Hair color should feel personal. The right shade can brighten your complexion, add dimension to your haircut, cover gray, or completely transform your look. At Landis Lifestyle Salon, every color service is customized around your hair, preferences, and desired level of maintenance.
Our experienced colorists work with guests seeking everything from subtle, natural-looking color to bold fashion shades. We take the time to understand your vision, assess your hair’s current condition, and choose the right technique to create a result that feels unmistakably yours.

Hair Color Designed Specifically for You
Custom hair color goes beyond selecting a shade from a chart. Your natural color, skin tone, hair texture, previous treatments, and daily routine can all affect which formula and application method will deliver the best result.
Your Landis colorist will consider these details before developing a personalized color plan. Whether you want a small change or a dramatic transformation, we will help you choose a color that complements your features and fits the way you live.
Our custom color services can be used to:
- Refresh faded or dull hair color
- Cover or blend gray hair
- Add richness and shine
- Create natural-looking dimension
- Lighten or deepen your current shade
- Balance uneven or unwanted tones
- Create vivid, pastel, or fashion-inspired color
- Coordinate your color with a new haircut or style
Explore Your Custom Hair Color Options
Every guest starts from a different place and has a different goal. That is why our colorists use a range of techniques instead of applying the same solution to everyone.
One-Step Hair Color
One-step color, also known as single-process color, applies one customized formula to the hair. It may be recommended when you want to deepen your existing shade, refresh your overall color, improve gray coverage, or achieve a more uniform result.
Your colorist will formulate the shade based on your starting color and desired finish. The result can range from soft and natural to rich and noticeably different.
Two-Step Hair Color
Some transformations require more than one color process. Two-step color may be appropriate when the hair needs to be lightened before the final shade is applied or when the desired result requires a more significant change.
Because lightening can affect the condition of the hair, your stylist will evaluate your hair before recommending a two-step service. Some transformations may need to be completed over multiple appointments to support the health and integrity of your hair.
Dimensional Color
Dimensional color combines lighter and darker tones to add movement, contrast, and depth. Depending on your goals, your colorist may recommend highlights, lowlights, foils, balayage, foilyage, babylights, or a combination of techniques.
Dimensional color can be subtle enough to mimic natural variations in the hair or bold enough to create a more noticeable transformation.
Gray Coverage and Blending
Gray hair does not have to be treated with a single approach. Some guests prefer complete coverage, while others want to soften the contrast and let their natural silver grow in gradually.
We can develop a personalized plan based on your percentage of gray, natural color, preferred maintenance schedule, and desired finish. Your stylist can explain the difference between full coverage and gray blending so you can choose the option that works for you.
Creative and Fashion Color
Custom color can also be expressive. From vibrant statement shades to soft pastels and multidimensional creative looks, our colorists can help turn your inspiration into a wearable result.
Fashion colors often require pre-lightening and ongoing maintenance. Your stylist will discuss what is realistically achievable, how many sessions may be needed, and how to care for the color at home.
Your Custom Color Consultation
A successful color appointment begins with a clear conversation. Before applying color, your stylist will talk with you about:
- Your current color and previous chemical services
- Any permanent color, lightener, henna, or at-home dye used on your hair
- The shades and techniques you are considering
- Your usual styling and haircare routine
- How frequently you want to return for maintenance
- The condition, length, density, and texture of your hair
- Inspiration photos and the features you like about them
Being open about your complete color history helps your stylist create a safer, more realistic plan. Hair that has been previously colored may respond differently than untreated hair, even when the old color is no longer visible.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Once you and your stylist agree on a direction, they will prepare a custom formula and apply it using the technique selected for your hair. The length of your visit will depend on your starting point, hair length and density, and the complexity of the requested result.
Some services can be completed in one appointment. Major lightening, corrective work, and certain creative colors may require more than one session. Your stylist will explain the process and set clear expectations before beginning.
After the color has processed, your hair will be cleansed and finished so you can see how the new shade works with your cut, texture, and overall style.
Personalized Color With Aveda Products
As an Aveda salon, Landis Lifestyle Salon uses professional Aveda products throughout its hair and beauty services. Our colorists combine these products with technical knowledge, thoughtful formulation, and careful application to create personalized results.
Your stylist can also recommend Aveda haircare products suited to your color, texture, and condition. Using the right products at home can help protect your hair and maintain the tone and appearance of your new color between visits. Learn more about Landis hair-coloring services.
Maintaining Your New Hair Color
The maintenance needs of custom color vary. An all-over shade or gray-coverage service may require regular root appointments, while blended dimensional color may offer a softer grow-out.
To help your color last, your stylist may recommend that you:
- Use professional products made for color-treated hair
- Avoid washing your hair immediately after the service
- Wash with lukewarm rather than very hot water
- Limit unnecessary heat styling
- Apply heat protection before using hot tools
- Protect your hair from strong sun and chlorine
- Schedule toning, glossing, or root services as recommended
We will help you understand the upkeep before your color is applied. That way, you can choose a result that fits both your style and your schedule.

I had a terrific experience with Josie. The salon is clean, bright and friendly, the hair washing chairs have a relaxing back massager. I could tell that Josie was truly taking care of my hair and she me a perfect hair cut. The front desk is also cheerful and helpful with products.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Hair Color
What makes a hair color service custom?
A custom service is planned around your natural color, previous treatments, hair condition, skin tone, desired result, and maintenance preferences. Your stylist selects the formula and application technique specifically for your hair.
Should I arrive with clean or unwashed hair?
Preparation can depend on the service being performed and the condition of your hair. Ask the salon when booking if your stylist has specific instructions. Avoid arriving with heavy product buildup unless directed otherwise.
Can custom color cover gray hair?
Yes. Custom color may be used for complete gray coverage or softer gray blending. Your colorist will recommend an approach based on your natural shade, percentage of gray, and preferred upkeep.
Can previously colored hair be made lighter?
It may be possible, but artificial color cannot always be safely removed or lightened in one appointment. Your stylist must consider your full color history and the condition of your hair before recommending a process.
How long will my custom color appointment take?
Appointment time depends on the technique, hair length and density, starting color, and desired result. Simple color services generally take less time than dimensional color, major lightening, corrective work, or fashion color. The salon can provide more guidance once it understands the service you need.
How much does custom hair color cost?
Pricing varies based on the service performed and the experience level of the stylist. Hair length, density, product requirements, and the complexity of the desired result may also affect pricing. Contact Landis Lifestyle Salon for current pricing and scheduling information.
How often will I need a touch-up?
It depends on your chosen color. Gray coverage and all-over color typically require more frequent root maintenance, while balayage and other blended techniques may grow out more softly. Your stylist will recommend a schedule based on your specific result.
Can I book custom color for a major transformation?
Yes, but a consultation may be needed before a significant change. Moving from very dark hair to blonde, correcting uneven color, or creating certain fashion shades may require several sessions.
