Is it possible to get semi-permanent color to cover grays?

I was hoping to get semi-permanent in case they don’t do a good job color matching as I don’t want to change my overall hair color. Apparently they didn’t have semi-permanent to cover grays, only permanent. Now I want to know if this even exists? Where can I go to get semi-permanent single-process color for the purpose of covering grays? Ideally in Bethesda.

My stylist Walid Shaker is pretty good. 24 years experience. He’s always able to cover my greys that doesn’t fade. Check him out and give him a follow on Instagram.

You may wanna get a free consultation prior, so no surprises. You can usually get the service the same day as the consultation.❤️

No, in my experience. Gray hair is resistant to color and I only get good coverage from permanent color.

I saw Paul (was at Salon Izzy) for successful semi /demi . Looked glossy and gorgeous. If fades more quickly than permanent (mine lasted about 2 1/2 weeks). But my hair grows quickly so even with permanent the grays would have been popping by then..In agree it was much gentler.

Paul Riley - looks like he is at Kiss Salon..not saying that he is the only one who can do it, but he was very nice/approachable and could be a good way to try it. I saw him back when the sport and health in Tenleytown had a spa (!) and he was the stylist in their salon space. After that he was at Izzy in Georgetown for a long time. Anyway, he steered me to it, while I do notice most stylists seem to prefer permanent color.
