Balayage in San Francisco with Morphic

HAIR BY MISHI  

HAIR BY MISHI

 

 

As you can tell we're big fans of color and our goal is to educate and empower our clients to choose the service that fits them, so we invite you to learn more about the balayage technique.

This balayage

If you like Kristine's balayage then you like to see a lot of color saturation at the bottom, so I recommend booking for a full highlight, 3/4 highlight, or an ombre like this client.  After your initial service, you will only need a partial, mini plus, or mini express highlight to touch up your roots. If your hair gets too brassy or is feeling dry or dull,  all you need is a toner or conditioning treatments. When in doubt, check with your stylists.   

 If you have an questions about your service book  a consultation or email us photos of your inspiration.

The beauty is in the details

The client pictured had a full highlight done four months ago by Mishi and came in to refresh her color with a toner, Olaplex, and Pro Fibre treatments.

A Prince and Bowie Halloween

Finally, 2016 is on its way out, and I couldn’t be happier to kick it to the curb. It stole David Bowie and Prince, two artists that have inspired me and the rest of the Morphic team from our tender, pre-teen years. While we listened to them and recounted our stories of discovery, it became clear we must honor them in the only way we know how through HAIR AND MAKEUP! 

Get your hair and makeup done at our annual Halloween pop up on October 28 and 29th. This year you can book your Bowie and Prince themed makeup looks for $20 for 20 minutes. Book it here and ask us any questions right here. We'll see you at future parties, dance floors and sidewalks sporting our Halloween best.

Take a Dip into Chroma Hair

Your hair is your crown and sometimes that crown needs to take a deep dive into a pool of color. Will it come out silver, pastel pink, lavender, blue, sea foam green or a blend? Whatever color you choose, you should be prepared before you head into the salon. Fashion colors are notoriously hard to upkeep but new technologies are coming out everyday to improve that. We've listed multiple options for you below.

How many sessions will I need?

It will typically take 1-2 sessions. The lightening process can cause the most damage to your hair so we never want to rush it. If your hair needs to be further TONED (depositing color)  we will have you come in for a complimentary 2nd session within the first week of service. If your hair needs to be further LIGHTENED (lifting color)  we will need to charge you for a 2nd session at full price. Pricing is based on each round of services, not the total look, and while we try out best, it's not always predictable how many sessions it will take to achieve a look. Your stylist will discuss the process with you and if a second service is needed, what the price will be. 

Cost:
Emi and Tee start at $550
Mishi starts at $650
All Services include Royale (Toner and 2 powerful conditioning treatments)

Disclaimer: It might sound like a lot of money to spend a nearly or over thousand dollars to achieve a look however it takes a lot of time, energy, and expertise that goes into doing a chroma color, and the pricing is actually lower that the amount a stylist will make doing a regular highlight. Our goal is to make chroma color pricing attainable for our clients, while making sense for us as a business. Thank you for understanding.

How long does a Chroma Service take?
A Chroma Service can run anywhere from 5- 8 hours, occasionally takes 9 hours. Bring snacks, dinner, a book, your computer, or whatever you feel you need. Also, expect to be switching chairs, so be mobile. There is both iPhone and Samsung recharging plugs available at the salon.

How long does a color last?
Color longevity depends on several factors: 

  • How often you wash your hair
  • How active your lifestyle is
  • The products you use
  • Your hairs porosity


After Service Upkeep:
We recommend using great products that will help keep your color fresh. You will need a color safe shampoo, conditioner or mask. (We carry several options here and a color wash that is amazing at depositing color in between appointments.)

The more you shampoo your hair the faster the color will fall out, and keep that hair moisturized! We highly recommend a great leave-in conditioner. We carry diamond serum, kendi oil, okara leave in and solarie leave in.

Use Olaplex once a week. It is a game changer when it comes to having healthy strands.
We also recommend a toner every 6-8 weeks. However, you can choose to skip the toner and stay blond or choose a completely different color.

Products we Recommend:

Viral Shampoo ($35) Maintain your color at home at an affordable price.

Purple toning shampoo for platinum blond, gray, or white hair ($29)

Okara radiance enhanancing spray ($26) Maintain your color while protecting it from UV rays

Karinga ultimate hydrating mask ($35) Masks are essential and we love how healthy and hydrated this makes us feel.

Early bird Dreamforce blowout Pop-up

Dreamforce is around the corner, and for Morphic that means business blowouts for our corporate ladies. As in years past we always honor a business woman who inspires us and this year it is Ms. Jessica Alba.

Jessica Alba is not only a consistent hair inspiration for our clients but one of the tech's savviest business women. Her company is valued at over 1.7 billion, making it a start-up unicorn, and it is poised to reach over 200+ sales in 2016. So it's a no-brainer that she is our Dreamforce blowout inspiration. We want every woman at Dreamforce to walk into every session, meeting, and power lunch looking and feeling confident - like a boss!
