About

The Colour Attic was established in 2016 and is run by founder and CEO Tara Reich, who started the salon. It is located at 17910 Magnolia St in Fountain Valley and draws clients from across the surrounding Orange County towns.

The salon aims for hair that fits everyday life and needs little upkeep. Stylists begin each visit with a consultation in which they review the photos a client brings as inspiration, then build a customized at-home hair care plan so the result is easier to keep up between appointments. The salon describes its style as luxury that feels approachable rather than exclusive.

Color is a major part of the menu. Options run from root touch-ups for grey coverage or root color, to an all-over color that refreshes depth or tone, to partial and full foiling with root shadow and glaze included. The salon names its all-over color as its most popular service. A Money Shot Refresher offers an in-between highlight update around the face, with up to 12 foils. Full foiling covers all areas of the head and is commonly booked by blonde clients every one to two times a year.

Extensions are a larger focus. Methods include tape-ins, sew-in Genius Wefts and K-tips, along with weft installs in one-row and two-row versions for added fullness, volume or length. Extension consultations are virtual, and the coordinator personally reviews each inquiry and matches the client with a stylist within 24 hours of the form being submitted. Side-piece extensions are offered to fill in breakage, postpartum hair loss or a lack of fullness.

Treatments include a keratin smoothing treatment for frizz and unruly hair and a repair treatment customized for tangles, breakage or dryness. Guests can browse a café menu on arrival, with one drink included; the signature drink is the Mane Matcha Latte.

The salon aims for low-maintenance hair that suits daily life, with each client given a customized at-home care plan after a consultation built around their inspiration photos.
