Paper Thin Highlights: The subtlest form of highlights – more of a glisten than a noticeable line.

Gloss:  Shiny overlay on the hair.  Usually a finishing product for hair color and styling.

Glaze:  Semipermanent product used for adding shine and for protecting hair color from fading.

Color Bath:  Color applied over lathered up hair to adhear to pourous areas like faded hair, or to blend a highlight.

Fillers: These are used to even out hair color before using a permanent color.

 Oxidation:  A chemical change in hair color caused by air.  This usually results in the the yellowing of bright highlights.

When speaking to you client please, please make sure you are both on the same page before starting a haircolor service. Communication is a must. It can also save your ASS!

Consumer Hairdressing Terminology!

~ Joseph Kellner

Talking to your client is very important, any mis-communication can translate to a very bad cut and haircolor. Here are definitions to avoid a hair style malfunction next time!

Texturize: In cutting terms, this means giving a blunt or pure form shape, so there are different lengths and movement.

Graduation: A build up of weight, 45 degrees from the head shape. This technique can be done in different ways like around face (face framing), at the nape (stacked/angled bob), or side swept bangs. When this technique is utilized, it gives movement and structure to your cut.

Jooge: In the fashion world, this means detailing — rubbing the hair between my fingers for texture, or at the roots for a extra lift.

Fringe: Bangs

Point Cut: When the scissors are used to cut hair vertically instead of horizontally. This will give you a “piecey” look.

Edgy: Trendy, non-conventional, or extreme. Shapes may include choppy.

Gisele Waves: Gisele Bundchen’s waves. Stylists refer to Gisele when we mean loose, tousled waves. It’s more about the movement instead of volume.

Dusting: Cutting the most minimal amount of hair, otherwise known as the slightest trim for those who are nervous to get a haircut.

Upsweep: Loosely gathering hair on the top of the head. This look is ideal for the gym, summer weather, or for protecting hair from rainy weather.

Faux Hawk: An edgy look; a messier version of a mohawk.

Chemical Cut: Hair so over-processed that it breaks and looks as though it has been cut.

 Busted: Hair that’s overworked, over-processed, and damaged.

Blunt: A haircut that is all one length – can be short or long.

Razored: A sharp, edgy haircut created with a razor, instead of scissors.

Bed Head: Often worn down, this style is a sexy look that makes it look like you effortlessly just arrived to the party and didn’t have time to style your hair. A very appealing and natural hairdo.
