WOULDN'T
WOULDN'T THAT BE SOMETHING? HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR EVERYBODY.
>> GREAT ADVICE.
SO WERE YOU ONE OF THE THOUSAND
PEOPLE DID THEIR OWN HAIR AND
DURING THE PANDEMIC WELL A LOT
OF MEN AND WOMEN HAVE GONE TO
GREAT LENGTHS TO KEEP THEIR
HAIR LOOKING GOOD AND REDUCE
THE TIME SPENT SITTING IN A
SALON RECENTLY RUDI'S BARBER
SHOP IN SEATTLE OPENED A COLOR
BAR IN PIONEER SQUARE AND
STYLIST ELI HOWARD LET ME IN ON
A FEW TRICKS TO EXTEND YOUR
COLOR AND REDUCE TRIPS TO THE
SALON.
>> WELL, I'M SO GLAD TO TALK
ABOUT THIS.
>> LIKE I SAID, I THINK IT'S
GENIUS BUT IT IS SURPRISING.
WHY DID RUDI'S CREATE A COLOR
BAR IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC
?
>> WE MADE THAT DECISION
BECAUSE WE WANT OUR GUESTS TO
BE ABLE TO STILL FEEL PAMPERED,
HAVE A PLACE TO GO GET THEIR
HAIR DONE.
AND IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE I
DON'T WANT YOU TO HAVE THAT
EXPERIENCE AND I STILL WANT TO
WORK BUT WE NEED TO DO IT ALL
WITHIN LIKE THE SAFETY
PARAMETERS.
SO THE COLOR BAR WAS SOMETHING
THAT WE CREATED SO THAT WE CAN
HAVE THAT SPACE TO STAY UNDER
ALL OF THE GUIDELINES AND STILL
GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED AS A
GUEST.
>> WHAT IS A COLOR?
CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT?
SO THAT'S A SPECIAL AREA WHERE
WE'RE ISOLATING IT JUST TO DO
COLOR THAT WAY BECAUSE YOU
KNOW, THOSE SERVICES TEND TO
TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE WILL FEEL MORE
COMFORTABLE IN A SEPARATE SPACE
WHERE THEY CAN HAVE THAT
SERVICE DONE AND NOT HAVE TO BE
AROUND IN AND NOW WITH PEOPLE
GETTING THEIR HAIR CUT.
CAN YOU TALK TO WAS ABOUT THE
TECHNIQUES TODAY GRAY BLENDING
IN GLOSS I CALL THE GRAY
BLENDING A LUNCHTIME SERVICE.
>> IT TAKES ABOUT PROBABLY LIKE
FIVE TO 10 MINUTES TO PROCESS.
SO IT'S SOMETHING WHERE YOU CAN
DO SOME MAINTENANCE AND SOME
UPKEEP ON WHAT YOU ALREADY
HAVE.
IT'S GOING TO HELP YOU ADD A
LITTLE BIT OF DEPTH AND SHINE
TO YOUR HAIR, MAKE IT LOOK A
LITTLE FULLER WHO IS THE IDEAL
CLIENT?
SO THE IDEAL CLIENT FOR GRAY
BLENDING IS GOING TO BE SOMEONE
WHO'S GOT SHORTER HAIR, A
LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME AND ONCE
A SERVICE THAT IS GOING TO HELP
GIVE THEM SOME DIMENSION BACK
INTO THEIR HAIR.
>> THEY'VE ULTIMATELY LIKE
EMBRACED THEIR GRAYS AND THEY
JUST WANT TO SORT OF ENHANCE
THEM A LITTLE BIT.
>> OK.
WHAT ABOUT A GLOSS?
I THINK IS THAT WHAT I NEED TO
COME IN FOR A GLASS?
DON'T I JUST SIT.
>> YEAH YOU COULD DO THAT.
YOU COULD TOTALLY IS A GLASS.
>> YOUR HAIR LOOKS REALLY GOOD
.
I THINK THAT MAYBE ADDING A
LITTLE BIT MORE SHINE AND
NATURAL LUSTER TO IT IS WHAT A
GLOSS WOULD DO FOR YOU IF YOU
ALREADY HAVE HIGHLIGHTS, IF
YOU'VE ALREADY GOT A BALRAJ OR
ANDRE GOING ON IT'S JUST GOING
TO ENHANCE WHAT YOU HAVE AND
MAYBE SHIFT THE TONALITY A
LITTLE BIT AND IT DOESN'T
CHANGE THE COLOR MUCH DOES IT?
>> NOT MUCH AND I ALWAYS
RECOMMEND IT FOR MY LONGER HAIR
AND CLIENTS WHO ALSO DON'T HAVE
A TON OF TIME BECAUSE THAT'S
ABOUT A FIFTEEN MINUTE SERVICE
AND THEN YOU GET YOUR BLOW OUT
AFTERWARDS BUT IT GIVES YOU
LOTS SHINE AND GIVES YOU LUSTER
GIVES YOU SOME DEPTH TO YOUR
HAIR.
IT'S A REALLY GOOD ONE FOR
LONGER HAIR CLIENTS BUT IF I AM
DOING MY HAIR AT HOME AND WE
WANT TO TRY TO EXTEND IT KEEP
OUR COLOR LOOKING GOOD.
>> YOU HAVE THE FEW HAIR HACKS
AND TIPS FOR US RIGHT?
YEAH.
I'VE GOT A COUPLE ACTUALLY SO
IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A
LITTLE BIT OF NEW GROWTH YOU
KNOW WHERE YOU GET THAT KIND
OF STARK LINE THAT HAPPENS WHEN
YOU CHOOSE GRAY BLENDING OR YOU
CHOOSE A GLOSS.
THERE IS NO LINE
OF DEMARCATION.
IT'S ALL A VERY SOFT AND
NATURAL LOOKING GIRL OUT AND
THEN SOME OF THE TIPS THAT WE
OFFER WHEN YOU COME IN IS JUST
TO CHANGE YOUR PART JUST
SLIGHTLY BECAUSE SOME AREAS
TEND TO GET A LITTLE LIGHTER.
BUT IF YOU SWITCH YOUR PART
AROUND, YOU'RE GOING TO GET
VOLUME AND YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK
LIKE YOU STILL HAVE THAT
COVERAGE WITH THEIR COLOR
SHADES YOUR.
>> BECAUSE I MEAN THEY'RE THE
DEMARCATION IS RIGHT THERE.
LET'S BE REAL IT'S HAPPENED.
IT HAPPENS.
>> IT HAPPENS.
BUT WHAT THAT GLOSSING SERVICE
YOU DON'T GET THAT SUPER
STRAIGHT LINE.
YEAH.
THAT LOOKS REALLY GOOD.
>> LIKE A REALLY GOOD TRICK.
I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BUT
YEAH THE HAIR IT CHANGES.
BUT WHAT OTHER THINGS CAN I DO
AT HOME TO REALLY TRY TO HELP
MY HAIR GET HEALTHY AND KEEP IT
THE COLOR LONGER?
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF OPTIONS
THERE ARE COLORS SAFE COLOR
PROTECTING.
>> MY RECOMMENDATION IS ALWAYS
SULFATE FREE.
THAT'S WHAT WE USE HERE AND I
WANT IT I WANT IT TO BE
SOMETHING THAT'S EASY FOR YOU
TO DO AT HOME AS WELL.
SO IF YOU CAN DO A DEEP
CONDITIONING TREATMENT AT HOME
AND WE CAN DO IT HERE FOR YOU
WHATEVER WORKS BUT I DEFINITELY
RECOMMEND THE COLOR PROTECTING
SHAMPOOS AND CONDITIONERS.
>> HOW OFTEN SHOULD WE D
CONDITION?
>> I'D SAY MAYBE LIKE TWICE A
MONTH.
TWICE A MONTH.
OK.
>> WHAT IS RUDI'S DOING BY THE
WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
COOLABAH IS 100 PERCENT SAFE?
I LIKE THAT YOU MENTIONED HOW
IT IS SEPARATE APART FROM THE
REST OF RUDI'S.
WHAT ARE SOME OTHER PRECAUTIONS
ARE TAKING?
>> SO IT DOES REQUIRED WHEN YOU
COME IN THAT YOU DO WEAR A
MASK.
ALL OF OUR STYLISTS ARE GOING
TO WEAR THEM AS WELL AND IF YOU
DON'T HAVE ONE WE CAN
DEFINITELY PROVIDE THAT FOR
YOU.
SOME OTHER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ARE GOING TO BE HEALTH
SCREENINGS AND WE CAN ALSO DO
TEMPERATURE CHECKS.
YOU COULD SEE HOW EXCITED I WAS
BY THOSE TIPS ESPECIALLY
CHANGING YOUR PART SEEMS EVERY
DAY THERE'S NEW INFORMATION
COMING UP ABOUT THE KOVIK
VACCINE.
WITH THAT IN MIND, Q5 HAS PUT
TOGETHER A TEAM THAT'S
DEDICATED TO COVERING ALL
