Why Spoleti Salon Uses Davines Professional Hair Color
Beautiful hair color should be customized to the person wearing it. Your natural color, hair history, texture, maintenance preferences and long-term goals all influence which formula and technique will produce the best result.
Spoleti Salon is a Davines Exclusive Concept Salon, meaning our South Austin and Pflugerville teams use Davines professional color, lightening and haircare systems. This allows our stylists to create customized color while prioritizing shine, condition and realistic maintenance.
What Makes Professional Hair Color Different?
Professional hair color is not one premixed product used the same way for every client. Stylists select and customize formulas based on factors such as:
Your natural color and undertone
Previous color and chemical services
The percentage and distribution of gray hair
Hair texture, density and porosity
Your desired tone and level of lightness
The amount of maintenance you are comfortable with
The condition of your hair
A professional colorist also controls placement, processing time and developer strength. These decisions affect the tone, coverage, dimension and condition of the finished result.

Why We Chose Davines Professional Color
Davines offers permanent, demi-permanent, toning and lightening systems that allow our stylists to choose the right formula for each client instead of forcing every color goal into one product category.
We chose Davines because the professional system supports:
Custom permanent and demi-permanent formulas
Dimensional color and natural-looking gray coverage
High-shine toning and color refreshing
Warm, neutral and cool tonal options
Professional lightening and balayage services
Flexible maintenance plans
A more cohesive color, treatment and home-care system
Davines also shares our preference for thoughtful product selection and a more environmentally conscious approach to professional beauty.
Mask with Vibrachrom: Permanent Color and Gray Coverage
Mask with Vibrachrom is Davines’ permanent cream-color system. It can be used for gray coverage, dimensional brunettes, rich reds, permanent color changes and customized tonal results.
Davines developed Vibrachrom technology to support uniform color penetration, conditioning and shine. The system includes a broad range of natural, cool, warm, blonde, brunette and red shades that our stylists can mix to create a personalized formula.
Permanent color may be appropriate when you want:
Reliable gray coverage
A lasting change in depth or tone
Rich brunette, red or copper color
Consistent root maintenance
A customized permanent result
Permanent color still requires maintenance as new hair grows. Your stylist will help you select a schedule based on your regrowth, gray percentage and preferred finish.

Demi-Permanent Color for Shine and Lower Commitment
Not every client needs permanent color. Demi-permanent formulas can refresh tone, add shine, deepen color, soften unwanted warmth and create dimension without making the same commitment as permanent color.
Spoleti Salon uses Davines demi-permanent options including View and The Present Time.
Davines View
View is an acidic demi-permanent color system commonly used to tone highlights, refresh faded lengths, enhance shine and subtly adjust the hair’s tone.
It may be recommended when you want to:
Refresh a toner between blonding appointments
Add shine to dull or faded color
Neutralize unwanted warmth
Enhance your natural tone
Blend initial gray without permanent coverage
Experiment with a tonal change before making a larger commitment
The Present Time
The Present Time is an alkaline demi-permanent system that can create additional depth and tonal change while still offering a softer grow-out than many permanent formulas.
Your stylist may choose it for rich, tone-on-tone results, dimensional color, blending and customized color that develops without creating an unnecessarily harsh line of demarcation.
The correct demi-permanent formula depends on your starting point and desired result.
Professional Blonding and Balayage
Going lighter requires more than choosing a blonde shade. Your stylist must consider your natural level, previous color, hair strength, porosity and the amount of lift needed.
Davines offers professional lightening systems for different techniques and hair needs. This allows our stylists to select a lightener based on placement, desired lift and scalp sensitivity.
Depending on your goals, your appointment may include:
Traditional highlights
Lived-in blonding
Dimensional blonde
Face-framing brightness
Balayage or freehand lightening
Rooted or shadowed blonde
Corrective lightening
Toner or gloss services

Why Toner Is an Important Part of Hair Color
Lightener removes pigment, but it does not create the final blonde tone by itself. A toner or demi-permanent gloss refines the result after lightening.
Toner can be used to create:
Cool, ashy or pearly blondes
Neutral and beige tones
Warm, golden or honey blondes
Softer transitions between highlights and natural hair
Additional shine and tonal balance
Toner gradually fades as the hair is washed. If your highlights still look good but the tone has become warmer or duller, a toner appointment may refresh your color without repeating a full lightening service.
Can Professional Color Prevent All Damage?
No color line can make chemical processing completely damage-free. Lightening and permanent color alter the hair, and the amount of stress depends on the starting condition, desired result and service performed.
Professional products give stylists greater control, but careful formulation and realistic expectations remain essential. Your stylist may recommend:
Completing a test strand
Lightening gradually over multiple appointments
Choosing a less aggressive color goal
Adding a professional bond-building treatment
Trimming compromised ends
Following a customized home-care routine
Healthy-looking color begins with an honest assessment of what your hair can safely achieve.
How to Maintain Davines Hair Color at Home
Your home-care routine can affect how long your color remains vibrant and how your hair feels between appointments.
Use color-safe products: Select shampoo and conditioner recommended for your hair type and color.
Protect against heat: Apply heat protectant before blow-drying or using hot tools.
Avoid excessive washing: Frequent shampooing may accelerate fading.
Protect your hair outdoors: Sun, chlorine and mineral buildup can affect color.
Schedule toner appointments when needed: Refreshing tone may extend the time between major color services.
Follow your stylist’s maintenance plan: Roots, toner and blonding services may require different schedules.
Spoleti Salon carries professional Davines haircare products, and our stylists can recommend a routine based on your color, texture and lifestyle.
