What the blend does
The Color 1b Burgundy Mixed with Black Blend layers deep burgundy over a black base to create visible depth and contrast without dramatic lightening. The result is a rich, dramatic appearance that reads as both warm and edgy, suited for clients looking for high-impact color with subtle dimensionality.
Your natural hair color, porosity and previous treatments shape how the burgundy appears; darker or previously colored hair will show deeper, subtler burgundy tones. Local factors such as Columbus's humid, subtropical climate and routine washing or heat styling affect color appearance and maintenance, so expect variation between clients.
What to expect during service
At our Midtown Columbus location the Color 1b Burgundy Mixed with Black Blend is applied as a focused color service; the listed price is $10 and the listed duration is 5 minutes. This makes it practical for commuters and those on tight schedules who value an immediate, noticeable color update.
Because the service is brief, many clients combine it with other salon appointments or with activities like a RiverWalk stroll or museum visit. Demand increases in Oct, Nov and Dec, when deeper burgundy tones are seasonally popular for fall and winter events, so plan ahead during those months.
Care and longevity factors
Color retention depends on factors you can control: how often you wash hair, water temperature, and styling heat, plus exposure to sun and outdoor activities near the Chattahoochee River. These behaviors change how quickly color appears to fade, but outcomes will vary with each client's hair history.
Simple maintenance steps such as cooler washes and reducing hot tools can help preserve the burgundy tones longer, while scheduling touch-ups during peak months keeps depth consistent. If you live or commute through areas served by I-185 or Veterans Parkway, this quick service fits into short breaks or errands.
