Gray Coverage

Modern gray coverage at Studio 260 Salon isn't about hiding your hair — it's about designing color that looks dimensional, soft, and unmistakably yours. Our colorists use a multi-formula approach customized to your natural base, eye color, and skin tone, so coverage stays full but never flat or brassy. Walk in for a Roots + Run between appointments, or sit down for the full Modern Gray Coverage experience.
What to Expect
- Consultation — We look at your natural base, lifestyle, and how often you want to be in the chair, then map a custom plan.
- Multi-formula application — Different formulas at the root, mid-shaft, and ends create soft, lived-in dimension rather than a solid wall of color.
- Glaze + bond treatment — Every gray coverage finishes with a shine-boosting glaze and a strengthening Innersense treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I come in for gray coverage?
Most clients are on a 4–6 week cadence for a Roots + Run, with a full Modern Gray Coverage every other visit. We'll set you up with a personalized schedule.
Will the color look natural?
Yes — we never apply a single block tone. Multi-formula application means your color reads as natural dimension, not 'covered up.'
Is it safe for sensitive scalps?
We carry low-ammonia and ammonia-free options, plus the Innersense Hair Renew line for scalp support. Tell us during the consult and we'll adjust.
How long does the appointment take?
Roots + Run is around 60 minutes. Modern Gray Coverage runs 90–120 minutes depending on length and density.
