What to expect at your appointment

We start with a quick strand and scalp check, then map your goal color. You’ll get a realistic plan for today and the next visit, plus take-home care recommendations to protect tone and shine.

After-care that actually works

Wait at least 48 hours before your first wash to let color fully set. Shampoo less often, always condition mids-to-ends, minimize hot tools, schedule regular trims, and protect your hair from UV to slow fading. These simple habits keep your color richer for longer.

FAQs

How long will my color last?

Most clients refresh every 6–10 weeks, depending on technique and shade. Lived-in highlights and balayage stretch longer; solid fashion shades need more frequent toning.

Is corrective color a single visit?

Sometimes, but not always. Safety comes first; we’ll outline steps if your hair needs a slower approach to protect strength and shine.

Will you help me choose a shade?

Yes, and we do it with your undertone and maintenance reality in mind. Bring inspo photos; we’ll translate them into a formula that suits you.
