When the sun is shining, most days, and a beach or roof deck is inviting, we are soaking up the sun's rays. Some love the beachiness this adds to brunettes and the brightness it brings out in blondes. What nobody loves, though, is the dryness of those thirsty, sun-drenched ends. And, for some, the sunkissed blonde can come on too strong, especially if you embrace the sun all summer long. The solution, a conditioning color gloss and a moisture treatment. At Aveda, we have an amazing deposit-only conditioning color treatment that is up to 99% naturally derived, and can saturate the summer scorched hair with shine and tone without damage. We also have a home care line specifically designed to remedy summer hair. Try the Sun Care Protective Hair Veil before and during sun exposure and the Sun Care After Sun Masque as a treatment to revitalize after a day at the beach or pool.
End of summer promotion: Send a friend special. Send a new guest to Aveda Vandam Salon for a color service and they will get a complimentary botanical therapy hair treatment, customized to their conditioning needs, a $25 value. Plus, for sending a friend, you will receive a complimentary botanical therapy treatment as well, during your next color service.

What is corrective color?
Part 1: What makes color “corrective color?”
On a regular basis, I receive a new client to the salon that is desperately in need of corrective color. The term “corrective” can be thrown around as a scare tactic in some salons. It is generally a serious matter, however. There is not a single definition of what constitutes a corrective service. If I had to sum it up most concisely, I would say any service that requires two or more steps and will leave the client with a noticeably different look. Sometimes, a corrective service needs to be done in steps, over a few appointments. This all depends on the individual situation.
Some corrective services are when clients have been getting their hair colored one way for a while and decide that they want it to be all over lighter, but without highlights. Or there are also clients that want their hair more than a couple shades darker. Here are the rules:
If you have all over base color on your hair, and you want it a lighter shade, but without highlights, you need a color cleanse to remove the old color and put on a new one. Artificial hair color cannot be removed without using some sort of color remover.
If you have lighter hair, either naturally or highlighted, and want to go significantly darker, you need you hair colored two times in a row on the same day so the color lasts. The first step will put warm tones in your hair and get it closer to the desired end result. The second step will balance or enhance those warm tones to the give a rich, even end result. If you have ever seen or heard of someone who colored their hair darker but it turned green, blotchy, or muddy, it is because they didn’t follow this rule.
Suppose you have very uneven tones and different levels of color throughout your hair. Maybe you did it yourself, or someone else without experience played on your hair. If you just want to look highlighted, then you may need a very thorough head of highlights and allover color between all those highlights. This can be a simple process for the colorist, or it could be very involved and time-consuming. It is up to the colorist if this qualifies as corrective color, and therefore should cost more than the usual highlights and base color service.
