Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Please arrive with dry hair and bring at least 3 inspiration photos if you’re a new guest or looking to make a change.

How is the health of my hair protected during the lightening process?

K18 is used before every lightening service to help support the health and integrity of the hair throughout the color process.

Will I achieve my goal in one appointment?

Many guests do, while others may require multiple appointments depending on their starting point, color history, and desired level of brightness. During your consultation, we’ll discuss what’s realistically achievable and create a plan tailored to your goals.

How long should I wait before washing my hair?

To allow your color and gloss to fully settle, it’s recommended to wait at least 24 hours before shampooing.

How can I make my color last longer?

Using professional hair care products, minimizing excessive heat, and always applying a heat protectant before styling can help preserve your tone, shine, and overall color longevity.

How often will I need maintenance?

Maintenance schedules vary depending on your desired result and level of brightness. One of the benefits of lived-in color is beautiful grow-out, allowing many guests to go longer between appointments while still maintaining a seamless, natural-looking result.
