Describe the regrowth
Explain where you notice the contrast and when you last colored your hair. A current photo can help start the conversation, but the salon may need to assess your hair before recommending a booking.

Root touch-ups.
Your gray coverage goals.
New growth and visible gray can raise different color questions. Use this guide to explain what you want covered or blended, then contact Bliss & Blade in Foster City to confirm the appropriate service and availability.
Discuss your appointment
Where to apply color.
What you want it to do.
A root touch-up concerns the regrowth area. Gray coverage describes a color goal. You might want to address both at once, or discuss a different approach based on the look you prefer.
Coverage or a softer blend
Say whether your goal is to conceal gray as fully as possible or make it less noticeable while keeping some variation. Ask which options are available for your hair and preferred upkeep.
Consider the lengths separately
Tell the stylist whether you like the color through your lengths. A root request does not automatically mean recoloring all of your hair; confirm the scope of the appointment.
Before your
appointment.
Use these details to plan your visit and discuss your preferences with the salon.
Share your color history
Mention salon color, at-home dye and other chemical services, with approximate dates. Include any color you have applied since your last salon visit.
Bring your maintenance preferences
Explain how frequently you want to return and how much visible regrowth you are comfortable with. Discuss that preference before deciding on a color plan.
Confirm the appointment
Ask which service to select, what is included and the expected price and duration. Contact the salon before reserving if the booking menu does not describe your request.

A few things
to know.
Answers to help you plan your visit to Bliss & Blade.
Is a root touch-up the same as full hair color?
A root touch-up focuses on new growth. Full color involves a different scope of work. Share your current hair and desired result so the salon can confirm the appropriate booking.
Is gray coverage the same as gray blending?
Coverage and blending describe different goals: concealing gray more fully or softening its contrast. Ask about the available approach and expected result for your hair.
How often will I need to return?
The plan depends on your growth, color contrast and preferred appearance. Ask for an individual return schedule and see our color maintenance guide.
Can I reserve this through the standard color menu?
Confirm the exact service with the salon first, especially if you have previous color or want changes through the lengths. Call (650) 435-2984 for help choosing.
