"I had a balayage done at another salon and the placement of the highlights as well as the tone did not turn out well. This happened right before a big event. Luckily, I was able to make an appointment with Leesa Lee and she corrected the issues. Leesa is an expert and I will not be allowing anyone else to color my hair ever again. I'm so thankful to have found her."

"I always dread looking for a new place. I can be pretty anxious & picky about my hair & not all stylists respond well to that. Thankfully, I found Leesa, and she has tons of experience, mad skills & great energy. She's easy to talk to & really strives to give you the results you want without making you feel like you're being demanding or unreasonable. She's also flexible & will work with your schedule. Leesa is the real deal!"

Gray Transition
Gray blending is a sophisticated hair coloring technique designed to seamlessly integrate gray hair with natural or colored hair, creating a harmonious and natural look. This method involves strategically placing highlights and lowlights to blend the gray strands with the existing hair color, resulting in a soft, multidimensional appearance.
The expertise required for gray blending includes a keen eye for color, advanced knowledge of hair color theory, and precise application skills. Leesa assesses the client's hair texture, natural color, and gray distribution to create a customized look that enhances the client's overall appearance while maintaining the health and integrity of the hair.
Gray Transition — FAQs
What is the process for transitioning to natural gray hair?
The transition to natural gray hair can be achieved through various techniques such as blending, highlights, or lowlights, depending on your current hair color and the desired outcome. During your digital hair consultation, Leesa will assess your hair type and recommend the best approach to achieve a seamless and beautiful transition.
How long does it take to transition to gray hair?
The time it takes to transition to gray hair varies depending on your current hair color, length, and the technique used. On average, the process can take anywhere from several months to over a year, but Leesa can work with you to create a plan that suits your lifestyle and hair goals. Gray blending appointments require a minimum of 3.5 hours, while gray transition appointments require at least 4 hours.
Will transitioning to gray hair damage my hair?
Leesa uses gentle, professional techniques to minimize any potential damage to your hair during the transition process. She prioritizes the health of your hair and will recommend treatments and products to keep it strong and vibrant throughout the transition.
How does the length of my hair affect the time it takes to transition to gray?
The length of your hair plays a major role in how long your gray transition will take. Unless you choose to bleach your entire head to speed up the process, your transition will last as long as it takes for your natural gray to fully grow out. During this time, we’ll use gray blending techniques to soften the contrast between your natural gray and your previously colored hair, creating a more seamless look. If you have shorter hair or are willing to do a big chop, your transition will be much quicker. If you have longer hair, it will take more time since your natural gray has to grow all the way to your desired length. The overall transition timeline depends on both your hair length and how fast your hair naturally grows.
Can I maintain my gray hair without frequent salon visits?
Yes, once you’ve fully transitioned to gray hair, it’s possible to maintain the look with less frequent salon visits. Leesa will provide personalized advice on how to care for your gray hair at home, including product recommendations and tips for keeping your color fresh and vibrant between appointments.
What’s the difference between gray blending and gray transition?
Gray blending softens and blends your natural silver into your existing hair color, creating a seamless, low-maintenance look without fully changing to gray. Gray transition is a multi-session process designed to remove or lighten existing color so you can fully embrace your natural gray or silver hair. Blending maintains some of your current color, while transition takes you all the way to gray.
Make it Blonde
