Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Color.
Color longevity depends on dye type, hair porosity, and upkeep. Permanent color can last until growth shows, while semi-permanent fades in four–twelve weeks. Use sulfate-free shampoos, cool water, and color-safe products; schedule touch-ups to maintain vibrancy.
When done professionally, Color minimizes damage through tailored formulas, gentle application, and protective bonding treatments. We assess hair health and recommend conditioning services or Olaplex-like treatments to strengthen strands and reduce breakage before or after coloring.
Bring photos, list recent chemical treatments, and arrive with dry, brushed hair. Avoid heavy product buildup but don't wash immediately before the appointment if possible. This helps stylists assess natural texture and previous color for accurate formulation and safer application.
Touch-up frequency depends on dye type, root contrast, and growth rate. Most clients book permanent color every 4–8 weeks, while low-maintenance tones or balayage need 8–12 week refreshes. Your stylist will recommend the ideal timing.
Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos and rich conditioners to prevent premature fading. Incorporate weekly deep conditioning, UV-protectant sprays, and heat protectants before styling. We can recommend salon-grade products tailored to your color to extend vibrancy and hair health.
Same-day changes after bleaching or other chemical services are generally discouraged because hair needs time to recover and bonders may be required. We perform a consultation and strand test to determine safety; often a waiting period or conditioning treatment is advised before recoloring.
