ASIAN HAIR

The most important considerations are dark original colors and the tendency of Asian hair to be coarse and heavy. To control this tendency, it is important to reduce the volume of hair in the style by using special sculpting techniques. Asian hair also requires special coloring techniques.

Haircutting Techniques
First of all, there are lots of possibilities. Asian hair is not necessarily limited to a few styles. You can go short, medium, and long with a full variety of styles in any length. Another word for cutting is sculpting. Experience plays a large role in sculpting Asian hair well. Because this is a specialty, I have made it a point to get advanced training with some of the best Asian hair stylists in the world. One is Yosh Toya. You have probably seen his work in magazines. His approach to hair sculpting takes into account the texture and individual properties of Asian hair. He places great importance on techniques that add or reduce volume, give movement, look piecey, or funky. He also emphasizes layering techniques to blend the cut so well it almost looks one length or as if it has no layers.

Hair Coloring, Highlighting and Lowlighting
Since Asian hair is nearly always darker, there is an unusual amount of pigment in the hair. When coloring this hair type, the remaining pigment becomes a strong variable in the formulation of final color desired. For example, brassy (reddish, orange) appearance can be an unwanted result. This can happen easily without experience. I am well aware of it and know how to avoid it. I can give you exactly the color you desire. I have had extensive, advanced hair color training with the some of the top color companies in the world: Goldwell, Schwarzkopf, Framesi, Redken, Wella, Matrix, Aveda and L’Oreal.

Don't forget, we will always have an in depth consultation before starting any coloring service.
