KRIS WILLIAMS
I thrive on big change with all hair textures and find my greatest fulfillment helping women project strength and confidence through their appearance. I can’t wait to work with you!
I do salt & pepper gray hair transformations, color for curls of all types (yes it’s different!), global blonding, complex color corrections, and dramatic color transformations. I also do standard color and highlighting services. I work with an assistant who does your blow dry for a $40 salon charge so you’re not paying my hourly rate for the blow dry. Repeat color clients that are not changing their color can choose to skip the blow dry and associated charge.
SPECIALTY COLOR SERVICES
Gratuity Included
These services are priced hourly and require a $100 pre-paid consultation on a day prior to the service in order to determine session time and pricing. The consultation fee is applied toward your service if you schedule within 4 weeks. Schedule a 1 hr consultation online or call the salon at 512-233-1910. I prefer to do consultations in person so I can see your hair under ideal lighting and touch it to assess it’s integrity. That said, if you are coming from out of state or from a distant city and a separate trip for a consultation isn’t feasible, please call the salon to schedule an online consultation. Some specialty services may take 2-3 hours, while others might take 6 or more hours. It depends on the hair you arrive with, what condition it’s in and your end goal. If the change you want isn’t achievable in one visit, I’ll let you know that up front.
Salt and Pepper ~ Have you heard that gray hair makes men look distinguished and women look old? That doesn’t work for me. Salt and Pepper hair done right, (with fashion and flare), is a statement of confidence and a celebration of where you are in life. This look incorporates your existing greys and whites into a cohesive palette that can be as tame or striking as you care to make it. An added benefit is less frequent trips to the salon, so it’s great if you’re tired of the never ending gray coverage but don’t want to look like you just gave up.
Global Blonding ~ This service is about all things blonde. Not dark roots or lived in mind you, we’re talking blonde all over and down to the scalp. Shades can be anything from golden to ash to platinum.
Color Transformation ~ This service is about big color change. I consider a transformation to be a completely different look on hair that has no significant color issues such as banding, splotchy patches or home/box color that may require corrective procedures. Think Transformation when you’re exploring a “new you” or just trying something you’ve never had before.
Color Correction ~ Correction work is about fixing color problems that may have been caused by multiple attempts of different stylists or something you’ve done yourself. If you’re tempted to wear a hat to cover it up, it’s probably a correction. Things I see a lot are uneven color, noticeable banding, splotchy patches, and unintended shades; sometimes a result of home or box color and sometimes due to another salon’s work. Some of these fixes don’t take any longer than a single process color, while others can be all day, or even multiple visit affairs. Many correction services also involve structural repair and reconditioning of the hair shaft because heat and chemical processing that occurred prior to your visit.
