Over Color
Single-process color creates rich, even color from roots to ends for a polished, healthy-looking finish. Whether you’re refreshing faded color, deepening your natural shade, covering gray, or trying something completely new, we customize every formula specifically for your complexion and lifestyle. Our professional color lines deliver exceptional shine, long-lasting vibrancy, and beautiful, predictable results while helping maintain the health of your hair.
From rich brunettes and radiant reds to luminous blondes and glossy blacks, we create color that’s timeless and effortlessly beautiful.
Highlights
Classic & Dimensional Highlights
Highlights are one of the most popular ways to add brightness, movement, and dimension to your hair. From subtle face-framing pieces to full-head transformations, we carefully control brightness, contrast, and depth to create natural-looking results that grow out beautifully. Every formula is tailored specifically for you, ensuring your color feels effortless—not overdone. We will customize every highlight placement to complement your haircut, skin tone, and personal style.
Perfect for: First-time blondes, Adding dimension, Brightening dark hair, Natural-looking blonde maintenance
Balayage
Hand-Painted Balayage
Balayage is a freehand coloring technique that creates soft, seamless transitions from your natural color to lighter ends. Because the color is painted by hand rather than applied in traditional foils, the result is beautifully blended and incredibly low maintenance.
Our color specialists customize every balayage based on your haircut, natural base color, and desired level of brightness. Whether you prefer a subtle lived-in blonde or a bold, high-impact transformation, we create effortless dimension with a luxurious finish.
Perfect for: Low-maintenance color, Soft grow-out, Lived-in blondes, Brunette dimension
Babylights
Soft Natural Babylights
Babylights are ultra-fine highlights designed to mimic the delicate brightness naturally found in children’s hair. Using incredibly small sections, this technique creates soft dimension, luminous shine, and an exceptionally natural appearance.
Babylights are ideal for guests who want to brighten their hair without dramatic contrast. The result is polished, refined color that looks effortlessly beautiful from every angle.
Perfect for: Natural blondes, Fine hair, Subtle brightness, Elegant dimension
Gray Coverage
Seamless Gray Coverage
Whether you’re covering your first few gray hairs or maintaining full gray coverage, our customized color formulations deliver natural-looking results that blend beautifully with your existing hair.
We take the time to match depth, tone, and dimension so your color never appears flat or artificial. For guests embracing their natural silver, we also offer blending services that create graceful transitions with less noticeable grow-out.
Our goal is color that looks healthy, polished, and authentically you.
Gloss & Toner
Shine Glosses & Toners
A gloss or toner is the finishing touch that elevates beautiful hair color. These treatments refine unwanted tones, enhance shine, refresh faded color, and help maintain your ideal blonde, brunette, or red between appointments. Whether you’ve recently had highlights or simply want to restore brilliance and softness, gloss treatments leave hair looking healthier, smoother, and noticeably more vibrant.
Many of our guests schedule gloss appointments between full color services to keep their hair looking salon-fresh year-round.
Dimensional Color
Rich, Multi-Dimensional Hair Color
Dimensional color combines multiple complementary tones to create depth, movement, and a natural-looking finish that reflects light beautifully. Ideal for anyone who wants richer, more natural-looking color with added dimension, whether enhancing brunettes, blondes, reds, or blending early gray hair.
Our experienced color specialists customize every formula and placement to complement your features, skin tone, and lifestyle. We focus on healthy, vibrant hair and seamless dimension that grows out beautifully.

Every correction begins with a detailed consultation to assess your hair’s condition, previous color history, and realistic expectations. Some corrections can be completed in one visit, while more complex transformations may require multiple appointments to protect the integrity of your hair. Beautiful corrections require expertise—not shortcuts.

Frequently Asked Questions (Hair Coloring)
What hair color services do you offer?
We offer a range of hair color services tailored to your goals, including all-over color, root touch-ups, gray coverage, balayage, highlights, glossing, toning, and color correction. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best option based on your current hair, desired result, and maintenance preferences.
How do I know which hair color service to book?
If you are unsure which hair color service is right for you, we can help. Your stylist will look at your current hair color, hair history, inspiration photos, and desired maintenance level to recommend the right service for your appointment.
What is the difference between all-over color, highlights, and balayage?
All-over color applies a single shade or formula throughout the hair for a uniform result. Highlights add lighter pieces throughout the hair for dimension, while balayage is a hand-painted technique that creates a softer, more blended look. The best choice depends on the finish you want and how often you want to maintain it.
Do I need a consultation before my hair color appointment?
A consultation is often recommended, especially for first-time guests, major color changes, blonde services, or color correction. It helps your stylist understand your hair goals, assess your current hair condition, and create a plan that fits your desired look and budget.
How much does hair color cost?
Hair color pricing can vary depending on the service, hair length, thickness, product needed, and the complexity of your appointment. Services like root touch-ups may be priced differently than balayage, highlights, or corrective color. Contact us for current pricing or to schedule a consultation.
How long does a hair color appointment take?
Appointment times vary depending on the service. A root touch-up may take less time than a full highlight, balayage, or color correction appointment. Your stylist can give you a better estimate based on the service you book and your hair goals.
How often should I refresh my hair color?
That depends on the type of color service you get. Root touch-ups and gray coverage are often refreshed every 4 to 8 weeks, while balayage and some highlight services may last longer between appointments. Your stylist will recommend a maintenance schedule that works for your color and lifestyle.
Do you offer gray coverage hair color services?
Yes. We offer gray coverage services designed to blend, soften, or fully cover gray hair depending on your preferences. Your stylist can help you choose a result that looks natural and fits your maintenance routine.
Can you help me go lighter or blonde?
Yes. Blonde and lightening services can be customized based on your starting point, desired brightness, and hair condition. In some cases, reaching your ideal result may take more than one appointment to help protect the health of your hair.
What is a gloss or toner, and do I need one?
A gloss or toner helps refine tone, add shine, and improve the overall finish of your hair color. It is often used after blonding services or anytime you want to refresh faded color, reduce brassiness, or add a polished look.
Do you offer color correction?
Yes. Color correction services are available for hair that needs tone adjustment, banding correction, uneven color repair, or help after at-home color or a previous service elsewhere. A consultation is usually recommended before booking color correction.
Can I color my hair if it has been previously colored?
Yes, but previous color history matters. Your stylist will consider any past salon color, box dye, lightening, or chemical treatments before recommending the safest and most effective plan for your appointment.
Will hair color damage my hair?
Professional hair color services are designed to achieve beautiful results while maintaining the health of your hair as much as possible. Your stylist will recommend the right approach, products, and aftercare to help protect your hair during and after the service.
What should I do before my hair color appointment?
It helps to arrive with inspiration photos, an idea of your goals, and an honest history of previous color or chemical services. This gives your stylist the information needed to create the best plan for your hair.
Can I bring inspiration photos to my appointment?
Yes. Inspiration photos are very helpful because they give your stylist a better understanding of the tone, dimension, and overall result you want. They also help guide a realistic conversation about timing, maintenance, and what is achievable for your hair.
Which hair color service is best for low maintenance results?
Low-maintenance options often include balayage, soft dimensional color, glossing, or color placements that grow out more naturally. Your stylist can recommend a service that gives you a beautiful result without requiring frequent touch-ups.
Do you offer hair color for all hair types and textures?
Yes. Hair color services can be customized for a variety of hair types, textures, lengths, and densities. Your stylist will tailor the formula and technique to your hair and desired outcome.
Can I combine a haircut with my hair color appointment?
Yes. Many guests choose to combine a haircut with their color service so they leave with a fully refreshed look. Let us know when booking so we can allow enough time for your appointment.
What products should I use after coloring my hair?
Color-safe shampoo, conditioner, and recommended at-home care products can help protect tone, reduce fading, and keep your hair looking healthy between visits. Your stylist can recommend the best products for your specific color service.
