Grey Coverage and Grey Blending in Old Saybrook, CT

Maven Salon · 144 Main Street · Old Saybrook, CT

Modern grey blending and seamless coverage for guests embracing or transitioning into grey.

TL;DR: Modern grey blending services at Maven Salon, Old Saybrook. We work with guests embracing grey naturally, transitioning out of color, or wanting seamless dimensional grey coverage.

Modern grey blending, not "covering up the grey"

Grey hair work has changed a lot in the last decade. The old approach was to cover every grey strand with permanent color, forever. The modern approach is to work WITH the grey, blending it into your natural color in a way that looks intentional and grows out softly.

At Maven Salon, both Marie and Angela work extensively with guests in grey transition or full grey integration. Whether you're trying to cover, blend, or transition, we have a plan that fits.

Grey coverage

If you want to fully color over your grey, we use single-process color services. The result is fully pigmented hair that matches your chosen color. Most guests in coverage mode come in every 4 to 6 weeks for root touch-ups.

Pricing:

  • Single Process Color Refresh (existing guest)
  • Single Process + Signature Blowdry
  • Single Process + Haircut and Blowdry

Grey blending

If you want to embrace the grey but make it look intentional, we use grey blending techniques. This means strategically placed highlights and lowlights that integrate with your natural grey pattern, plus a custom gloss to harmonize the tones.

Grey blending typically lasts 8 to 12 weeks between appointments because the technique grows out softly. Pricing falls in our balayage and highlight range.

Grey transition

If you're ready to transition from coloring grey to embracing it naturally, this is a planned 12 to 24 month process. We use a combination of demi-permanent color, gloss services, and strategic highlights to make each phase of the transition look intentional rather than "growing out."

The transition starts with a $50 Color Consultation. We map the full 12 to 24 month plan and book each step in advance.

Why Marie and Angela are the right fit

Marie's seamless grey blending technique is one of her specialties, paired with sewn-in extensions when fullness is needed. Angela's modern grey blending pairs with cuts that work with the new dimension.

Both stylists will tell you honestly what's achievable and what isn't. Take the matchmaking quiz or book a Color Consultation directly to start.
