You'll consult for hours at your favorite makeup counter about what's best for your complexion - why not do the same when it comes to coloring your hair? The L'Oréal Professionnel Haircolor Center, or "color bar," allows clients and stylists to converge pre-treatment over an array of hues and options to help facilitate dialogue and demystify the process for the coloree. And the system benefits both parties: clients can "try on" new looks with available swatches of colored hair, while stylists are kept up to date on new products, trends, and techniques through the center's strong ties to L'Oréal. Locally, SalonCapri (31 Lincoln Street, Newton, 617.969.1970; 1207 River Street, Hyde Park, 617.361.3830) was chosen as the site for the first Haircolor Center in Massachusetts, one of only 10 in the country. And since the salon is celebrating its 40th anniversary (along with some new renovations), all L'Oréal Professionnel Haircolor Center services are 40 percent off (for new clients only) through the end of October.
