What single-process color does
Single process color applies one shade across the hair and can be done as either permanent or semi-permanent, as noted in the service description. At The Parlor Beauty Studio in the Medlock Bridge area of Johns Creek, this service is combined with a haircut and blow-dry to deliver a cohesive finished look. Appointments are scheduled for 150 MINUTES to complete color, cut and styling.
Choosing a single, all-over color is a practical choice when you want an even tone, refresh between multi-dimensional color services, or simplify maintenance. The stylist evaluates hair history and desired outcome before application. In our Johns Creek location we also consider local lifestyle and climate — humid summers and suburban commutes — when recommending tones that suit daily routines.
Choosing permanent or semi-permanent color
Permanent and semi-permanent options are both available for single-process color. Permanent color creates a longer-lasting change and grows out with natural hair, while semi-permanent color deposits tone that fades with shampooing. Your stylist will explain these trade-offs during consultation and recommend the option that best fits how often you want to come in and how you manage maintenance at home.
Decisions between permanent and semi-permanent color depend on previous chemical services, desired longevity, and how the result should respond to Johns Creek’s humid climate and active family schedules. Expect your stylist to ask about past color, daily styling habits, and time available for upkeep so the chosen formula and tone align with your routine and service expectations.
Haircut and professional blow-dry finish
The haircut portion is tailored to support the new color, balancing length and shape to frame your face and make the color read as intended. After color processing and rinsing, your stylist performs a precision cut and finishes with a professional blow-dry to show how the color and cut translate into everyday wear. The combined service starts at $160 and is allotted 150 MINUTES.
A finished blow-dry also gives a chance to discuss at-home styling and maintenance specific to the chosen color and cut. Because our studio serves busy families across Johns Creek and nearby communities, we recommend bringing reference photos and a brief list of recent treatments so your stylist can align technique and styling for realistic, maintainable results.
