Hair Color
Level means how light or dark the hair is. Tone means the shade you see, such as warm, golden, copper or cool. Those two things help explain why two brown colors can look very different.

Choose by the Result
What service do you actually need?
You do not have to memorize salon words. The easiest way to choose is to say what you want your hair to look like. Here is what the common terms mean and why each one matters.
Highlights
Highlights make selected pieces lighter. Leaving some hair darker creates dimension, which simply means you can see both light and dark instead of one flat shade. Placement controls where the brightness shows.
Learn about highlights →Balayage
Balayage is a color placement technique. Lightener or color is painted onto selected sections to build a softer blend. It often keeps more depth near the roots, which can make new growth look less obvious.
Learn about balayage →Women's Haircuts
Layers remove or redistribute weight through the haircut. That can create movement or help a shape sit differently. Bobs, shorter cuts and longer layers all depend on where that weight is left.
Women's haircuts near Elk Grove →Men's Haircuts
A fade blends the sides through very short lengths. A taper usually keeps more length and gets shorter around the edges. Guard length and blending change how soft or sharp the finished haircut looks.
Men's haircuts near Elk Grove →Perms
A perm uses a chemical process to reshape the hair into curls or waves. Hair length, condition and the size of the curl you want all affect the plan. Past color or chemical work can matter too, so hair history should be discussed first.

Four things make the plan easier.
A good consultation is less about knowing technical words and more about giving useful information. Bring a photo if you have one. Then explain these four things.
- 01
Your starting hair
Show the current length, color and texture. The same requested style can require a different plan on different starting hair.
- 02
The result you want
Point to the part of your reference photo you like. It might be the brightness, shape, fringe, curl, fade or amount of movement.
- 03
Your hair history
Tell us about past dye, bleach, perms or straightening. Chemical history matters because it can change how the hair responds to another service.
- 04
Your normal routine
Say how much styling and maintenance you actually want to do. A good result should also make sense after you leave the salon.

Silver Star Salon provides hair color, highlights, balayage, women's haircuts, men's haircuts and perms. The best service depends on your current hair and the result you want.
What is the difference between hair color, highlights and balayage?
Hair color can change or refresh the overall shade. Highlights make selected pieces lighter. Balayage is a placement technique used to create a softer blend of light and dark. Your starting color and maintenance goal help determine which approach fits.
What is the difference between a fade and a taper?
A fade blends through very short lengths on the sides and back. A taper usually keeps more length and gets shorter around the edges. The exact guard length and blend can be adjusted to the look you want.
Can I bring a reference photo?
Yes. A clear photo helps show the color, length, shape, curl or texture you have in mind. Point out the exact part you like so the conversation stays specific.
Does previous color or chemical work matter?
Yes. Old dye, bleach, perms and straightening can affect how the hair responds to another chemical service. Tell your stylist about previous treatments even if they were done months ago.
How much will my service cost?
Price depends on the service and the work needed. Hair length, thickness, starting color, chemical history and the size of the change can all matter. Call the salon to discuss the service and current pricing.
