Color Products
At Citrus Salon we only use high-end quality products to maintain an optimum level of health
and longevity of your color, including Goldwell-brand color.  Goldwell has been recognized for
years as one of the best color lines in the world, using only the healthiest ingredients to keep
hair healthy, shiny, and radiant.  
For creative color we use Goldwell’s Elumin.  This amazing brand of coloring allows bright
colors to pop.  Red, pink, and purple will shine true and will not fade as typical bright colors
tend to do.

Q:  There are so many types of color, how should I know whether I need a highlight, a
lowlight, or anything else?

A:  Citrus Salon will work with you to determine what works best for your cut, natural coloring,
and lifestyle.  

Q:  What is a multi-dimensional color?

A:  A full overall base color complimented by highlight accents or lowlights for depth and
dimension.

Q:  One-process color?

A:  This is customized for full, overall color- root to ends.  

Permanent Waves

No longer for the 80’s, Citrus will consult with you to be sure you are ready for this fashion-
forward trend as perms have come a long way in recent years.  Gorgeous, natural looking
waves can be yours without the stench of yesterday’s formula.  Today’s solution is enriched
with alpha-hydroxy acids that help seal the hair cuticle and lock in moisture.

If you desire a loose curl, naturally wavy and sexy… you can have it.  Perms can now be
created in all shapes and sizes.  If you just want to rid yourself of limp, tired locks, this may
also be your solution to a full-bodied look.

Thermal Straightening

The art of straightening hair has made great strides in recent years.  The newest techniques
are employed by Citrus Salon where we use the gentlest products and conditioning emollients
to ensure your hair’s health.  The technique not only straightens hair, but it smoothes and
settles the smallest of frizz.  The benefit of this process is time and the bonus is beauty: you
can skip the blow-dryer and flat-iron and still end up with perfectly straight hair every day.

Q:  Will thermal straightening dry-out and damage my hair?

A:  During the process we constantly condition the hair to ensure minimal damage

Q:  Is this the same process used in “relaxing” hair?

A:  Japanese thermal straightening smoothes and creates flat-laying hair, it does not
straighten it the way harsh chemical relaxers do.

Q:  My friend’s sister had this done and her hair came out janky!

A:  Some stylists have given this service a bad reputation because they rush the process,
skipping vital steps and not conditioning during the procedure.  Using a mixture that is cheap
or too strong for the hair’s condition will damage it.  Choosing the right salon and stylist to
perform this work is everything- reputation and quality is as important as choosing the food
you put in your mouth.  

Extensions

Long, luscious, flowing hair can be yours tomorrow.  Citrus Salon uses the highest quality
brand, “Cinderella Hair” extensions.  This system uses a unique bonding technique that is
easily applied without using harsh glues or chemicals that damage hair.  In a matter of hours
Citrus can give you the long, sexy look you crave.

Q:  How long do the extensions last?

A:  Typically 4-5 months, but everyone’s hair is different.  Extensions will not speed up or
hinder your natural growth; we can consult with you on this during your appointment so you
know what to expect.

Q:  What is the “hair’ made of?

A:  High-quality natural human hair.

Q:  How is the hair put in place?

A:  Actual keratin protein is used to bond your hair, which is what your natural hair is made of.

Q:  What colors/ shades do you offer?

A:  All kinds of colors; from natural to wild and funky.  Use extensions to add splashes of
color or highlights.  See us for a consultation!
