Appointments typically last two to five hours depending on hair length, thickness, and desired lift. Expect consultation, bleaching, processing, toner application, and finishing. Your stylist will give a precise time estimate during booking.

Bleaching carries risk, but we minimize damage using protective bond builders, controlled lift, and tailored processing times. We assess hair condition first and recommend treatments or gradual lightening if needed to preserve strength and elasticity.

Wait at least two days before shampooing to allow toner to settle and bonds to stabilize. Use salon-recommended sulfate-free, color-safe products and follow the at-home care plan your stylist provides for best longevity and health.

Significant lift may be achievable but depends on starting color, hair condition, and previous color. For darker or previously colored hair we might recommend staged sessions to protect integrity while reaching your target level safely.

We offer ash, beige, pearl, platinum, and custom-mixed tones, plus warm or cool-neutral options. Your stylist will evaluate your skin tone and natural pigment to recommend a flattering, long-lasting shade and mixing ratios for optimal results.

Most clients need toner refreshes every four to eight weeks depending on fade, hair porosity, and desired tone. Your stylist will suggest a maintenance schedule and at-home toning products or purple shampoos to extend salon results.
