Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Full Highlights.
Appointments typically range from 2.5 to 4 hours depending on hair length, density, desired lift, and toning. Consultations help determine exact timing; first-time lightening can take longer to safely achieve your desired level with bond-conscious techniques.
Lightening can cause stress, but we prioritize health with bond-repair treatments, controlled lift, and professional products. A personalized plan, Olaplex-style treatments, and post-care recommendations minimize damage and keep strands strong and shiny.
Refresh frequency varies by contrast and hair growth, but generally every 8–12 weeks for tone and brightness. Between appointments, use color-safe shampoo, purple toning products for brassiness, and gloss services to extend vibrancy and smooth cuticle reflection.
Yes—dark hair can be lifted, though achieving pale blonde may require multiple sessions. We use safe, staged lightening and toning to reach desired depth while preserving integrity. A consultation sets realistic expectations and a progressive plan for best results.
Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos, conditioner, and weekly bond-repair or deep-conditioning masks. Incorporate a purple shampoo if needed for brassiness, limit heat styling, and schedule gloss or gloss-refresh appointments every 6–12 weeks to maintain tone and shine.
Absolutely. Techniques are adjusted for curl pattern, porosity, and shrinkage to ensure even lift and tone. We may use sectioning, lower-volume lightener, and targeted placement to preserve shape and elasticity, plus moisture-focused aftercare to maintain curl health.
