Typically 2 to 4 hours depending on hair length, density, and desired lightness. Consultation and processing times vary; we’ll provide a personalized estimate when assessing your hair and desired result at the start of your appointment.
When performed professionally with appropriate lighteners and bond-repair treatments, damage is minimized. We assess hair health beforehand and recommend Olaplex or similar treatments and at-home care to strengthen hair and maintain color integrity between visits.
Most clients return every 10–16 weeks depending on contrast and hair growth. Lower-contrast melts can stretch longer, while high-contrast looks may need more frequent refreshing. We’ll recommend a timeline during your consultation based on your style and lifestyle.
Yes. We can lift hair several levels, though the achievable lightness depends on your base color, hair condition, and previous services. Multiple sessions might be recommended for dramatic lifts to preserve hair integrity and achieve the desired tone.
Use sulfate-free color-safe shampoo, regular deep conditioning, and a purple shampoo if needed to tone brassiness. Limit heat styling, use heat protectant, and schedule salon glosses or toners to refresh color and shine every few months.
Absolutely. Root melts and ombré techniques adapt to most lengths and textures. For short or curly hair, we adjust placement and contrast to enhance shape and curl pattern, ensuring a flattering, low-maintenance finish.
