Line - An identifiable path of a point moving in space. It can vary in width, direction, and length.

Shape - A two-dimensional area or plane that may be organic or inorganic, free-form or geocentric, open or closed, natural or of human origin.
A line defines the inside or outside edge of a shape.

Form - A three-dimensional volume or the illusion of three dimensions; related to shape (which is 2-D).

Space - The emptiness or area between, around, above, below, or contained within objects. Shapes and forms are defined by the space around and within them, just as spaces are

Value - Light and dark; the gradations of light and dark on the surface of objects

Sandy's color is a Grey diffusion technique designed to reduce the percentage of grey while adding richness to her style as well as skin tone.

When Perry uses this effect one of the side benefits of it is that it grows out so gently. This technique can last much longer than a typical Global Color.

Step one with all of our colors is to Demineralize the hair, removing unwanted mineral coating from our water when we shampoo our hair.

Then Perry custom selects where each color will go for the desired effect. After coloring, the hair is treated with a molecular protein.

This will protect the hairs integrity adding shine as well as strength to the hair.

Additionally Sandys Design is updated adding greater styling options and fun to her classic look.

After layering Sandys hair, Perry texturized her hair with a straight edge razor, resulting in this contemporary update.

Racheals cut is a current trend release from Vidal Sassoon. Disconnected pieces add drama to the finished look.

Racheals color is a naturally dark brown which we lightened to a cool dark blonde.

This color while subtle in tone is aggressive in technique and application giving her look a classic finish. Racheals color will grow gently allowing her to repeat this

color in the future or not. To See more changes on Racheal click here Racheal @Kinney Systems

Kinney Systems uses "The Porosity Grading System" as standardized by the American Board of Certified Hair Colorists.
Allowing us to determine what hair can and cannot do chemically at any given point in time.
Once we have restored the hair to it's optimal porosity grade guaranteeing the highest quality results, we will proceed with the desired service.

This is 'The American Board of Certified Hair Colorists' Porosity Grading System"

Grade 1) compact tight cuticle; mimimal to no chemical treatment or exposure to excessive sun or mechanical styling tools; very little
resistance to coming when wet.

Grade 2) slightly rasied cuticle; mild chemical treatments; some enviromental exposure, May be up to 3 stages lighter than natural haircolor; good elasticity.

Grade 3) moderately raised cuticle; exposure to chemical treatments, and/or regular use of heat implements.

May be up to 5 stages lighter than natural haircolor; resistance to combing without conditioning treatment; fair elasticity.

Grade 4) execssively raised cuticle; excessive exposure to chemical treatments and heated implements; frizzy appearance when dry.
may be up to 7 stages lighter than natural color. poor elasticity and retangles when combed wet.

Grade 5) loss of cuticle layer; exposed to chemical treatement to the point of breakage, hair feels mushy or slimy wet.

may be up to 8 or more stages lighter than natural haircolor; breads off when wet.

Additionally we use Platinium premium lightner which contains:
- Nutri-céride (TM) to restore and protect the hair fiber
- White Beeswax to smooth and keep the hair soft
- Enveloping Lipids to help maintain the hair's natural lipid level

Lipids form part of the intercellular "cement" that is responsible for maintaining a healthy hair structure. Once the lipid level is reduced,

the hair is more prone to breakage and damage. The Platinium lightening service maintains the lipid levels, resulting in less damage and

There are two main categories of professional hair coloring products
Non oxidation Color,
a) Temporary color
These in fact cover the natural melanin. They cannot make the hair lighter than the original color.
They tend to be quickly washed away from the hair shaft, as they do not chemically alter the keratin.
Their large molecular size makes them too large to pass through or into the cuticle of the hair shaft in most cases.
The exception being higher grades of porosity of the hair. see Porosity

b) Traditional semi-permanent
These will typically resist a few shampooing's. depending on the quality of the shampoo. ( click here to view Products)

Oxidation Color
a) Semi-permanent also known as demi-permanent
Known also as direct dyes, as they need no developer and yet due to there affinity for keratin, they cover better and last longer.
Using smaller color molecules, more color enters the cortex. Cauitiaon must be used as porosity will play a large part in color
selection.
b) Permanent.
As Oxidative colors or Oxidation color contain two components which create a chemical change in the hair, thus effecting the porosity.

All hair color types have their place in creating this art form, however it is our belief that a detailed understanding of each is invaluable

Why Color Fades• Here are the top three reasons 1)Washing the hair = approx. 45% • 2)Sunlight = approx. 40% • 3)Environment = approx. 15%
How can you make your Color last longer?
Shampooing half as often, perhaps rinsing the hair in between shampooing's will reduce the 45 percent issue considerably.
