American Crew recommends Precision Blend 15 Volume Developer in order to produce optimal results for gray blending. Use in conjunction with American Crew Precision Blend Shades: Light, Medium Ash, Medium Natural and Dark.
Choose a shade of American Crew® Precision Blend that matches your clients natural hair color. Perform a quick allergy test according to the warnings on the color product.
Mix the developer in a 1:1 ratio with the chosen Precision Blend Shade in a color bowl. In general, about 20 mL/0.68oz of color will be needed to complete the service on a client with hair that is 1 inch long.
Choose from the four American Crew® techniques, based on the texture and length of your clients hair. Each of the techniques can be used with light, medium or heavy product application to provide 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% gray blending.
For a natural look, allow gray to peek out at key areas such as sideburns and temples. Perform each technique efficiently, trying to keep the application time under four minutes.
In just a few minutes, you can make your client look and feel five years younger.
Precision Blend gray blending service doesn't require a special visit to the salon, with embarrassing foils, long waits at the shampoo bowl, and other things that sometimes make men nervous.
You can up-sell and provide the entire service during a standard haircut appointment.
Most of the techniques can be performed in less than four minutes and the color needs just five minutes to process on the hair.
