Embrace a Natural, Glamorous Look with Expert Techniques

Say goodbye to harsh lines and hello to seamless color that turns heads!


Discover the power of gray coverage and gray blending to transform your look — whether you want to conceal gray hair completely or subtly blend it for a natural effect, these techniques can give you a refreshed appearance while enhancing your unique style.


What Is Gray Hair Blending?

Gray blending is a versatile color technique designed to softly incorporate your natural gray into a cohesive, flattering look.


Unlike full gray coverage which conceals all your natural gray gray blending uses a mix of highlights and lowlights to create a seamless color pattern. Gray is Glamorous when it’s blended, adding dimension and softness that can suit blonde, brunette, auburn, or red hair tones.


At cLio, our stylists use expert techniques to blend gray hair with highlights and lowlights, achieving a customized effect that complements your natural shade. Whether you have dark hair or light, gray blending can add depth and dimension while preserving your gray’s natural beauty.





Lean In: A Softer Natural Look

Why choose gray blending?

  1. Low-Maintenance Style: Gray blending lets you enjoy a longer-lasting color look with fewer salon visits. Unlike full gray coverage, which requires regular touch-ups, gray blending naturally incorporates your grays, reducing the need for frequent appointments.

  2. Gradual Transition to Gray: This technique allows you to gracefully transition to a more natural gray over time, without the abrupt shift that can come with full coverage color.

  3. Customizable for Every Shade: From silver-gray highlights on blondes to babylights for blending gray on dark hair, our gray blending services are tailored to each client’s needs.


The High-Maintenance Option: Full Gray Coverage

While gray blending is ideal for a softer, gradual look, full gray coverage is a great choice for those who prefer a uniform color without any visible gray. Full coverage requires a more frequent maintenance schedule to keep up with new growth, which means more time in the salon to maintain a consistent look. However, it’s the right option if you’re looking for a bold, all-over color without any sign of grays.


The Right Maintenance for Gray Hair

When you embrace gray, Expert Color Formulas and Style make a world of difference. Caring for gray hair also requires thoughtful maintenance at home.


Here are a few recommendations:

  • Hydrating Hair Products: Gray hair can be drier than you’re used to, so it’s crucial to use hydrating shampoos, conditioners, and treatments. Hydrating products help keep hair soft, shiny, and manageable — especially important if your hair is frizz-prone.

  • Glosses for Tone and Shine: If you’re looking to enhance shine and smoothness while toning down any brassiness, ask your stylist about glossing treatments. A gloss adds shine, balances out any yellow or brassy tones, and locks in moisture to help reduce frizz. It’s a fantastic option for those looking to add a little extra polish to their blended gray.

  • Clarifying Shampoo: Environmental factors can leave buildup on your hair, dulling its natural beauty. Use a clarifying shampoo once or twice a month to refresh your hair by removing impurities and restoring a lightweight, clean feel.
