What is gray blending for men?

Ten minutes in the chair, $40, and nobody at work asks whether you colored your hair. That is the whole pitch.

Gray blending is not the same job as women’s color. It does not strip the gray out and replace it; it tones the gray down, so it reads as salt and pepper instead of gray. The change is deliberately subtle. You look like yourself on a good month, and because nothing is flat or solid, there is no hard line growing out three weeks later.

The product I use for it is Paul Mitchell’s ten minute color, which is built for exactly this. Ten minutes means it fits inside a regular cut appointment without adding real time, so most men just tack it on.

He is especially good with color. He takes the time to both listen to what his client wants, and also analyze what is possible given an individual’s hair structure.
