Our Hair Color Services
Riggs Mitchell Salon & Suites is a Bhave Australia concept salon in Folsom, CA, offering professional hair color services for every goal and starting point. From routine root maintenance to complex color correction, every appointment is performed by trained colorists using UV-stable, keratin-infused formulations and begins with a consultation to ensure your result is safe, achievable, and built to last.
Root Touch-Up
From $60 · 50 min
Your root touch-up at Riggs Mitchell begins with a shade-match consultation, not a guess from a color chart. New growth is assessed against your existing tone, and your formula is mixed at the bowl specifically to blend the two seamlessly. We use Bhave Australia’s keratin-infused color system at every appointment, which bonds deeper into the cortex than standard oxidative dye. In Folsom’s UV 10+ climate, that depth of bond is the difference between color that holds for six weeks and color that shifts in three.
Vivid & Fashion Color
From $120 · 90 min
Vivid color demands more technical precision in Folsom than almost anywhere else. With a UV index sustained at 10+ from May through September, direct-dye pigments face oxidative pressure the moment you leave the salon. At Riggs Mitchell, every vivid service includes a base lightness assessment, custom pigment formulation built to your skin tone, and a UV-barrier seal applied before rinse. Whether you’re going jewel-toned, pastel, rose gold, or multi-tone, your result is engineered for Folsom’s conditions, not borrowed from a trend board.
Gloss & Toner Refresh
From $55 · 60 min
Not every appointment needs to be a full color service. A professional gloss or toner refreshes your existing color, corrects brassiness, and restores mirror-like shine in a single focused session. In Folsom’s summer months, when UV radiation accelerates tone fade on a five-to-six-week cycle, a gloss refresh is the smartest way to protect your color investment between major appointments. We select gloss or toner based on your hair’s actual state: gloss for faded shine and richness, toner for targeted neutralization of unwanted warmth or brassiness.
Full Color Transformation
From $150 · 90 min
A full color transformation is a structural re-formulation of your hair’s entire pigment system. Going from dark to light, warm to cool, or removing years of box-dye buildup requires more than a single formula; it requires planning. At Riggs Mitchell, we assess your porosity, previous chemical history, and underlying pigment before a brush is lifted. From that assessment, we build a lift trajectory, toner target, and bond-strengthening protocol. If your goal requires two sessions to execute safely, we tell you that at the consultation before you commit.
Color Correction
Priced at Consultation · 90-180 min
Color correction starts with honesty. Before any product is mixed, we assess your hair’s current integrity, map the zones requiring correction, and tell you exactly what is achievable and on what timeline. Every correction at Riggs Mitchell includes Bhave bond pre-treatment at every chemical step because corrective work places significantly more stress on the strand than a standard service, and protecting the internal structure is non-negotiable. Whether you’re dealing with banding, uneven lift, over-toned results, or box-dye damage, correction is planned, sequenced, and delivered transparently.
Gray Blending
From $80 · 60 min
Full gray coverage works, but it demands a strict four-to-five-week maintenance schedule. Gray blending offers a more flexible alternative for clients who want their gray softened rather than erased. Using a demi-permanent formula calibrated to your gray’s natural tone and density, we reduce the visual contrast between gray and colored hair without committing to full opaque coverage. The result reads as natural, multi tonal variation. New growth blends gradually rather than announcing itself at the root line. Most blending clients return every six to eight weeks, many extend further in Folsom’s winter months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which hair color service is right for me?
The right service depends on your current hair state and your goal. Root touch-up handles regrowth only. Gloss and toner refresh handles between-appointment tone maintenance. Gray blending reduces the visual contrast of gray without full coverage. Gray integration features your natural silver as part of a dimensional design. Vivid color delivers direct-dye fashion pigments. Full color transformation handles dramatic shade shifts or complex corrections. Color correction addresses damage or previous color mistakes. If you are unsure, book a consultation, and we will assess your hair and tell you exactly what your goal requires.
How often should I come in for color in Folsom's climate?
It depends on your service. Root touch-up: every 4–6 weeks in summer, 6–8 weeks in winter. Gloss refresh: every 6–8 weeks year-round, or more frequently if you swim regularly. Vivid color: every 4–6 weeks in peak UV season to maintain vibrancy. Gray blending: every 6–10 weeks. Gray integration: every 10–12 weeks. We confirm your specific interval at every appointment based on your hair’s current state.
What is Bhave Australia and why does it matter in Folsom?
Bhave Australia is a professional hair care brand built around keratin bond technology. Their color system bonds more deeply into the cortex than standard oxidative color, slowing the UV-driven oxidation that causes tone shift in high-UV markets like Folsom. We are a Bhave concept salon; it is not an add-on or an upsell. It is the formula standard at every hair color appointment.
Can you match colors from a different salon?
Yes. Bring photos of your previous results and, if possible, the brand and shade your previous stylist used. We assess your current tone, porosity, and growth pattern and build a formula that matches or improves on what you had before. We do not guess from a color chart.
Do you do color correction?
Yes. Our color correction service handles banding, brassiness, uneven lift, box-dye damage, home bleach aftermath, and over-toned muddy results. Correct pricing is quoted at the consultation. We do not price correction work without seeing the current state of your hair.
Is vivid color safe for chemically treated hair?
Vivid direct-dye color does not use a developer and does not chemically alter the hair structure; it deposits pigment on the surface of the cuticle. It is inherently less chemically stressful than oxidative color. However, if your hair requires pre-lightening before vivid pigment can be applied, the lightening step is a chemical service to plan carefully. We assess your hair’s current integrity and determine whether lightening is appropriate at your first appointment.
What is the difference between gray blending and gray integration?
Gray blending reduces the visual contrast between your gray and your colored hair using a demi-permanent formula. The gray is softened, not featured. Gray integration deliberately features your natural silver as the lightest element in a designed dimensional color composition using selective lightening, tonal placement, and a shadow root to make the gray part of the design. Integration grows out the most gracefully and requires the least maintenance of any gray approach.
