Our hair color will inevitably change as we grow older, and each of us gets to decide how we’d like to navigate that journey. Many choose the natural route and forgo salon services altogether, letting their natural silver shine through. Others prefer to color their hair, add highlights, or blend the gray with their existing color. All of these choices are valid and beautiful, and we can help you achieve the look you desire here at Salon Le Volume.
This blog post is intended for those of you who have mostly or entirely gray hair. If you’re at the point where you’re starting to notice your first grays and are curious about your options,

Whether you’re seeking a way to make the gray more uniform or prefer to color it, we’ve got you covered! Read on to learn about what it means to go full gray, how to enhance your natural hair color, and the products that can support you along the way.
Benefits of Going Full Gray
At Salon Le Volume, our vision is to help you reflect your inner beauty on the outside. We’re passionate about helping you feel confident that you’re the best version of yourself in this moment–even if that means you want to forget about color services and visit us less frequently!
Gray hair is often associated with wisdom, experience, and self-acceptance. By choosing to go full gray, you can embody these qualities and usher in a new era of your life.
Having fully gray hair means you can choose to decrease or skip the salon visits and color treatments. It can be possible to achieve beautiful gray hair without any maintenance or salon appointments!
Embracing gray hair can also be a way to welcome timeless beauty and a sense of self-expression. When you transition to gray hair, you’re not just changing your hair color - you’re taking a journey toward accepting yourself as you are and appreciating all that you have to offer the world.
Below, take a look at one of the recent transformations we had the pleasure of providing at our salon. We completed a full head of baby highlights twice on her hair to lighten her natural hair color enough to mix well with her grays. We then did a shadow root and glazed her hair with a silver toner. The results came out beautifully, and we love the dimensionality!
Achieving Gorgeous Gray Hair: The Salon Le Volume Process
Our expert stylists will start by conducting a thorough consultation to understand your hair history, desired outcome, and expectations. We’ll discuss the transition process and the approach we would need to take to achieve your desired results. You’ll learn about the maintenance required to keep your style looking fresh, and we’ll also address any concerns or questions you may have.
Depending on your current hair color and texture, we’ll determine the best approach to transition to gray.
One option is to gradually lighten your hair to reveal the natural gray strands. Another is to blend your natural gray with your existing color. We can also use advanced color techniques and high-quality hair coloring products to achieve your desired shade. A few color treatment options include root melting, highlighting your natural hair, and toning your hair.
No matter the plan we develop, our goal is to create a beautiful, natural-looking result that complements your skin tone and enhances your features.
Maintaining Gray Hair
In general, transitioning to gray requires a new approach to care and maintenance. Investing in high-quality
