FUNKHUE PINK M2 Salon Durham NC

July 4, 2021 publish

FUNKHUE PINK M2 Salon Durham NC – Hair Color Specialist Margy Sheppard at M2 Salon uses Oligo Pro FUNKHUE for all of her fun semi-permanent hair color options. Below, we’re showing one of Margy’s clients after a recent FUNKHUE Pink semi-permanent color application. How fun is this?!

Sometimes you just want to think outside the natural hair color box and mix it up with a rainbow hue. Margy says that FUNKHUE shades are all the rage, appointment requests are up dramatically; scroll through social media and you’ll see exactly what she means. Margy’s take is that the nice thing about dipping into a more dramatic dye is that options such as FUNKHUE are semi-permanent, which means it will gradually fade over the course of several weeks/shampoos. Think of it as an option to go bold, without having to make any kind of serious color commitment!

Margy strongly recommends consulting with a hair color professional to help avoid crazy color mistakes!!! This isn’t self promotion, but advice based on experience. She says to keep in mind that the base shade you’re starting with will definitely affect the end result; generally speaking, bright tones work best on bleached or blonde hair. (If you’re starting with a darker color, you may want to consider lightening it first, or seeking out formulas specifically made for brunettes.)

From Oligo Pro:
Define Funky: fashionable in an unusual and noticeable way.
Define Hue: a degree of lightness, darkness or strength of a color.
Combine them to get a fun and fierce line offering many shades of semi-permanent hair color!

Advice On Blonde Highlights Durham NC M2 Salon

March 27, 2021 publish

Advice On Blonde Highlights Durham NC M2 Salon-Spring is the time to retouch those grown out highlights! It’s also that time of year to blend in some additional highlights to give that sun-kissed look to your hair. At M2 Salon, Durham, NC. Margy Sheppard, Owner and awesome Stylist receives many questions on tips for keeping your highlights looking natural, your hair healthy, and your beauty budget in check.

Before we begin, let us just say that the No.1 tip is to leave it to a professional. If you want professional-looking highlights, you’re going to have to pay for them. That said, I have a few suggestions to keep in mind before, during, and after your visit to the salon. Here’s how to keep your color bright and your roots in check…

Know the Key to Good Color
Step one of developing your own personal hairstyle is leaving the over-processed look behind and embracing a much more natural look when it comes to hair coloring. A rule of thumb is that your hair looks best when it’s closer to its natural color and texture. Embrace what your mother gave you, and then work to enhance it—not change it. Margy is an expert colorist you can work with and trust, have faith in her professional opinion.

Stretch Your Budget
At M2 Salon, you’ll realize having a professional such as Margy handle your highlights, will actually result in a longer stretch of time between salon visits. Saving you money & keeping you beautiful. Six to eight weeks is the standard amount of time between salon visits, when you utilize a professional colorist. Lastly, Margy will recommend using a toning gloss to seal in the color and make it last longer. This (along with a color care shampoo and conditioner at home) will prevent your color from looking dull as the weeks go by.

Maintain Healthy Hair
Lightening your hair automatically puts it in more fragile territory. If you have color treated hair, it is a good idea to avoid styling products that have a lot of alcohol in them, like many hair sprays. Alcohol will dry out your hair and leach out the color. Margy also recommends using use a heat-protecting product when you’re blowing out, curling, or straightening your hair.
