Aveda Full Spectrum Permanent™ Vegan Treatment Hair Color

At Varuna, exceptional hair color starts with expert hands. Our highly trained stylists combine advanced color theory, precision formulation, and years of experience to achieve your exact desired look, whether that’s seamless gray coverage, expert highlight, dimensional balayage, or a complete color transformation.

We use Aveda Full Spectrum Permanent™ Vegan Treatment Hair Color, a high-performance system that blends plant-powered ingredients with modern green chemistry. The result is rich, long-lasting color with an expanded shade range, pure tone customization, and up to 100% gray coverage.

Every formula is custom-crafted for you. Your skin tone, lifestyle, maintenance preferences, and hair health all guide the process because great color isn’t one-size-fits-all.

What sets Varuna apart is the finish. Enhanced conditioning oils leave your hair softer, shinier, and healthier, while advanced pigments maintain vibrancy between visits. All in a vegan, cruelty-free formula produced with renewable energy and responsible sourcing.

What this really means: color that looks natural or bold by design, and feels as good as it looks.

With Aveda Full Spectrum Vibrants, bold color becomes a customized expression of your personal style. Whether you’re adding a subtle peek-a-boo accent or creating a full transformation, every vivid service at Varuna is designed with intention, precision, and artistry. No two vivid color services are the same. Your result is tailored to your hair, your lifestyle, and the level of vibrancy you want to achieve.

Vivid color is a multi-step process that often requires creating a clean, light blonde canvas before applying your custom shade, and depending on your starting point, this may take more than one visit to protect the integrity of your hair. We require a consultation to map out your color plan, timeline, and investment.

You can expect high-impact color with luminous shine, conditioning plant oils that leave hair feeling soft and healthy, custom-blended tones designed specifically for you, and a sensory experience with Aveda’s signature aroma of ylang-ylang and ginger. This is a semi-permanent color designed to gradually fade over time, typically lasting 10–15 washes depending on care, fading true-to-tone without harsh lines, and best maintained with professional products and refresh services. Aveda Full Spectrum Vibrants is formulated without ammonia, silicone, parabens, phthalates, or mineral oil.

Vivid hair color is beautiful, expressive, and high maintenance by nature, and regular refresh appointments along with proper home care are essential to keep your color looking its best.
