Longevity depends on color type and hair porosity: permanent color lasts several weeks to months, while semi-permanent fades after four to eight weeks. Using color-safe products and minimizing heat styling prolongs results; schedule touch-ups based on regrowth and fading patterns.

Styling is not included in the Color service. Our stylists focus on precise color application and consultation. Add-on styling or blowouts are available for an additional fee; please book or request styling when scheduling so we can allocate appropriate time.

AVEDA color may be available at an extra cost. Mention your preference when booking so we can confirm availability and pricing. AVEDA provides plant-based, salon-quality pigments designed to nourish hair while delivering vivid, long-lasting color.

We assess hair condition during consultation and recommend formulas or patch tests accordingly. Gentle semi-permanent options or AVEDA treatments can minimize damage. Deep-conditioning and professional recommendations help protect fragile hair; full disclosure of past treatments ensures the best, safest results.

Arrive with clean, dry hair unless instructed otherwise. Avoid heavy styling products and recent clarifying treatments. Bring photos of desired shades and inform us about previous dyes or chemical services. This information helps create an accurate color plan and timing estimate.

We generally recommend waiting 48 to 72 hours before the first shampoo to allow color to set. Use lukewarm water and color-safe, sulfate-free shampoos thereafter. Your stylist will give personalized aftercare guidance based on the formula used and your hair type.
