Ammonia-Free Hair Color
At Apotheca, we believe beautiful hair color should never come at the expense of your hair’s health or the environment. As a premier Aveda salon, we proudly use 100% Vegan Treatment Hair Color, crafted with up to 96% naturally derived, plant-based ingredients like sunflower, castor, and jojoba oils. For guests seeking a gentle approach, two of our signature color lines are completely ammonia-free. Our Enlightenment Blonding system delivers maximum, luminous lift while protecting the hair cuticle, making it the perfect choice for brilliant highlights and balayage. Meanwhile, our ammonia-free Demi-Permanent line provides flawless grey coverage, radiant tonal shifts, and superior, long-lasting shine. Because we prioritize the integrity of your hair, every single color service includes a complimentary Aveda Botanical Repair Bond-Building Treatment, clinically proven to strengthen hair up to 5x and double its natural shine from the inside out.

FAQ
What is an All Over Color service?
It is a single-process hair color applied uniformly from roots to ends to darken, change, or refresh your current shade.
Will Aveda hair color cover my gray hair?
Yes, our Aveda permanent and demi-permanent color lines provide excellent, seamless gray coverage.
Is Aveda hair color vegan?
Yes, all Aveda hair color used at Apotheca is 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
Do you offer ammonia-free hair color?
Yes, we offer Aveda’s ammonia-free Demi-Permanent line and ammonia-free Enlightener for blonding.
How often should I get my roots touched up?
We recommend booking a New Growth touch-up every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain a seamless look.
What is Dimensional All Over Color?
It involves using multiple complementary shades (rather than just one solid color) to add richness, depth, and movement to the hair.
Will coloring my hair damage it?
No, our Aveda color is formulated with conditioning plant oils, and we include a Botanical Repair Bond-Building Treatment with every service to strengthen your hair.
What is the difference between demi-permanent and permanent color? Permanent color alters the natural pigment of the hair allowing lift, while demi-permanent adds depth, tone, and shine that gradually fades over time.
Can an All Over Color make my dark hair lighter?
A single-process color can lift virgin (uncolored) hair a few shades, but previously colored dark hair requires a blonding or color correction service to go lighter.
How long does a New Growth appointment take?
Typically, a root touch-up takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, including processing, treatment, and your blow-dry lesson.
What shampoo is best for maintaining my color?
We highly recommend Aveda’s Color Control Shampoo and Conditioner to prevent fading and maintain vibrancy.
Is it safe to color my hair while pregnant?
Many clients safely color their hair during pregnancy, especially using our naturally derived, ammonia-free options, but we always recommend consulting your doctor first.
How should I prep my hair before a color appointment?
Arrive with dry, relatively clean hair (1-2 days unwashed is fine) with minimal heavy styling products.
What does the Botanical Repair treatment do?
It builds bonds deep in the hair cortex, strengthening the hair up to 5x and doubling its shine.
Can I swim after getting my hair colored? We recommend waiting at least 48 hours before swimming, and always wetting your hair and applying a leave-in conditioner before entering chlorine or salt water.
