Red Heads

Reds this fall, keep it cool. Add cool tone highlights/ accents to create an updated look. We recommend a natural red, still bold, still strong, but natural.



Blonde Hair


For those of you who love your blonde, no worries, cool it down with a few strategically placed low lights. To keep the look natural deepen the blonde just a little to keep it looking natural.
For those of you with color in your hair book an appointment with a professional for a partial high light & glaze.




Brunettes


For fall Brunettes deepen the base color and keep some of the summer brunette tones as a highlight. The best way to do this is to have a professional work their magic. Section out some hair into foils with and use the darker color on hair not in foils. Then use another color on the hair in foils to get a shiny/ healthy color.

Why get professional color, and why ask for Goldwell?

Great hair color is in an art. So, get out of the box and into the hands of an artist!

Look at your hair in the mirror. Analyze the undertones of your natural hair color and the condition of the hair. Now ask yourself exactly what it will take for you to become a flaxen blonde, fiery redhead, or toffee-toned brunette within the next hour. Answer: a Goldwell trained haircare professional, otherwise known as an Artist.

When you get your hair colored by a Goldwell trained haircare professional, you get shimmering, long-lasting hair color that looks terrific with your skin tone and eye color. Plus, you'll enjoy healthy, shiny locks that are more manageable than ever.r

In the hands of an Artist, you can get:

• A custom shade created just for you. No one else in the world will have your exact hair color when your Goldwell colorist customizes a color formula and determines exactly how it will look when applied over the color you have now. Want your color a tad lighter? A bit less red? Incredibly caramelized? Colorists can do it. Highlights just where you want them. Colorists are trained in all the newest techniques, from baliage hair painting to tone-on-tone foiling. Not only can they give you the exact shade of highlights you want; they can position them right where you want them and adjust the size to create everything from shimmering micro-lights to bold color-chunks.
  
  
• Hair color that makes your cut look better. Instead of a hairdo, you'll enjoy a total hair design when a colorist applies color to enhance your haircut and even your hair's natural movement.
  
  
• Natural-looking, long-lasting gray coverage. Gray isn't like pigmented hair; it's coarser, thicker and harder to cover up. Not only can a Goldwell professional make gray go away, they can make your new color look entirely natural, shiny, healthy and youthful.
  
  
• High-fashion color without the worry. If you like the idea of changing your color frequently or want an exciting "better than nature" shade, colorists can create revved-up reds, butterscotch blondes and even hot pink-if you want it. And they can do it gently, without leaving your hair dry or damaged.

For the color of your dreams, go to a professional salon. Because there are some things you shouldn't try at home...

A little History...

Working in a 10-by-10 foot suite in Colorado wasn't Tabatha Berget-Barnaby's idea of a satisfying job. The dream on this Monroe, Wisconsin native was to work in a salon atmosphere with a team effort, and this idea ultimately led to the February 2004 opening of Julia Grace Salon on Madison's west side.

The birth of Julia Grace Salon took place only after the birth of Berget-Barnaby's two daughters, Julia and Grace, after whom the salon is named. While Berget-Barnaby supports both her daughters and her salon's development, it was her hometown banker in New Glarus, Sugar River Bank, that helped to finalcially support Julia Grace Salon and turn Berget-Barnaby's dream into a reality.

Having owned and operated a salon in Colorado, Berget-Barnaby already had an idea of how she wanted to run her business. "If you treat people with respect, you get it back in return, " she said of her customers and employees.

Julia Grace Salon attempts to create a unique salon atmosphere which consists of employees and independent beauty contractors, offering diversity in style and substance. "I have a great staff," said a grateful Berget-Barnaby after recently leaving them unsupervised while she vacationed for 11 days.

While there will always be challenges when opening a new business, the construction of the 1,400 square-foot Julia Grace Salon in the Princeton Club West went smoothly with the help of The Renschler Company. The salon is open to club members and non-members, alike, and it strikes a chord with parents because daycare is provided by the club for a small fee.

Knowing what she knows about the salon business, does Berget-Barnaby envision her own children, Julia, age 10, and Grace, age 8 - taking over their salon namesake? "if they're interested, that would be great, but I would never force it on them," she replied. "You just never know!"
