Beard Coloring

The beard is a man’s most important accessory and the completer of his style. However, greys that appear over time, color unevenness, or reddish tones can cause your beard to look unkempt or make you look older than you are. As Baby Face Hair Salon, we see the “beard coloring” process not as simple coloring, but as a “camouflage” art that rejuvenates the man’s facial expression and makes it dynamic. With our specially formulated professional products that do not damage the skin and, most importantly, do not look “artificial,” we protect your natural charisma while covering the greys in your beard.

What is Professional Beard Coloring and Why is it Necessary?

Beard coloring is a cosmetic procedure performed to eliminate pigment loss (greying) in beard hairs or to equalize the overall color tone of the beard. Standard hair dyes used at home can be too aggressive for facial skin and leave an artificial, matte look like “shoe polish” or “charcoal black” on the beard. In the professional process we apply at Baby Face, ammonia-free and semi-permanent special dyes suitable for the natural structure of the beard are used. While this process ensures your beard looks thicker, fuller, and well-groomed, it erases the tired expression on your face and gives you a more energetic look.

Our Priority is Naturalness

Men’s biggest hesitation regarding beard coloring is “it being obvious that it is dyed.” We understand this concern very well. Therefore, in our salon, instead of “full coverage,” we also apply “breaking” or “shading” (grey blending) techniques according to preference. Sometimes, instead of covering whites 100%, we break them by 80%, providing a natural transition as if no procedure was done at all. Our experts prepare a special mix based on your beard’s base color (root color). Thus, when your beard grows, a sharp and disturbing difference does not occur between the roots and the tips.

Application Process and Skin Health

Facial skin is much more sensitive and permeable than the scalp. That’s why standard hair dye is never applied to the beard at Baby Face Hair Salon. The process begins with the application of special oils protecting your skin. Then, the dye is applied with the help of a brush or comb according to your facial features and beard density. The waiting time varies between 5 to 15 minutes depending on the desired darkness. The products we use do not harden the beard hairs; on the contrary, they soften the beard thanks to the care oils in their content and do not irritate the skin. With the special wash done after the procedure, dye residues are completely purified from the skin.

Who Should Get Beard Coloring?

It is ideal for men who have regional greys in their beard, experience incompatibility between beard color and hair color (for example, black hair but red beard), or want to make their beards look fuller because they are sparse. Also, people who are termed “baby-faced” or whose beards look as if they don’t exist because they are very light-colored or blonde can define their facial features with this process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will beard dye cause allergies or irritation on my skin?

The products used at Baby Face Hair Salon are professional series specially developed for the face area, ammonia-free, and having a low chemical ratio. We apply protective barrier creams before the procedure for sensitive skins. Still, if you have an extremely allergic constitution, we can perform a small patch test on your wrist before the procedure.

Does a dyed beard look artificial?

It absolutely does not look artificial when done with the right color selection and the right processing time. The “shoe polish” look usually stems from wrong color selection (too black) or the use of poor quality products. By using a tone lighter than your own beard tone or the same, we obtain a result that is not matte but vibrant and natural.

How long is beard dye permanent?

The beard is an area that grows much faster than hair and is washed frequently (due to face washing). Therefore, the life of beard dye is between 10 to 15 minutes on average. At the end of 2 weeks, your own color starts to come from the roots, and the dye flows out slowly.

How long does the process take?

Beard coloring is a quite fast process suitable for the intense tempo of today’s man. Including preparation, application, waiting, and washing, it is completed within 15-20 minutes in total. You can easily get it done during your lunch break or right after your shave.

Does beard dye cause my beard to fall out?

No, professional beard dyes do not damage hair follicles. On the contrary, the vitamins and oils in the content of some of our products nourish the beard hairs, making them look shinier and more vibrant.

Do I have to cover the greys completely?

No, the control is completely yours. If you wish, we can achieve a younger but mature look (George Clooney style) by doing a “breaking” process, just greying the whites without covering them completely. This is the favorite process even of our customers who approach dyeing most distantly.
