Eager to shift your shade? Look no further than Westchester’s fUSION
Color Bar, which takes a unique approach to the art of hair color. In
terms of highlights and double-processing, many claim you get what you
pay for, but fUSION is the exception—their wallet-friendly prices start
at $45, and you’ll get a full consultation with one of the pro
colorists, and if you don’t have time for the treatments, an expert can
custom-blend a DIY kit for you to take home and apply at your own
convenience. Vegan detox options are also offered in case your strands
are in need of a little mending, and since the salon operates on a
walk-in only basis, you can drop by whenever you have a moment for a
touch up, quick change, or some corrective help after a botched job—no
judgement! (More..) |

THE NEXT BIG THING: HAIRCOLOR BARS
fUSION COLOR BAR OFFERS WALK-IN OR DIY HAIRCOLOR
Jefferson Valley, NY—First there were blow-dry bars, now salons that offer extreme expertise and the ultimate in haircolor options are taking the country by storm. At fUSION Color Bar in Jefferson Valley, NY, men and women can get everything from gray blending to root retouches, highlights to complex corrective color. Convenient and affordable retouches are big part of the business, but owner Rocco Plateroti says the real advantage is that he and his staff can focus on the artistry of color, and offer both in-salon services and at-home color kits.
“When I developed my color bar concept, I wanted to fuse high-quality, customized color with convenience and affordability,” says Plateroti.
When you walk in the door at fUSION Color Bar, you can see any of the Coloristas, who Plateroti personally trained in every service. For retouches, consumers have the choice of an in-salon service or a custom-formulated, fUSION@home root-maintenance kit, which retails for $24.90 and includes everything needed to DIY.
“Women who buy haircolor at the drug store or online rarely get the best color for them,” notes Plateroti. “Once we custom-create a formula, clients can purchase the home kit up to three times before we ask them to visit the salon, so we can enhance the color. This keeps their color looking great from roots-to-ends, while making haircolor affordable.”
Pin-Up on the Edge
For clients on a budget, the pros at fUSION Color Bar can fix anything—even Goth black—and salon’s latest photo shoot, “Pin-Up in Ink,” proves it.
The makeover features a real-life client who had black extensions, nearly black box color and ½-inch of brunette roots. She also had a short, undercut section. Through controlled lightening and toning in stages, the hair is transformed into a bombshell blonde in a single visit. Plateroti also adjusted the cut by shifting its highest point and adding layers.
Rocco Plateroti is an award-winning stylist and colorist with 30 years of experience. He has seen the change in women’s lifestyles and the demand for on-the-go color, he says, and fUSION Color Bar is his response to that need.
fUSION color bar is located at 3653 Lee Road, Jefferson Valley, NY 10535. For more information, visit www.fusioncolorbar.com, or contact: Rocky Plateroti at rplateroti@fusioncolorbar.com or 914-302-6114
