Essential Hair Coloring info & FAQ's

Here’s everything you need to know—from prep and timing to aftercare and safety, all designed to ensure beautiful, long-lasting results.
Multilingual consultations available for clarity and comfort.

Answer:

Begin your journey with a thorough consultation to discuss your hair goals, preferences, and lifestyle, ensuring a color that exceeds your expectations.

  • We guarantee seamless blends
  • All colors come with a ten-day warranty
  • A bonding treatment to preserve hair strength and integrity
  • Includes one gloss/toner/glaze
  • Does not include styling

Answer:

Decide based on the maintenance level you prefer:

  • Low-maintenance minimal upkeep (~6–9 months between touch-ups).
  • Moderate (classic highlights): vibrant with touch-ups every 3–4 months.
  • High-refresh (Air Touch/full foil): consistently radiant blonde with salon visits every 3–4 months.

Simply book the maintenance level you want and book a free consultation.

Answer:

We tailor pricing to match your unique needs—hair length, thickness, texture, previous color history, and chosen technique (Air Touch, babylights, foil) all influence time and product usage. We’ll give you a precise estimate during your complimentary consultation.

Answer:

Before your appointment: Wash your hair 1–2 days in advance—not freshly cleaned, but not overly oily—to create the ideal balance for even color. Use a detox or clarifying shampoo once a week before your appointment to purify buildup without stripping essential oils.

One week before your appointment: Skip all heat styling—flat irons, curling wands, blow dryers—and schedule a protein or moisturizing treatment to strengthen and balance your hair for optimal color absorption.

If your hair is severely damaged from flat irons, curling tools, or chemicals, please book a strand test during your consultation to ensure we choose the best plan for healthy, even color.

After coloring: Avoid shampooing for 48–72 hours to allow the hair cuticle to fully close and lock in color.

Ongoing care:

  • Wash 2–3 times a week using cool water and sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos.
  • Use dry shampoo between washes to extend color longevity.
  • Continue a protein or moisturizing treatment one week prior to your next appointment to prep your hair for its next color refresh.

Answer:

We’re proud to use four top-tier brands in all our color and care services: Wella, Redken, Alfaparf Milano, and L’Oréal Professionnel.

  • Wella Professionals: Precision formulas ideal for consistent color results and trusted in salons worldwide for luxury shine and long-lasting color.
  • Redken: Scientific, protein + moisture + pH approach known as the Acidic Bonding Complex.
  • Alfaparf Milano: Premium Italian salon brand with sulfate-free, silicone-free options and cruelty-free ranges.
  • L’Oréal Professionnel: Absolut Repair Molecular and Scalp Advanced lines for cuticle strength and scalp care.

Answer:

Avoid frequent washing, use cool water, and cover your hair from sun and chlorine—UV rays and pool chemicals can lighten hair color quickly.

Answer:

Yes—we require a patch test 48 hours before your appointment to screen for common allergens like PPD, which can cause severe reactions.

Being honest about sensitivities, gluten intolerance, or henna usage helps us ensure your safety and success.

Answer:

Prior color services (box dyes, balayage, perms), chemical treatments, and home routines impact how products process. Sharing your hair story helps us choose the healthiest and most effective coloring plan.

Answer:

Expect colorful possibilities—wear comfortable, easy-to-remove clothes (think button-down shirts or old tops). Avoid your favorite or expensive pieces—you’ll enjoy your service worry-free.

If your hair has a history of dark color, box dyes, or multiple chemical treatments, transitioning to a lighter shade may require a corrective color service.

What to Expect:

  • Strand Test Required: A strand test is essential to assess how your hair will react to lightening and to determine the appropriate products and techniques.
  • Multiple Sessions Possible: Achieving your desired lightness may require more than one appointment, depending on your hair’s condition and history.
  • Professional Assessment: Our color specialists will evaluate your hair’s health and discuss realistic expectations to ensure a safe and effective transformation.

If your hair has a history of dark color, box dyes, or multiple chemical treatments, transitioning to a lighter shade may require a corrective color service. This specialized process often involves multiple steps to ensure optimal results and maintain hair health.

A strand test is required to assess hair health, elasticity, and how your hair will react to lightening or color adjustments. This ensures a safe, high-quality outcome and helps us build the right formula and timing. It also prevents potential damage from layered or dark color.
