Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Full Highlights.

A Full Highlights service typically takes two to four hours depending on hair length, thickness, and desired coverage. Time includes consultation, sectioning, lightening, toning, and finishing. Complex corrections or heavy lift may extend the appointment for best results and hair health.

When performed by our trained stylists, Full Highlights minimize damage through precise application, professional lighteners, and bond-repair treatments. Some lift involves processing, so we recommend pre- and post-service conditioning, Olaplex-type treatments, and scheduled trims to maintain strength and reduce breakage.

Arrive with clean, dry hair styled as usual and bring inspiration photos. Avoid heavy at-home color corrections before your appointment and disclose recent chemical services. A gentle deep-conditioning treatment a week prior can help, and your stylist will tailor the plan during consultation.

Full Highlights typically need a refresh every eight to twelve weeks depending on your natural hair growth, contrast, and desired brightness. Mid-cycle toner or gloss treatments every four to six weeks keep color fresh and shiny; consult your stylist for a personalized maintenance plan.

Yes—previously colored or dark hair can receive Full Highlights, but results depend on hair condition and existing color. Achieving significant lift may require staged sessions, color fillers, or pre-lightening. Your stylist will assess and recommend the safest process to reach your desired shade.

Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and conditioner, plus a purple or blue shampoo if needed to control brassiness. Incorporate weekly deep-conditioning masks, bond-repair treatments, and a thermal protectant before styling. Ask your stylist for professional products matched to your hair's needs.
