A Creative Process Tailored to You
At Urban Vintage Hair Studio,
vivid color isn’t just a service – it’s art.
Every bold shade, every vibrant melt is crafted to fit you — your personality, lifestyle, and the way you want to feel when you look in the mirror.
Whether you’re dreaming of soft pastels, dimensional neons, jewel tones, or high-impact blends, I’ll help you create a color that feels authentic, unapologetically you.
Why Clients Trust Me With Their Vivids
Vivid color takes skill, vision, and commitment – here’s why people trust me with their boldest looks.
Custom Color Theory
I don’t use one-size-fits-all formulas. Every vivid is designed around your skin tone, undertones, lifestyle, and maintenance level — so your color stays bright and true.
Face-Shape + Lifestyle Design
Vivid color has to fit who you are. We’ll talk through your goals, maintenance comfort level, and personal style so your color looks good on day one and grows out beautifully.
Healthy Hair First
Beautiful color starts with healthy hair. I focus on long-term integrity, smart lightening, and vivid applications that keep your hair strong. If your hair is compromised, I may recommend starting with restorative and reparative color as a foundation before moving into vivid tones.
My Vivid Work
From neon melts to multi-dimensional hybrids – here’s a peek at some of my favorite bold creations.
Creating Art With You – Not Just On You
As a creative professional, some of my favorite moments happen in the vivid chair.
We talk color, laugh, share stories, and build a vision together — then I bring that vision to life with expressive, personalized artistry.
That’s why vivid color is often designed alongside intentional haircuts and styling — so movement, shape, and structure support the color and elevate the overall impact of the finished look.
What to Expect With Vivid Color
Consultation
We’ll talk about your vision, hair history, maintenance comfort level, and what vivid colors excite you most.
Lightening / Prep
If your look requires lightening, I’ll lift your hair safely and strategically. This step takes the longest — and it’s worth it.
Custom Formulation
Your vivid tones are hand-mixed to match your skin tone, undertones, and personal style.
Cut & Style
I’ll refine the shape with layers, texture, or movement to bring the color to life.
Care Guidance
You’ll leave knowing exactly how to maintain your vivid color, extend longevity, and protect vibrancy.
