Color can change the way your hair catches the light, frame your features differently, or take your look somewhere entirely new. At HBI, our hair color specialists approach every shade individually, from subtle tonal adjustments and gray coverage to dimensional color and major transformations, always beginning with what works for you.
Create Dimension From Root to End
Hair color uses professional formulations to alter, enhance, or refine the natural or existing pigment in your hair. Depending on the specific technique, it can deepen or lighten your shade, cover or blend gray, adjust unwanted tones, add richness, or create a new color. The formulation and application are selected based on your starting point, desired result, hair condition, and maintenance preferences, making professional color a highly customizable service.
What Hair Coloring Does
Professional color can make a subtle correction or completely change the direction of your hair. Depending on your starting shade, goals, and chosen technique, it can:
- Deepen your natural or existing shade with richer pigment
- Lighten hair to create a brighter overall appearance
- Cover gray for a more uniform, opaque result
- Blend gray for a softer transition into your natural color
- Correct unwanted warmth, brassiness, or uneven tones
- Enhance dimension by introducing complementary tones
- Refresh faded or dull-looking color between larger changes
- Transform your existing color into an entirely new shade
Our Hair Color Services
Color
Whether you want to deepen your natural shade, cover gray, refresh faded color, or make a noticeable change, our hair color specialists customize the formulation around your starting point. We also use professional Redken color and consider your hair’s specific condition, undertones, and maintenance preferences to create a result that feels considered from roots to ends.
Tap Root/Smudge
A root tap or root smudge softens the transition between your roots and the color through your lengths. By applying a carefully selected shade at the root, your hair color specialist can blur harsh lines, add subtle depth, and create a more seamless grow-out, particularly after highlighting or lightening services, while maintaining dimension throughout your hair.
On-Scalp Bleach
On-scalp bleach is a lightening service applied at the roots and scalp to achieve significant lift, often for an all-over blonde or other high-lift result. Because this requires careful formulation and application, your hair color specialist evaluates your starting color, scalp, hair condition, and color history before determining whether the technique is appropriate for your desired look.
Glaze
A glaze is a finishing color service used to refine tone, refresh existing color, and add shine without making a dramatic change. It can help neutralize unwanted warmth, enhance a shade you already love, or bring faded-looking color back to life. Your hair color specialist selects the tone according to your existing color and intended finish.

Why Choose HBI for Hair Color?
Redken Black Elite
Color is one of the places where HBI’s relationship with Redken matters most. As a Redken Black Elite member, with Redken Color Certified specialists on our team, we work within a culture where formulation, technique, and continuing color education are taken seriously.
An International Perspective
HBI has been Chattanooga’s only Intercoiffure salon since 1990, connecting our team to an international community of leading hair artists. Our stylists have taken their work to New York, France, Italy, and Brazil, and brought what they learned back to the chair in Chattanooga.
Ahead of the Curve
Long before balayage, ombré, and hair painting filled social feeds, HBI was already bringing these color techniques to Chattanooga. It is part of a pattern stretching back decades: travel, learn what is happening elsewhere, master what is worth knowing, and introduce it here thoughtfully.
Formulated for You
The most sophisticated color is still personal. Before choosing a formula, we look at what is already there (your natural shade, previous color, condition, undertones, and maintenance routine), then talk about where you want to go. The technique follows the conversation.
