Professional Hair Color

Custom single-process color and gray coverage tailored to you.

Book Appointment

Great color starts with a real conversation about your hair, your routine, and the result you actually want. At Kaya, Anita draws on more than twenty years of cosmetology experience to formulate single-process color that flatters your skin tone and looks natural in every light. Whether you are covering gray, refreshing all-over color, or going a few shades richer, every formula is mixed for your hair, never pulled off a generic chart. The goal is color that feels like you and grows out gracefully.

Quick Answer

How do I choose the right shade for me?

During your consultation, Anita considers your skin tone, eye color, natural level, and lifestyle to recommend shades that flatter you and fit how much maintenance you want. You decide together before any color is mixed.

What Is Single-Process Hair Color?

Single-process color applies one shade from roots to ends in a single application, making it the most efficient way to change or refresh your overall tone, deepen your natural color, or cover gray. Because the entire head is treated at once, the result is even, uniform, and consistent.

It differs from highlighting or balayage, which add dimension by lightening selected strands. Single process is ideal when you want a solid, polished base color, and it pairs beautifully with highlights or a gloss later if you decide you want more depth.

Your Color Options

  • All-over color to shift your overall tone warmer, cooler, lighter, or deeper
  • Gray coverage that blends seamlessly with your natural shade
  • Root touch-ups to refresh regrowth between full-color appointments
  • Color correction to repair brassiness, banding, or uneven previous color
  • Glossing and toning to add shine and refine the final result

Frequently Asked Questions

During your consultation, Anita considers your skin tone, eye color, natural level, and lifestyle to recommend shades that flatter you and fit how much maintenance you want. You decide together before any color is mixed.
Yes. Single-process color is one of the most reliable ways to achieve full, even gray coverage. Your formula is adjusted based on how much gray you have and how resistant it is, so the blend looks natural.
Most clients refresh all-over color every six to eight weeks, with a quicker root touch-up around the four-to-six-week mark to keep regrowth from showing. We will suggest a cadence based on your hair and shade.
Often, yes. Color correction depends on your hair's current condition and history, so we start with a consultation to assess what is realistic and create a plan that protects the integrity of your hair.
If you are new to a product or have sensitive skin, we may recommend a patch and strand test before your appointment. It is a simple precaution that helps us keep your color experience safe and comfortable.
Use color-safe, sulfate-free products, wash less frequently with cooler water, protect hair from heat, and book regular touch-ups. These habits keep your color vibrant between visits.
