About Fashion Color
Make a bold statement with Fashion Color at Manhattan Barbershop NYC's Chelsea location. This premium creative coloring service is designed for confident, style-forward clients who want to stand out with vibrant, unconventional hair colors. Whether you're envisioning electric blue, forest green, sleek silver gray, vivid pink, fire-engine red, or any other fashion-forward shade, our expert colorists bring your vision to life using professional, high-pigment color formulas. Fashion colors are perfect for musicians, artists, creatives, and anyone who wants their hair to be an expression of their personality and style. The process typically involves pre-lightening hair to create a clean canvas, then applying rich, saturated color for maximum vibrancy and impact. We can create full-head color transformations, strategic placement for subtle pops of color, or ombré and gradient effects. This comprehensive 2-hour service includes consultation, color preparation, application, processing, toning, professional shampooing with color-safe products, and styling. Our colorists will also provide detailed aftercare instructions to maximize color longevity and maintain vibrancy between appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fashion colors typically last 4-8 weeks depending on the shade, your hair porosity, and how you care for it. Vivid colors like blue, pink, and red fade gradually over time. We'll provide color-safe shampoo recommendations and care tips to maximize longevity. Some clients refresh color every 4-6 weeks.
Yes, though the process varies based on the fashion color used. Some colors fade naturally over time, while others may require color correction to return to natural tones. We'll discuss this during your consultation and create a plan that works for your lifestyle and commitment level.
Any chemical coloring process affects hair, but we use professional products and techniques to minimize damage. The pre-lightening step is the most impactful, so we'll assess your hair's health first. We also use bond-building treatments and deep conditioners to maintain hair strength and integrity.
