Custom Hair Color and Highlights

gluten free hair color shelton CT



We approach hair color differently than most hair salons.

Just like your haircut and style, we believe your hair color should be effortless and tailored just for you. Instead of stressing over all the lingo for coloring techniques like balayage or teasylights, simply describe to us your dream color or show us a picture—and we'll give you our two cents, discuss undertones and your unique facial features, then propose the best approach to achieve your Color. Please choose from our comprehensive packages of Custom Hair Color Services. REFRESH, RENEW or RESTORE. These packages include a haircut and blowdry, but can be scheduled without a Haircut Service and still enjoy a Blowdry that is always included with a Color Service.

Color Glaze and Shine

Color glazing adds shine, enhances tone, and refreshes your hair color with a translucent, glossy finish—perfect for boosting vibrancy or blending grays with a soft, natural effect.

All our professional hair color is ammonia-free and gluten-free!

Many professional hair color lines contain gluten-derived ingredients, which aren’t an issue for most people. However, our clients with Celiac disease or gluten sensitivity had shared that they often felt “a little off” after a color service. It makes sense—your skin is your body’s largest organ, and exposure to gluten-based ingredients during a service can have unintended effects. That’s why we’re proud to only offer gluten-free hair color and ammonia-free hair color - delivering rich, vibrant results without compromising your well-being.

Hair Color Correction

Whether you're dealing with unwanted brassiness, overlapping tones, or a box dye mishap, we specialize in hair color correction to restore your look. The process may involve multiple steps, such as removing unwanted pigment, re-balancing tones, or adding back depth and dimension. Every correction is customized based on your hair’s condition to ensure the healthiest approach to getting back on track.

Common Hair Color Questions

What’s the difference between highlights and balayage?
Highlights are achieved using foils to lighten specific sections of hair from root to tip for a more structured, uniform look. Balayage is a technique that creates subtle, not as bright dimension with a seamless grow-out.

Gina is beyond AMAZING!! When I can go weeks with everyone thinking I just stepped out of the salon, that is a definite nod to her skills. I pray she NEVER leaves the state of Connecticut because my hair has never looked better! I can’t begin to list how many salons I have been to and they have never had a true understanding of MY hair! Gina individualizes YOUR needs and will always go above and beyond to help you care for your hair in between visits! She has been flexible with my schedule and has been extremely accommodating. I am not a body in a chair or next on her list. I am a friend she wants to feel and look her best!! THANK YOU, GINA

I have been trying for a certain hairstyle for years now. I was unable to get it until I found Gina again! She had a lot of work to do to get me where I am today! But I am ecstatic !!!

Gina changed my life today… the Japanese hair straightening system she performed was like watching magic as my hair that I never thought could be so wonderfully soft and laid straight transformed from a coarse curly head of hair to a flowing gorgeous head of hair. The natural brown tonality on my hair showed up and was highlighted more beautifully than ever before as the treatment changed the structure of my hair. Incredible work and I’ll certainly see her for my hair from now on!

I was happy with the hair services I've received from Gina at Bespoke Hair Salon in Milford. As a professional makeup artist and esthetician (and a bit of a perfectionist, haha), I'm kind of hard to impress. And I have been impressed with her skills, knowledge and results. She actually listens to what you want. I also love all of the top trending services she offers, like her HALO Couture Hair Extensions, which I believe are going to be a big hit with brides and everyday women as well. Thanks Gina!

Ever since the first time Gina colored and styled my hair, I will never go to anyone else! She is SO TALENTED and I trust her to tell ME what to do with my hair. She quickly learned my style and goals and is mindful of my curls and lifestyle when discussing with me her plans for the appointments. Also, her new location is my favorite for me and my family. It’s comfortable and private, and she has more options of colors and products than I’ve ever dreamed! She always makes me and my children feel LOVED and GORGEOUS!! I would recommend her to everyone and anyone!!!

I just used the Bespoke housecall service and Gina was terrific and a true pro! Got a wonderful keratin straightening service with no formaldehyde- great results and none of the fumes! We used my desk chair at the sink and it worked well. She brought everything she needed in a tidy roly bag and we were finished in 2 hours (keratin treatments can be a half day at other salons in my experience). My hair does go lighter after the service so she came back next day for color to give 24 hours. Fresh half head of highlights + base single color and blow dry took 2.5 hours- very efficient! I have super thick hair- this treatment leaves really nice smooth results, cuts blow drying time in half and still allows bend in the hair- not pin straight. Love the new housecall service. Great job, Gina!
